Dear Pastor and Church Family,
Recent Open Doors: We continue to rejoice in the Lord’s faithfulness as He opens doors of opportunity both here in the States and abroad. Although we are currently away from Honduras, the work presses on, and we are thankful for how God is sustaining and growing the ministry during this time.
Our two faithful workers, Rigo and Enger, continue to carry out the basic upkeep of the conference property, keeping the grounds maintained and cared for. We are grateful for their consistency and heart for the work. At the same time, the list of future developments continues to grow, and we are anxious to return and resume hands-on involvement with the many projects ahead. While we remain here in the States, we are doing all we can to raise support for various ministry needs.
One exciting update is our ongoing efforts toward purchasing a $30,000 backhoe, which would be a tremendous asset to the property development and maintenance in Honduras. So far, the Lord has provided $9,000 toward this project, and we are continuing to trust Him for the remainder. Please pray with us as we seek His provision in this critical area to raise the rest of the funds, as well as provision to cover the cost for shipping and transportation..
God has given us great opportunities to visit many new churches and create impactful connections, in both missions conferences as well as missions emphasis Sundays. It has been a special blessing to have multiple opportunities for my children and wife to share testimonies during our visits to supporting churches. During our stay here in the Northwest, we have centralized our furlough at our home church, which has allowed our family, when we are not scheduled at any churches, to be involved in many ways. From music specials and orchestra, to preaching and teaching, to tutoring students in instruments, the opportunities to serve have been abundant and rewarding. We are still continuing in our language learning efforts, and little by little we are able to see an improvement in our abilities to understand and speak Spanish.
