July 28, 2004

We have finally gotten back to normal in our home, church and jobs after the wonderfully blessed trip we had to Honduras June 30 through July 11, 2004.


 

Our initial plan was to live at the farm in La Ermita, where Christ Outreach Ministries was based and to paint the ministry center, hold services and VBS.

We also hoped to do some murals inside.

We were going to spend only the first night at Jimmy Hughes Ministries with the children in his children's home. But, praise God, our plans changed a bit and we did so much more than we originally planned.

Jimmy allowed us to stay in the children's home for our entire stay, which allowed us to minister to the children with love and to play with them each morning and night. We had breakfast and dinner with them almost every day.

 

When we first arrived, there were only eight children at the home: (baby in red shirt is Samuel, a worker's child.)
 

 
Gustavo, Jamie, Samuel, Jacquie, Orlen,
Fernando, Byron, Gustavo and Roni.

During our second day, three more arrived, above.


Two days before we left, two more children arrived: Fabiola and Searcia, seen to right. Each morning and evening was a blessing.

The children chased us around, played games and were just so full of joy it is hard to describe. The group from New Orleans did not come, so our plans for nightly revivals and vbs in La Ermita were adjusted.
 


 

We first spent some time at Jimmy Hughes ministry, which has a rehabilitation program for drug and alcohol addicts and others needing life change.

Every morning they meet in the "War Room" for praise and worship and teaching.

On Saturday July 3, Lee, who was ready for another day building an 8-foot high barbed wire fence, was asked to teach the residents.
