Project Completed

One of our major projects this year is turning an old forgotten building into a learning center. It began with seeing a need, which sparked into a vision. We began to toss around the idea of a central, neutral place where we could host pastoral events, marriage conferences, health care education… The possibilities are endless. However, it was just an idea in our head. Last year we began to pray about it. During our furlough, we witnessed an amazing response to this proposal of replacing the old roof which was falling down and making this concrete structure something once again.

It was if God couldn’t wait for us to get started. The within the first few weeks of being in the states, a team was ready to come help. The next week, a check came in with the funds to cover a new roof, the following week, another team was wanting to come and help! It was absolutely incredible to see how a vision was endorsed by God and suddenly everything was lined up and ready to go. Once we got back to Honduras we began to purchase the metal and supplies needed for the project to get it ready for the teams.

The first team we had was from Crosspointe church, in Ohio. They sent down three guys to help put a porch on the front of the learning center.

The second team was from the Berean church, in Indiana. They also sent down a group of three. Two of them worked on cutting the metal and welding the trusses. The third part of the team is a lovely young lady who has been helping us in the clinic getting ready for our annual brigade in two weeks.

The third team also came from Crosspointe church in Ohio. This time they sent four guys to help put on the roof. They worked so quickly that they found other jobs to keep them occupied. One of the guys spent most of the week measuring, trimming hanging doors in the guest side of the duplex. A project that has been sitting for about 3 years now. Now our guests will have doors on their bedrooms in place of sheets.

We still need to do some painting to refresh the building, along doors and windows. Lord willing, we can have it ready in time for our next pastoral training event.

We would love it if you can pray. Here are a few big things that we have going on right now.

1. Please pray for us missionaries here in Rus Rus, our annual brigade starts next week. Pray for fortitude and strength to serve those in our communities well.

2. Pray for the airplane to return to Honduras speedily after a major repair. Currently it is on its way to MMS in Ohio. We are so grateful for their willingness and availability to begin repairs right away.

3. Pray that the circulation permit for the airplane will be finished by the time the airplane arrives back here in country.

4. Pray for the logistics of bringing doctors and nurses here and back who are coming for the brigade, without the airplane it’s a lot more difficult to orchestrate.
