Getting into the Groove

We are now beginning our second year here in Honduras. Looking back to where we were a year ago encourages us that we have achieved many things, overcome many obstacles and by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, are empowered to remain victorious in this upcoming year. Our communication is improving, our understanding of culture is growing, and our acceptance into a foreign country is well underway. Our children are getting involved at their school, and feeling more comfortable with their surroundings. January has been full of activity. As we are trying to broaden our horizons and familiarize ourselves with the rest of the country beyond San Pedro Sula, we have been doing some traveling within Honduras. Paul has been attending several of the regional meetings across Honduras. In these meetings, Dr. Collins, the national overseer, is trying to promote fresh vision, bring unity, encourage, and support the pastors across Honduras. Many of these pastors work all day to support their families and devote their evenings to their churches. They are very dedicated men and women, but often with little or no resources. As project coordinator, Paul is trying to get to know these pastors and their needs, so he can better direct funds from the States to fill the most immediate needs. We have also been able to minister on several occasions in the East Territory. There are areas of Honduras that were once occupied by England resulting in English speaking areas within the country. Paul has been preaching at several of these churches and encouraging the people.
