Praise God!! We had 32 people show up for our first day of teachers training, not including the instructors themselves. We only called half the list of churches to request volunteers for the Community Center for the Deaf and we had a great response. This is all great and the training is going wonderful, but what I wanted to share with you why we do what we do.
This afternoon, a lady brought her 8 or 9 year old deaf daughter to the Center. She had seen one of our fliers that we had handed out and it gave her hope for her daughter. The little girl's clothes were to small and sadly she was ashamed. Her name was Carolina, she did not know any sign language, but she knew what a hug meant. We grabbed her hand and showed her around. Then Fabiola and Rosa, who are deaf, took her to a few of the teaching centers that we have set up in the building and began immediately showing her the ABC's and 123's and they also gave her a sign name. The smile on her face said it all.
She is just one of three new students this week and we haven't even started classes yet. We open February the 11th.
Our new sign, which is being painted on the wall outside is developing interest as well.
Keep us in your prayers, God is awesome and we are so honored to serve Him.
Continue to walk in His blessing,
Paul
Welcome to The Point of Impact
We are Paul and Kim Dyar and we are called to Missions in Honduras. Our mission is to connect ministry passion with real ministry need. The need is never ending, however laborers are few. We are working as the assistant to the national overseer of the Church of God, which embodies 1130 churches, 10 clinics, 1 orphanage, numerous feeding programs and has the largest social ministry of any denomination in Honduras. The social ministry includes the Deaf Comunity Center and caring for pastors and their children.
Kim and I have dedicated our time to making sure that ministry is accountable and connected. As the Projects Coordinator for Honduras, churches can know when they send funds through the World Missions and National office of Honduras that it makes the full impact and progress that is anticipated.
We are also engaged in consistent dialogue with the national overseer for better ways of leadership training and connectivity with local missionaries for greater effectiveness.
We have been in ministry, as a team, for 13 years and the last 5 years we have been pastoring The Haven in Maryville, Tennessee, which has been a tremendous joy. The Lord has given us 4 beautiful children who are becoming our ministry team. They are very eager to learn and they love to help others.
Our goal is to bring others to the point of impact. The Point of Impact is where Christ enters the heart of mankind and Jesus becomes the difference maker. We are only branches connected to the True Vine, Jesus. As we advance the Kingdom, we expect God to move in miraculous ways.
