Pray for Keydi Paola
Please pray for one of the Casa Hogar children, Keydi Paola. 
Ian sent this along today:
"She was admitted in to hospital today having trouble breathing. She is currently on a drip and looks weak, she also has a fever and cough.
Please pray for a swift recovery. She has a really good, supportive family, praise the Lord."
Keydi is 15 and was born with HIV. She has been recovering from a recent bout with pneumonia, and had lost a lot of weight. She was excited to return to school after her illness, so pray for encouragement for her during this difficult time.
You can read Keydi’s profile on the Casa Hogar Vida site.

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.”

Please Pray for Carla Cruz
Carla Cruz is a 30-year-old single mom with two sons. Carla is HIV positive and suffers from other health problems. Her ten-year-old son, Jorge, also has HIV, but her six-year-old, Brian, is not infected. Carla is pregnant and due to deliver twins by cesarean in March. The cesarean will give the newborns a better chance of not contracting HIV, but it will be rough on Carla. She is following a special diet to maintain her health, but there are definitely worries about her health and the health of the babies. Please be praying for Carla and her family during this difficult time.

Ortez Family: The Importance of the Support Groups
from The Casa Hogar Vida Team:
Friends here is a brief story of a family we are currently helping through the Casa Hogar Vida (CHV) program. For $33.00 per month you can help save children like these.
We met the family on the 22nd January 2009 through a Doctor at a clinic which helps those infected with the HIV virus. The doctor was/is extremely concerned about the health of the children who live in this family especially a 10 year old called Yasaira who is infected with HIV.

Choluteca Church Expansion
From Francisco, of Iglesia Gran Comisión:
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. Read more
Tyler in Honduras (2)
Tyler recently posted an update on Facebook. Here is his work schedule:
Mondays: Work with Casa Hogar Vida, the AIDS orphanage, doing anything from visiting houses to administrative work on the computer.
Tuesdays: Work in the malnutrition center and daycare in Limon.
Wednesdays and Thursdays: Teach in the school at the church. Teach Bible class, English, PE, music, and computers.
Fridays: Work in the malnutrition center and daycare in Limon.
A quote from his update:
"I love being apart of this community of people, they are so loving and funny. It’s a lot of fun. I also love that I’m getting to live like a Honduran. i walk to work at the school and I take a city bus (a lot different that Columbia’s bus transit) to Limon. Its a great experience."
Please continue to pray for Tyler, the work he’s doing in Choluteca, and the work God is doing in his life.
