Greetings from Honduras!

We're having an incredible week!  I'm exhausted but it's a good kind of tired, one that comes from a sense of accomplishment. Time to highlight just a few things:
-Spending three nights in La Laguana was wonderful and taxing  at the same time.  Two services in the dark in their half completed worship shelter.  Meeting Pastor Begnino and some strong believers intent on spreading the gospel throught these mountains. Sleeping in a 2 room house and sharing it with a setting hen and scorpion. Fighting the mud from the rain we had. Hiking down, way down to the river and enjoying the magnificent scenery of God's creation. Being heartbroken over the unbelievable needs we have encountered--children with terrible vision but no way to pay for eye care, unsanitary/unhealthy living conditions, hunger, and much more...

-Our team is made up of people with a great passion to show and share the love of Christ. Our Honduran support team has provided excellent leadership for us. The rest of the team is in El Membrillal. I was so looking forward to that part of the trip, but have had responsibilities teaching and preaching elsewhere. I'm praying that tonight might see the first person saved in that village!

-I had the opportunity of preaching in a church in El Zapote last night and I was the one who received such a great blessing from their worship team, pastor and 70 attentive participants!  During the day I led a study on prayer and thought of someone in our congregation as I talked about turning problems into opportunitie! This morning we fought through muddy almost impassable roads to get to a small group at what seemed like the top of the world for training. What an adventure. I've got to stop, but I've left so much out.

Pray for me as I preach to a congregation here in Victoria tonight and get ready to come home on Saturday.  I can't say thank you enough to those who have been praying this week. I've needed your prayers and they have been felt!

I pray you have sensed God's presence, blessing and purpose in your life today!
