A US college student designed a type of cheap, hard working, efficient, utility vehicle that could be used for heavy tasks in places of community service such as Casa Hogar. These vehicle is made in Honduras. Now we are using it to move rocks, materials, re-bar, blocks, cement, trash, posts, anything. Read more.

El Palomar is a community in Choluteca, where the church started to work with different mission teams that came during this past January.

The teams went to visit different houses, wherever the Lord was prompting our hearts to share with the families His message, and with some of them the assurance of a heavenly home awaiting for us and for them as well once they received Christ as their Lord and Saviour.After talking to them we gave a small gift, to symbolize that salvation is a free gift we wanted to share something totally free to bless their lives.

The second group of missionaries that went with us to this community is from Missouri (The Rock), so as we were talking with the people some of them made the most important decision of their lives, They accepted the free gift of Salvation as they let Jesus dwell in their hearts forever.

We had shoes to give away but we did not have bibles, and this had burdened the members of the team, and I know for sure that they keep thinking about it, praying about it.  But because God’s plan is so perfect we received a donation of New Testaments and with members of the college group of the church, yesterday we went back to El Palomar.

It took us like one hour and 45 minutes to visit just three families: Nelson and Teresa a married couple that received Christ as we were visiting them with the Mizzou team (Ed, Mat, Shelby and I), Mayra and her children: Francis, Gregorio and Cindy.

And in the third house we were looking for Maria a single mother of three children: Angel (1), Gustavo(4) and Armando(10).  She wasn’t at home but her ex-partner was taking care of the little boy Angel.

The name of the guy is Orlin and we talked to Him, but despite our efforts he did not want to pray to receive Christ. He allowed us to pray for his family and his life, we gave another new testament to him, and our prayer request is that he can find out, how much God loves him.

We are planning to be back there again to reaffirm the truth that has been sown in their lives, definitely it is amazing to see how the veil fades away from their faces, when the Holy Spirit dwells in their souls, minds and hearts. Thanks for your prayer

Found another family in the community: the Ortez’s family.  We went to visit them today and it was heartbreaking.  The lack of water, education and help, skin diseases in the children, even worse than the city dump. 

God is taking us to these families, to share with them the love of Jesus and let them know that God cares and loves them so much.  So we ask for your prayers to reach the hearts of this family with the good news of Christ.

As a church we are so thankful with your support and prayers, God Bless You.

One week ago we started with the expansion of the auditorium. We ask you to pray to God, that He will provide all the resources (materials, workers, and involment of the church members).

We reached maximum capacity last saturday, we had a record attendance of 375 people.  It is a record because our maximum attendance was 350 people.

The expansion will allow us to have 600 people in a church service, so brothers and sisters we need your prayers.

Tyler first went to Choluteca on the Spring Break trip in March 2007.  After 3 short-term trips there, he decided he needed to stay longer, and began the process of raising support for a 6-month trip.  He’ll be staying with Pastor Geovanny, and working with the Casa Hogar Vida project, among other things.  He’s started a video blog on his Facebook page, so if you haven’t friended him yet, you might want to.

Be praying for Tyler as he adjusts to life in Choluteca and as he seeks out how God wants him to use this time.

They have asked us to pray that God will provide them the means to be able to expand the auditorium where they meet as a church.  They need to accommodate more people since they are already very limited on space.
