We are excited to share with everyone that the new school is starting the first of February. Cheryl is in the USA finalizing our teacher certification with the educational department at Lee University. Next, we have a final teachers training seminar for one week, then we start classes!!
We have several students already committed and we have made several fliers and posters. The influx will be great and we are preparing for it.
The Deaf Center has been getting an internal face lift. Fabiola and Rosa two of our deaf teachers have been painting and making educational signs for all the classrooms. They are so creative, with ABC's and 123's in sign language and lettering. The story of Christ in picture form is posted just inside the entrance. This is going to be awesome!
Along with the children's part of the new school, we have a new adult program that will be starting as well. The adult deaf want to have an education as well. So we are starting two types of programs. One is a reading program, which Dr. Stone at Lee University has looked over and given approval and the other is a full educational program using the Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) program also known as paces. We have talked with the representative for A.C.E. in Central America, Drew Williams, who is a Missionary from Mt. Paran Church in Atlanta. It is amazing how God connects people. He is helping us with the material and mentoring us on the best uses.
The Bible studies had ceased for a few months due to various reasons, one being Curt's sickness. However, this Sunday I will be starting them up again. We have made applications for those who desire to be leaders and will be starting fresh with them. Cheryl and Digna, the secretary, has been working on policy manuals while Kim is working on budgets. All of us want to build a more consistent Ministry that is more effective in the long run.
Unless the foundation is stable, the building will always be unstable. So we are building stability one day at a time. This is not a fast process, and we have learned from our mistakes, that if you want it done then you can rush and get it done, however if you want it done right it takes time and effort. We are here to invest our time into building God's Kingdom, to share God's love and teach His word.
Keep us in your prayer and please say a special prayer for Curt. He was critical earlier this week and his body almost shut down, but in the middle of the night, through much prayer, everything started working again and he said that he feels like he is on the road to recovery. Would you join us in a special prayer of agreement for him for his complete recovery? God healed him once before of leukemia and we are believing for this again.
Serving the King with you,
Paul & Kim and Family
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.
