Big Training in Tegucigalpa: 25 Denominations present

WME just finished its 3rd major training event for 2013.  This time the Honduras Church Planting Movement team was in Tegucigalpa.  The event took place in the mountains surrounding the capital city of Honduras at a beautiful location called Camp Shalom.  Camp Shalom is a wonderful Christian Campground that is run by the Mennonite Church.  The event was Hosted by Honduras Ministries and its Founders Jim and Frances Martin.  Jim has been a personal friend of mine for over 10 years, since I served as his pastor in Kentucky.  Honduras Ministries is doing a wonderful job of ministering to critical needs in Honduras.  The ministry aids the indigeneous church, works in feeding programs, provides school supplies for children, and now runs a school in southern Honduras.  The church that Jim and Frances are a part of is called Filadelphia Church.  The precious people from Filadelphia Church provided logistical support for this event, working beyond the call of duty to make this training event
