COLUMBIA — Students at the University of Missouri are finishing up class work this week and packing up for a week long spring break.
While most may spend the week sleeping, working or vacationing, one group of students will be serving others. Members of The Rock Church hope a 10-day mission trip to Honduras will shape their future for years to come. Read more
Hola from Honduras
We’ve been doing a good mix of hard work and playing with kids. One puppet show so far. We’ve spent a lot of time with the Ortez family (the super poor family with 12 people living in a shack). The kids have really warmed up to us, and we were able to help construct a pila (water reservoir) and a shower area so that they can treat the children’s skin problems and hopefully prevent it from coming back. The team is AMAZING. Everybody has really gelled, and are working hard. It’s breakfast time, and there are pancakes, so I should get going.
Prayer Requests While We Are in Honduras
We will be in Honduras from March 20 to March 29.
What you can pray for while we are there:
- Health & safety of team members (especially in regards to the heat)
- Humility and flexibility for our team members
- We will make the most of every opportunity we are presented with
- Our team will demonstrate brotherly love toward each other and our hosts
- We will build a foundation for future work
- Seeds of faith will be planted, some will be watered, and others harvested
- We will be an encouragement to our brothers at the Choluteca church, and that we will receive encouragement from them as well
Beautiful Bus

Verse for Today
I get a daily verse from BibleGateway.com, and I thought the one I received yesterday was very fitting for our trip.
Romans 15:13
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Perspective
I recently read this story on the wall at Jimmy John’s (while having a delicious sandwich with my mom). And although it was a bit cheesy (the story, not the sandwich), it really kind of made me stop and say "hmm." Read more

Give us a sweet life-altering week
