We had a visitor on the porch of the cafeteria the other night.
Today our team visited La Cebita School in the morning. We gave flouride and deworming treatments to more than two hundred children.
This is a home we saw while touring La Cebita.
This team traveled to the "Swinging Bridge" Community in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, we visited the "Swinging Bridge Community" where again we could see the benefits of your generosity and compassion to the people of Honduras. This is a bridge built by our church and in the picture below you can see the log previously being used as a crossing.
Amy taught a Bible lesson to the children.
We met the local residents of the "Swinging Bridge Community".
We had our hearts broken in Tejeras. This meal is provided by our church to these children three times a week. They walk down a busy highway carrying a plate and cup and are served a hot meal. Women of the Church, today you fed these beautiful children. Some did not bring plates, but plastic lids from containers and thermos tops. The need was overwhelming and we had to ration out the last of the food because we had so many to serve. Believe me when I tell you that it was difficult to maintain composure or to even process what we saw. They were so hungry and we did not have enough.
This is the road the people travel to and from Tejeras. We saw children three years old leading smaller children by the hand down this road.
Thanks to all of you who are praying for us. The weight of the needs around us has begun to really sink in and we are at times having difficulty understanding how to even help. Tonight, we are all tucked in bed listening to the steady rhythm of a good hard rain. To God be the glory.
I immediately thought of Matthew 25:31-46 while reading what you are doing for the precious people of Honduras. I was overwhelmed with tears while standing in my kitchen fully furnished with plenty to eat. Sure puts things into perspective. Love y'all, "Jim"
ReplyDeleteHola, and I miss y'all already. You are all in my prayers while you continue God's work there. Give Arturo, Suyapa, Sandra, Gloria, Stanley, Wilmer, and definitely my man Daniel all my love! See y'all back in the states.
