January 22 - Here's a peek at our day today. Devotions in Centro, giving clothes and shoes to the poor in the brickyard, lunch, painting with the kids, setting up fishing poles, playing Spanish bingo and 'bozo boxes'.
January 21 - Tuesday Lisa led devotions and we visited we were able to give the children the gifts from their sponsors and play at the Hogar most of the day. We served them sandwiches, fruit,chips, pop, and cookies (which they loved) for lunch. Corn is growing good and they are also growing beans. Mango trees are blooming and Arvil expects a bumper crop.
Wednesday we had devotions at a park in Comayagua and Linda talked about who we are in God. Then we visited the home for the mentally ill - they give lots of hugs! We then headed to the Hogar Amor school and painted 2 classrooms that desperately needed it. Some painted, some played with the kids. Went shopping for the school supplies for the year and also got their uniforms. After dinner we went to watch the boys at the farm play soccer...Joel served as goalie!
DeJagers led devotions on how big eternity is and how small our time on this earth really is so make it about bringing others into His kingdom.

"Great day today - painted 2 rooms at the school, played with the kids and made them lunch, got all the school supplies and uniforms the children need for the year, and got to pile 9 of us in the back of a pickup and ride Honduran style back to the hotel. Awesome weather...wonderful team...God-sightings everyday!" ---Jan
January 20 - Please keep the group who is serving at the orphanage in Honduras this week in your prayers. Here is a recent update from the team:
“We had a good trip down on Saturday. On Sunday, we went to Spanish church and spent time playing with the girls at Hogar Nazareth orphanage and the boys at the Granja orphanage. Today Jennifer led devotions on Trust & Obey at Centro in the morning and then we visited Buen Pastor (home of the young moms and babies). The time there was priceless. We spent the rest of the day with the kids at Hogar Amor - who were so excited to see us -playing soccer, making bracelets, and enjoying the kids. They are working on the roof - the damage was bad. Jan led evening devotions on the Feeding of the 5000 and how we need to be distributors for God not manufacturers for Him. Please continue to pray for our team and for the children in the orphanages.”
