As many of you know, Steve is in Honduras this week. He left Dec. 27th. He is taking 37 people (high school, college, and adult) to a village called Pina Blanca. They are staying in another city, but they go to this village everyday to do Bible school, build houses, hand out food bags, and provide other needs which are evident. Yesterday the team handed out food bags and attended a church service "Honduran style." Steve reported that the children came running from the village when he got there yelling "Estabon" which is what they call Steve. Steve said it was the best feeling that they remember the group from the last trip. Steve said he did his best to tell the people of the village that he remembered them and that they are just as important to us as he is to them.
Today, Steve said they are taking on a new project that they hadn't expected. They are using $600 of the money raised for Honduras to work on a house that prepares food each day for missionaries. Steve and the team eat lunch at this place everyday. They also sent out a group of the team to build a on a house in La Colonial. Then another group will go to do a bible school with the children in la colonial, and the last group will pass out food bags in another village nearby.
He also stated that the old school of the village has been torn down and they have since built a bigger nicer school for the children of the village. These children get to attend school for free until 6th grade, then they have to pay $30 a month to attend school in the upper grades. Steve is able to visit with Sindi, a girl whom he met during his last trip to Honduras. She just started 7th grade and has to pay for school now. We are so honored that we are able to pay for her schooling this year.
Steve asks that you, "Please continue to pray for our health, and the spiritual needs we have and are attempting to meet this week."
