Prayer Requests - Three Boys and a Truck

First Prayer Request - Three Boys from Siguatepeque

Since the closing of Toncontin Airport in Tegucigalpa we have had to travel 110 miles (5 1/2 hours) to pick up our teams. We were all dreading the trip , but God had a plan in store for us during these last few weeks. Our first trip back from San Pedro Sula we met three boys at a bus stop in Siguatepeque begging for money. Their ages are 8, 10, and 12.

Isaias, Yunior (Junior), and Nery

One of the boys, Junior, told me that his parents were dead and that his brothers and sisters were also dead from eating some sort of poison when they were little, but he was living with an aunt. He began to tell me that he begged for money so that they would have enough money for his family to eat. The other two boys also beg in order to have some food on the table. We shared the ministry with them and told them that we would be coming back through the next week and would like to talk to the relative that was overseeing them. We gave them a time for the next week, but due to flight delays we were unable to find them. We have looked for three weeks for these young boys and Glory to God we found them last weekend at a different bus stop. We went to each of their houses and how our hearts broke when we arrived.

Isaias and Nery's house (it's really just a metal roof with no walls)

At one house (Juniors) we had to get out of the truck and walk because the road got so bad that we couldn't drive any further. We have a meeting set up with them this weekend to possibly bring them into the ministry. Please pray that the relatives overseeing them will find this a great opportunity for them to get off them streets and have a new start in life.


Truck Fund
Over the past several months of being here in Honduras we have run into several difficulties with transportation. We have been using a ministry vehicle from the time we arrived in February and with this being the only vehicle in the ministry you can probably imagine how difficult things can get. It's like having a family of 70 people and trying to get it all accomplished. Lori and I are in the process of starting a "Truck Fund" in order to help out with the ministries transportation needs and to meet our own everyday needs. We ask that you all pray with us as we start this fund. If God lays it on your heart to give to this fund and you would like to donate online then follow the link below:
