Receiving Them In, Raising Them Up, Releasing Them Out!!
Honduras, a country slightly larger than Tennessee, has a population of 7.5 million people. It is the second largest country in Central America. Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, has an extraordinarily unequal distribution of income and massive unemployment. The unemployment rate is 27.5%. The number of people living below the poverty line in Honduras is 53%. Widespread malnutrition complicates the population’s fragile health. Poverty and hopelessness contribute to crime, unwed pregnancies, drug and alcohol abuse, AIDS, family violence, poor public health, and widespread functional illiteracy. Honduras needs your help!

Vehicles Needed Urgently |  | 
Our vehicle situation has risen to a critical level! We currently have 3 ministry vehicles, yet they are all constantly breaking down. If you know anyone that has a car, truck or SUV in good working condition they can donate it for a tax write off (not to mentions blessings from heaven!!!). These are vehicles we use to do daily ministry; such as driving to outreach sites, taking girls to church, transporting the children at orphanage....and much much more! Multipurpose vehicles are best! A plea from one of our missionaries currently serving in Honduras: I will tell you exactly why we need a vehicle... Because yesterday in the flooding rain storms I thought it was a super bad idea to take a bus and taxis when the streets were full to my knees with nasty water. I shall attempt the Mashida were my initial thoughts as I started out the adventure. Of course it wouldn’t start at first...

Plenty of Flour | |
This is referring to the story of a widow living in Zerepath during a drought. When the prophet, Elijah meets her at the gates of the village, she was gathering sticks to cook her last meal for her and her son and thought she would then die. Elijah asks her to cook him a loaf of bread FIRST. Ouch! It is one thing to share when we have had our fill or there is plenty to go around, but share when it means there may be none left for me and my family? As an act of obedience, she made the loaf for the prophet first and the scripture says she, Elijah, and her son continued to eat from her supply of flour and oil for many days.
