My sweet dad is on a mission trip in Honduras for ten days.
Would you please pray for their group while they are there?
I would be most grateful and so would he.
We have had word that he is there safely...praises!
They went to Diamonte, an orphanage for boys which my parent's church has supported....
Project Alternative- a group helping street kids
and impoverished, single women and children learn ways to have a better life.
The program is run by by Heifer International.
If you have not heard of this, it's an amazing organization!
Then they had a 9 hour bus ride to Trinidad
where they will be working in the remote area of Copantle
for several days.
for several days.
They are helping this community rebuild homes...
cinder block homes
and I think they have to make each cinder block.
It's a grueling process and primitive conditions,
but they are doing God's work
but they are doing God's work
and loving these grateful people in the process.
Although the following video is not from my dad's current trip,
it was filmed in the area where he is right now.
I will certainly be sharing more when he returns.
They have promised to take lots of photos during their stay.
In addition to this, our 12 year old left today for a summer mission trip through our church.
He's headed to participate in
Our sermon today was on the Good Samaritan.
I loved the perspective...sometimes we think we are the ones going to help the broken.
But the fact is, we are all broken and often times, we end up being the ones served and loved unconditionally by the least of these.
Thank you for remembering these two groups
and certainly the people they are helping.
May they all have the opportunity to love each other as brothers and sisters in Christ.
