Honduras Update
On July 23, the Honduran church planting team began to deploy into the villages of Western Honduras. Here is a report on progress in the first month and a half.
Within days, by entering the villages 2 by 2 and with a view to help communities, the team made numerous contacts of friendship. Looking for men and women of peace, that is people who would have an open heart to form a relationship of friendship, the team quickly established relationships with 22 different individuals or families. Within the first couple of weeks, 5 inductive Bible studies were held in homes.
The teams engaged in a number of community building work including:
Entering villages as vendors...selling a variety of goods.
Giving children's vitamins to needy village children.
Assessing a community's need for water and if needed offering well drilling.
Through these kinds of access ministries, relationships have been built with a number of people in 5 states.
Between July 23 and August 31 the team:
1. Conducted approximately 75 inductive Bible studies with village families
2. Drilled 1 well, attempted another that was hindered by hard rock, and began another.
3. Travelled approximately 30,000 Kilometers as a team.
4. Made numerous contacts that will probably result in Bible studies.
Progress has not been without hardship. Randy, our stategy coordinator, suffered a dog bite from a rabid dog in one of the villages and has been taking shots for this. Several of the team members have had small wrecks on the motorcycles. But God is faithfully moving.
So the project is launched. Stay tuned for updates as the work goes forward.
