The Point of Impact: Fun in the Park

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.

Fun in the Park

Easter Sunday had some great times then some gripe times. Here during Holy Week (the week before Easter) Many things shut down, all the schools were closed. The city seemed empty the whole week. For those of you who have been here I know that sounds crazy, but it was ghost town. I was not sure how many would show up for the Sunday morning service, because I had the leaders tell me that they would be out of town or with family that day. So the gripe time was when no one showed up for service, but the great time came that afternoon.

Angie from Hope House orphanage called to ask if she could bring the children over for an Easter egg hunt at the park in front of my house. We had 22 children in all hunting and it was a wonderful time. Cheryl and I helped Angie hide eggs, while Kim and Angie's assistants watched the children. I think we had as much fun hiding the eggs as the children did finding.

Then one age group at a time went to find the eggs. I think the older kids were getting into to it more than the little ones. I guess it was the "prize egg" that got there attention. After the happy hunting time, we had ice cream!!! All the energy that the Children just ran off was now restored! What fun! Jaden had ice cream from head to toe, he was so cute.

It was all great. In the end we spent some time with our children talking about the day and what it represented and then we worshiped a little while then had a wonderful family pray time.

God is good even when no one else is around.

Love you all,
Paul
