Team
We've assembled our team. We've shared our faith journeys with personal
testimony. We've learned how to take blood pressures. We've learned how to sing praise to the Lord in another
tongue. We've met four times now to prepare as best we can to do mission. We've prayed. We've been touched
and lifted up by the Holy Spirit.
Community
You've supported us with prayer and personal letters. You've responded
with interest and enthusiasm. You've given generously with financial support. And suitcases! You've joined
us in service through special projects, from working on a prayer shawl, to shucking medicines, to collecting supplies, to
reading books for chicks and bees through Heifer International. Young and old, you've participated in this mission.
Thanks be to God!
Care
When Doctor Nancy first gave a short talk proposing this mission, she said:
"If you can count, you can come." As yet we do not know exactly how many Hondurans we will reach on this mission, but
we do have a clearer idea of what we are bringing along with us. Can you count? We've received two shipments of
free medicines thus far, with a third shipment of deeply discounted medicines on its way. Over 250,000 doses, for treating
parasites, high blood pressure, diabetes... nearly a half-ton of medicines and supplies by weight. We are also
bringing with us the spirit of care and concern and love shared by our community, in our service, responding to His call.
We are truly blessed!
