The mission group I am with has been here five days. We arrived last Thursday and attended mid-week Bible study at Los Pinos that evening. The building was comfortably filled. Friday and Saturday were work days at the church building, including lots of fix-up, clean-up, repainting metal windows and doors and also repainting the structure that supports the roof. With a long day of work on Saturday, the new roof was completely installed and ready for Sunday.
On Sunday the Los Pinos church members, 100-125 children, another US mission group of about 100, and our small group added together to an attendance of somewhere near 300+! It was a special day for the church, memorable. The church building was overflowing and there were people standing outside and listening through the windows. The church hopes to eventually add more space by building upward with second stories for classrooms and activities.
Yesterday, the group, assisted by several members from Los Pinos, constructed a house in 5-6 hours. It was an exciting project, concluded by a special prayer for the family (husband, wife, and children) who will live in the house. Today will include multiple campus work projects as we spend our final work day in Honduras. Tomorrow we visit two children’s homes, and Thursday is the day of our departure.
We ask your continued prayers for the work we are doing, and especially for the Los Pinos church.
