What a joy it was to have Pastor Tom McLendon and his wife Janis with us for a week. They brought a wonderful team of hard working people with them and we kept them busy.
I want to thank Jack and Nancy Terry for allowing us to join with their ministry to the Mountain churches. Mission4Jesus is dedicated to helping the churches in the Mountains that often do not have the funds to build or even equip and pay its pastors. The Terry's have helped put clothes on many of the children and also have help build churches. They work with various groups to bring discipleship and much need training for pastors and leaders.
We spent a day with them in two different churches. In one location in the morning we had a womens seminar and neo-natal classes. Lisa and Linda, the nurses with the group, taught these classes and gave out materials to help train the mothers and expecting mothers. That evening we held services in Yure a fast growing church in the process of building a new sanctuary. It was standing room only with people standing in the doorways and windows just to be in the service. Pastor McLendon preached on the power of the name of Jesus. One lady was healed immediately and many lingered in the alters under the anointing.
We had an awesome time and truly enjoyed the Mountains. This will not be the last time we go to the Mountains, because we are on a Mission4Jesus.
Blessings, Paul

I was so thrilled to be part of this mission trip the first week of March. It was truly life changing. Paul and Kim Dyar, and their children are amazing - wonderful people of God that has a passion that radiates to others to carry out the message of Salvation through the precious blood of Jesus.
I had the opportunity to also meet a few other of the missionaries - Jack and Nancy, Candi and Wylie, Dr. Martin and Wendy. All with such love for the people of Honduras. All of these people along with our translators, Anna and Tiffany, gave a whole new depth to the scripture "Love thy neighbor as yourself". After being with the Dyars and the others my heart is overflowing!
What really touched me the most was the hunger the people of Honduras had for Jesus. They overcame such obstacles just to attend church services but yet they didn't let those obstacles stop them. The people in the mountains walked for hours in the rain and darknees to hear the word of God in a church without electricity or enough seats for everyone to sit- I have since searched my life for petty obstacles that sometimes keeps me from even reading my Bible - Again life changing!
All of the missionaries, along with the people of Honduras are in my prayers daily. Thank you for all you do! God Bless You all! I miss you all!
Love, Lisa Mitchell
