Greetings from San Pedro Sula, Honduras! All the talk on the streets this morning is about the US-Honduras soccer game to be played here in San Pedro Sula this afternoon. It promises to be a hot day–it was about 33 degrees yesterday (92 Fahrenheit). On this last day in Honduras, I will meet with various …

It’s Sunday Again: San Pedro Sula
Another Sunday: I will worship with another part of God’s family. I anticipate that today will be a special day as the spiritual family assembles to worship God in Barrio Cabañas–two baptisms yesterday, new members, a new elder to be installed today. In multiplied places around the world, God’s people continue faithfully in the midst …

Olancho Summary
Today is travel day as I return to Tegucigalpa by bus in preparation for First Day Ceremonies at Baxter tomorrow. It seems incredible that the bus trip to Tegucigalpa takes more time than the air trip from Tulsa to Tegucigalpa! The four days in Olancho have been filled with activities–leader and preacher training each morning …

A lot has been written about the physical needs that exist in the Honduran population. Indeed, there are a lot of problems and a lot of needs. There is also a great spiritual need which surpasses the physical needs. For two days, I have met with a group of Christians who are hungering and thirsting …

Mission Honduras: Final Report
Today is Day 8–travel day to the US. After a full and productive week in Honduras, this is a day of anticipation as we look forward to returning home to routines and family, but also a day of sadness as we leave people we have learned to love in the Lord. The day we arrived …
Mission Honduras: June 2012
The mission group I am with has been here five days. We arrived last Thursday and attended mid-week Bible study at Los Pinos that evening. The building was comfortably filled. Friday and Saturday were work days at the church building, including lots of fix-up, clean-up, repainting metal windows and doors and also repainting the structure …
Blessed! Bendecido!
Today I am blessed. On this day as I awaken again in Honduras, I am thinking of friends, churches, and brothers and sisters in Christ in many parts of Latin America. God is good! Many times in Latin America, the response to the question, “Como esta?” is “Bendecido.” We are blessed by God. He cares …
Three Busy Days
The next three days will be filled and overflowing–today and tomorrow with the seminar at EBH, Sunday with preaching and return travel to Tegucigalpa before my Monday return to the US. The EBH seminar has been shortened with only a half day on Saturday so that those attending can catch the buses to return to …
