Cameron and Company

Cameron was such a blessing to the children of Nicaragua and Honduras. He played marbles, performed cartwheels, wrestled, played soccer and sprinkled lots of love.

It was so much fun to see him 'minister ' even at ten years old.

' Poppy ' preaches in the rain

' Poppy " persevered and delivered the Unchanging Word of God to the committed people of
Jicaro Bonito. He did not let the weather distract him. He plugged along and many seeds were sowed in the hearts of the people despite the weather.

Rusty dedicates a baby

A precious Mama requested that her little one be dedicated to The Lord Jesus Christ. What a blessing it was to see the dependency she had for the Lord. She realized she could not raise this child without His help.

Linda and her creatures

Linda has a love for animals. All kinds....dogs, cats, pigs, birds specifically chickens. She made certain God's creatures were taking care of. She fed the dogs cookies,the pigs crackers and the chicken water.

Thomas in Honduras

Thomas made new friends 2400 miles from home. What joy it was to see him ministering to the children. He did many different things... one of which was distributing hats to the children.

Thank you ,Thomas for being a blessing to us and the people of Honduras.

Day 9

Our week is coming to a close.

Today, Rusty, ' Poppy', and Mr. Bill ministered to the men of Somotillo one more time . This was the second meeting , the first of which was Friday Night. They fed the men each meeting and ministered to them individually. Men were encouraged to take their place as godly men. They were told explicitly how to be godly men and what steps they need to take to achieve it.

Thank you guys for sharing your heart and planting seeds in the hearts of the men of Somotillo.

Day 8- Mr. Bill's Girls

Hello,

What a joy it was to see Mr. Bill love on the his precious girls at "The Rose House". He and Lindsey brought special things for each of them and boy was it a treat ! They were so excited to get new pants, shirt, shoes, hair bows, and a special stuffed animal.

We were able to have some play time with them. We learned a new version of hide and seek. It was so much fun to see them laughing and hearing their precious little giggles.

Day 7- VBS

Hello,

What a blast we had today. We conducted VBS at the village of Torres. Myra and Scott did an outstanding job with nearly 75 little ones. They ministered with a Bible Story, puppets, bubbles, coloring sheets, cookies/kool-aid, and lots of LOVE.

Thank you Scott and Myra for your ever so willing heart. What blessing you are to the entire team.

Day 6- Pastor Lou's heart

Day 6 was a monumental day. We had the pastor's conference and My Oh My was it ever so moving !

God has given Pastor Lou a heart of encouraging, edifying and exhorting pastors... especially those of Nicaragua.
We had nearly 50 people to come from various villages. God really showed up. We fed the men and ladies spiritually as well as physically. It was really fun to serve them a hot meal with all the "fixins" and ministering to their souls was the icing on the cake.

The men and ladies left with an arm full. We were able to give them a shirt, pants, tie, Bibles and some even got shoes.

Thank you to all who gave men's clothing...it was truly a blessing.

day 5

These girls were able to lead little Jonathon to the cross. He accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
Praise Him !

DAY 4

Hello,

We made it to Somotillo safely, thank the Lord ! We are off and running. We departed the compound @ 7:00 for Los Placitos (three hour drive ). What an incredible time we had. We had a church service, played soccer (Nicaragua Style ) with the children and ministered through encourgement.

We then headed to Jicaro Bonito for a church service and served the people with food. We were able to bless the people with purchasing land for them to begin construction. They were so encourged ! Thank you Hamilition Crossroads Baptist Church.

Love you all,
Lisa

Day 3

Hello All,

We were in Maysa most of the day. Boy, did we have a time in the Lord. After the Lord ministered to the people of Maysa, we were ministered too through Pastor Salisaw. It was incredible ! Each of us were prayed for individually.

After lunch we tackled the three hour ride to Somotillo for ' real work'.

Thank you for praying...please continue !

Marty's New Eternal Friends

Praise The Lord, these men will be in heaven with Marty !!!! Awesome huh ?

Day 2

the ' serving crew '

Hello All,

What an incredible day we had. God is truly awesome. Honestly, we are unable to put into words how truly great and wonderful He really is. We started the day with our morning Bible Study led by Rosa in challenging us to let our lights

shine. She left us with a quote " I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light ".

We then headed to Maysa for men's and ladies meetings. What a glorious time we had. In the men's meeting we had six souls to be saved and one in the ladies meeting along with two ladies who wanted to rededicate their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mr. Bill, Rusty, " Poppy' and Marty covered alot of terriority in the service. The men were so attentative. They were absorbing God's Word like sponges. The men covered nearly every base from having "the favor of God" to " how to be a husband and daddy " to "having pride" and lastly were given instructions on "how to study God's Word ". Thank you men for your planting of seeds. I am sure the men felt your love and care for them.

After the service each men were served lunch and given their pants, shirt and sock package. Thank you again for giving these items. What a blessing it was to ' treat ' these men to a special, special time and to be able to love on them.

Thank you for your prayers...Sunday we are heading back to Maysa and then off to Somotillo.

Much love and blessings to you today.
