Looking Ahead

[Sorry I didn't get this written yesterday. I still had some residual tiredness from the trip.]

We are very excited about our future work in Honduras! I was hoping this recent trip would, among other things, allow us to make key contacts to help us plan our future strategy. It did! We were able to have a couple of very significant conversations.

We want to work in one village, making repeated trips to the same place. We will get to know the people, and they will get to know us. We are in the process of identifying a village. The one we have in mind has no church and only receives water once a day for two hours. It is poorer than most of the surrounding villages.

There is a medical training school that plans to build a clinic in this village and is looking for a church to help with it. The Baxter Institute wants to help plant a church in the village. We hope to be a partner with both of these things. We would like to build a tank to hold water, build houses, distribute food, help build a church building, and many other things. We are actively praying for guidance.

I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future. I am excited about walking into it.
