The Clinic is up and running

After building the soundproof room to do the hearing testing and setting up the Audiometer and Typanometer, we are fully equipped to test the hearing of all ages.

The day after we set up, without advertising, we had 7 people come for testing. We were wondering where they were coming from, until one gave us a letter from the local hospital. That is just the first day! One hospital and two ears, nose and throat doctors are referring all their patients with hearing problems to us. Isn't that exciting.

We all had a laugh yesterday when one mother brought her son in and the urologist sent her to us to test her sons hearing. THE UROLOGIST! O.K.! Well the child did need to have his hearing tested and he was deaf in one ear, however a hearing aid would greatly enhance his ability to have speech. But the urologist sent him to us. The point is that Doctors all over San Pedro are learning about our program and we are developing respect and professionalism within the community.

We a have also began contacting schools in order to test the hearing of the preschool children. This will allow us and them to catch any hearing problems early in the children's lives and use what ever means to correct the problem.

This is one more expansion of the Community Center for the Deaf in Honduras.

Please pray that we continue to follow God and his vision for the Deaf of Honduras.

Love and blessings,

Born Again and New Life

God has been developing a wonderful relationship with our family and the hearing church that we attend on Sunday Mornings. In the last 4 weeks I have preached there 2 times. This is also the church that is teaming with us in the first of June to do 5 children's crusades in various areas across Honduras. We are expecting to reach at least 2000 children in just a matter of a few days. Be in prayer with us about this.

However what I wanted to share is that 6 people asked Jesus in there lives the first time I preached there and a least two hundred came to the altar wanting more of God. I am just utterly amazed at the hunger and desire I see in the altar services. I pray that we all acquire this kind of hunger for God.

The second time I preached it was even a deeper move of God. All I knew was I had to join them in the altar. There were people praying for at least and hour after the message was given and the expression on peoples faces told the story. They were touch by God. I told them at the altar call that it was not meant for me to lay hands on anyone, but it was time for them to touch Him.

I truly believe they did and so did I...

Love you all,

Paul

The Inflow of Blessings

We you are walking in the favor of God you just can not help but experience His blessings.

This past week one of the local Universities came and talked with us about using us as place to for there students to do internships. Of course we said yes... We could use all the help we can get!! We really didn't know what all that implied, but since then we have 3 young people out of the business department to come. Their focus is to develop a strategic plan of furthering the reach of this ministry through out San Pedro and then beyond. If that is not awesome then comes in dental students to clean the children's teeth.

Another young man came and wants to do a documentary on Deafness in Honduras and our Deaf Community Center.

I don't know who will be the next to come in, but each person that comes offers a new skill and a new opportunity to get the word out about the Ministry and ultimately about Jesus!!

Thank you all for being interested in the Ministry and in us.

We love you and appreciate you all,

Paul

Belize, Please!

By law we have to leave Honduras every 90 days because we are not residents. We would like to be residents so that we would not have to leave so frequently, however it cost 1000.00 per person for a 5 year residency. I not sure if you recall, but I have 4 children and that would total 6000.00. I think at least for the first year we will try to find a few other avenues.

The first avenue was to go back to the States for a week and though we can occasionally find tickets on Spirit Air fairly cheap it is still 6 people. So we decided on the second avenue, go to Belize.

We had a wonderful time with the children. We took a two and half hour boat ride that was a little scary to say the least. I am not sure if we were actually in the water much... Have you ever been on a fairly small boat out in the ocean with 3 - 250 hp motors, I am pretty sure were full power the whole time?? Well praise to God we made it there safe.

We went to Placencia, Belize. It is a little peninsula below Belize City. It was remote, small, rustic, yet absolutely beautiful. We stayed in a little Cabin on the ocean, that I am pretty sure a hurricane has blown through a few times. You could see daylight through every board joined together, but off the porch just thirty feet away was the ocean. Although it was a little cooler weather than normal for this that time of the year, We enjoyed ourselves immensely. We found a little market and cooked all our meals in the cabin. The kids played in the sand during the morning hours, then in the afternoon we all played in the ocean, at night we played card games, connect four, take the cake and a few other games. Then we would pile up in bed and watch a movie on my computer. It was probably the best time we have had as a family in a long time. One because we had nothing else to do, but spend time with each other. Some things that seem disappointing are just blessings in disguise.

Blessing,

Paul

Birthday "Bash"

I have heard of having birthday bashes before, but I never thought it would be like this???

We have a monthly birthday party for all the workers that have birthdays in each particular month. Well this past month was guess who's, yeap! Mine. Everything was going great most of the day, I warded off a possible throwing in the pool episode. Then I warded off an attempt to dump a cake on my head. However the final thing I just didn't see coming!!! BASH!!! One after another 4 EGGS crashed on my head and began to immediately run down my face, shirt and pants. I was simply just trying to cut the cake and be thankful, but Nooooooo they had to go and Bash me.

Any way it was fun and we had a lot of laughs, but other Birthdays are soon to come and I don't get mad I just get even!!!

Just wanted to share the fun with you all,

Love ya, Paul
