This past week was one of the most exciting weeks of my life!! We started revival Wednesday night through Sunday night. Thursday we worked on the church in "Las Uvas". We were also celebrating our 1 year anniversary as a church and Saturday I baptized seven new believers!!! It doesn't get much better than that! Here we are with our group of seven. They have been studying a basic doctrine class for six months. This was a very very special time. We found a beautiful spot along a small stream that even had huge waterfalls. The day was perfect and we had the river to ourselves. We could feel God's presence as they each gave their testimonies to God's saving grace and as we sang a few choruses. I just love baptisms. There is just something about them. There were close to 50 people that attended. We bused our people from "Las Uvas" so they could be part of the celebration too. Afterwards we ate rice, beans, chismol, and beef kabobs celebrating the bapstims and our church's anniversary!! What a very special day!! I'll never forget it.
We are working in Tegucigalpa, Honduras with Hope International Missions. Our primary efforts involve church planting and discipleship. God has blessed us with three small churches, one is located at our home in the neighborhood of Tiloarque. The other church is about 15 minutes from our home in a neighborhood called Las Uvas. The third church is about an hour and a half from our home in a village called Las Delicias.
I am a graduate of Penn View Bible Institute located in Central Pennsylvania. I graduated in 2004 from the institute while I was also youth pastor at the Beavertown God's Missionary Church. I was married to Hannah Jarasat in June 2004. After spending three years as youth pastor, Hannah and I joined Hope International Missions and arrived in Honduras in 2006. We are blessed with two boys, Joseph and Daniel.
