Ready to Go

Early Thursday morning our Honduras Mission Team of 21 will depart Indianapolis to work and serve in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. We will be there from July 1-11. We have two wonderful drivers taking us to the airport at 3 a.m. - Quince Earls and Ryan Roberts.

While in Honduras we will work in all kinds of ways but never far from the things mentioned in Matthew 25:31-46. We are in charge of adult evangelism this year, so we have developed and illustrated 9 lessons that will share the good news of Jesus with hundreds of people in various villages in Tegucigalpa. Please pray for open hearts.

Fund-raising for this trip has been interesting and somewhat unusual. Several people paid their own way, which was a huge help. Funds have come from our Wednesday Evening Meals, special meals, a Schwann’s order, a yard sale, a special contribution at Easter, lots of generous individuals, and other sources. All the funds combined will allow us to:

Cover the cost of getting everyone there and back
Install 2 water treatment systems in orphanages
Build 7 houses


Our team will join with several others. All together there will be more than 150 of us. We have lots of wonderful projects planned.

We really solicit your daily prayers. Lives will change as a result of our trip and the work with Hondurans. Ours. Theirs.

I hope to blog, complete with a photo album, each day, so check back later this week.
