Part one of the "Big Move"

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Sorry it has taken a few weeks to update the blog. We have been on the go, as you could imagine. We have been to both Family Christmas' and I appreciate our families understanding that gifts are not what the season is about. We really enjoyed our time with family and are very thankful for their support of the ministry.

Here is a few Facts that we have learned over the past couple of weeks.

Fact #1 It takes a lot longer to load the truck than it does to unload. We rented the U-Haul on the morning of Dec. 19th and spent the rest of the day and the next morning loading. On the 20th we left about noon, arrived about 4:30, and had the truck unloaded by 5:30. Thanks to some great help by Jack and Ernie.

Fact #2 Air mattresses are not bad ways to sleep. The family will be sleeping on air mattresses for a few weeks in the States and for a few weeks in Honduras. So Kim and I camped out "in the house" one night to try it out. Either we were so tired that we didn't notice or the Air mattress is going to work out just fine.

Fact #3 Suit cases hold a lot more than one can imagine. Either that, or Kim just knows how to stuff them just right. Of course, it helps to have 10 enormous suit cases and five carry ons that are not so small themselves. My wonder is how are we going to carry all the luggage to the airport and the little ones, at the same time. Pray for favor and a good cart in the airport.

Fact #4 Stuff just doesn't seem to be enticing anymore. I have hauled off 3 loads to the dump and one load to the Salvation Army and a load to the Crisis Pregnancy Center not including what Karyn and Ernie and others have taken with them.

Fact #5 Houses are so much cleaner with out anything in them. No toys scattered around, no game consoles or controllers, no furniture out of place, nothing but a few suit cases and a few clothes.

One sure learns to appreciate the simple things in life.

Brotherly Love

It was great to be with my brother Dale and his family in Savannah, GA. If I have regrets it is that I do not get to talk to him very often. However, the time spent was truly refreshing!

Thanks Dale for following the Lord and being a great example for a younger brother.

While I was there, Dale shared with me the vision of the church. To hear the vision and see its fulfillment was awesome! Dale took me to see the land that has been purchased for their new Church and he also showed me the plans for the new facility. It is going to be beautiful! I hope it is going to be big enough because I am believing for a break through harvest.

I admire Coastal for following God's vision since transition is always hard. But new beginnings, like new births, always have a time of travail.

My prayer is that every chain of limitation be destroyed and that every window of opportunity be turned into an over flowing door of God's blessings. I am looking forward to see what advancements are made over the next few years and also hope to be able to minister with you again. Thank you for your support and for your continual prayer.

Partnering with you for the advancement of the Kingdom,
Paul Dyar

Momentum Weekend

Thank you Embassy Christian Center for a wonderful weekend! All three services were a true blessing and I pray that it was a F.O.C.U.S. time for you as it was for me.

F - finding, O - owning, C - covenanting, U- understanding, S - serving.

Pastor Todd, I sure appreciate you and Steve for your "kind" words of encouragement and your friendship. Your investment in the kingdom work that God has given us to do is greatly appreciated.

Embassy is a wonderful church that has a lot passion for Christ. Your youth ministry has inspired me on several occasions. I just love seeing the youth at the Haven come back exhilarated by your events. I pray that you all will consider making a trip to Honduras and making us a priority on your future missions endeavors.

It has been a pleasure serving as an adjunct (add junk) professor and partner in ministry with all of the Embassy family and Ambassador College.

Love you all and may you continue to walk in the favor of God,
Paul Dyar

Ps. Thank you Sam Wilson for a father's blessing!

Close to the Goal

We are very close to meeting our targeted budget goal. It is hard to realize the amount of funds it takes to move out of the country. Some expenses include; the insurances that you have to maintain, the price of plane tickets for 6, the cost of living in the city of San Pedro Sula, and transportation cost, considering gas is more expensive there than here. You can just imagine the funds we have to raise.

However, our goal of $10,000 in cash before we go is close. We have already purchased our tickets and we'll be flying out on January 15th. Subtracting the amount for the tickets we still have half our goal met. We are only $1,200 a month away from reaching our goal of monthly support. Praise the Lord!

If you would, please keep us in prayers and join us by faith so we may see the Hand of God move in Honduras.

If you would like to help us meet these goals, it would be greatly appreciated! All you have to do is follow the directions on this Blog page.

Home at "The Haven"

Praise God! This past Sunday was glorious. I truly needed a refreshing and the wind of the Spirit blew in both services. Some reported healing while others got refreshed. Thank God! I know that The Haven is facing a lot of bewilderment in the transition, however, you could not tell it this past Sunday.

Monday, I went to the church and walked in the door and immediately tears started streaming down my face. Some have asked "are you having a hard time going?" and it is not that at all. I am having a hard time leaving. I know God has called us to Honduras, with no doubts, but The Haven has become our home and we have poured our lives into some wonderful people, and leaving that, is the hard part.

Thank you to The Haven for loving us, supporting us, and keeping us in your prayers. We look forward to keeping in touch and sharing with you what God is doing in Honduras.
