I'm sure most of you have heard about the political crisis in Honduras. I wanted to post a quick update to let you know that we are doing well and are having a great week of ministry. We have two mission teams in Honduras this week. John Sessions is leading a team in Santa Fe, El Paraiso (on the border of Nicaragua) and Amy and I are leading a team to Guinope (a rural village about 1.5 hours east of the capital). Every thing is calm and tranquil here in rural Honduras. People here are talking about it, the Christians are praying and we're certain that other Christians all over the world are praying for the situation.
We have been in touch with our friends in Tegucigalpa daily and they say things are relatively calm there too. As you know, the news reports focus on the sensational and the small pockets of protest are what is getting the most coverage. The rumor mill is also alive and well too so don't believe everything you hear. The truth is, it's not as bad right now as the news is making it out to be. People are still flying into Honduras and the country is operating as normal as possible.
This is a volitile situation because Hugo Chavez is a friend of "former" president Zelaya. With that in mind, please be in prayer for the Christian missionary teams all over Honduras and for those scheduled to come. We have almost 40 North Americans here in Honduras this week and another 10 scheduled to arrive on Friday. We know God is in control and we are trusting Him in this situation.

We are so glad to hear that you all are well - as you can expect, the news media is not giving much coverage in the USA, so your update is welcome. We will continue to pray daily for your safety & ministry. Please send special hugs to Madison & Daniel (whether or not he thinks he's too big) & tell them we miss them in the Lighthouse. Love you guys! |
