This morning I was feeling a little down, today was primary elections and a lot of our people were missing from church. But nevertheless God came and helped us in the service. I preached about Elijah and the prophets of Baal. During the altar call Xumara and another lady came forward to pray. Her husband Jose had accepted Christ back in August. He has been praying for her ever since. He was so happy to see her come forward and ask Christ into her heart. Pray for this couple and their family. God has really been helping them. It turned out to be a pretty exciting Sunday.

Our church is ready for Christmas. Sandra came and decorated the sancturary with some of her decorations that she wasn't going to use this year. It really helped to set the tone for the season.

Joseph loved playing at the beach. He wasn't real sure about getting buried in the sand, I think he was a little clastrophobic.
















Two wonderful sister-in-laws












We got to meet up with Steve Mowery. Our missions director from back in the college days!













We enjoyed spending time with P.D. and Sherri Wolf. Thanks guys for a wonderful meal and time of fellowship. It was great!

It's good to be back in Tegucigalpa. It was a long day of travel but we finally made it home. When we walked in the door, our Christmas tree was up and decorated and a big banner said welcome home! Last night the church people made a big welcome home meal. It was so nice. There is no place like home!

What a nice surprise to see my uncle Gerald and aunt Sarah. They made a three and a half hour trip from Summerfield to pay us a visit. We had a good time catching up on all the news. Thanks so much for coming down!!

It has been so nice to be with Hannah's family for these few days. We celebrated an early Thanksgiving meal at Crackerbarrel and it was soooo good. We got to see Eathan for the first time. He is growing so fast and is just as cute as a button. We have had a great time.

I'm just now catching up on our pastor's retreat. It was the first time ever to get all our pastor's in Central America together at the same time. Only two of our pastor's didn't make it.
Each morning we started with a time of prayer and then had a morning and afternoon session with an evening service. Our theme was the "Good Shepherd" . God helped us each day. Our pastors went home refreshed and challenged to do more for the Lord.
The day before we left we went to a restaurant for a banquet and enjoyed the typical rice, beans and chicken. It was very good.
It was nice to see some fellow missionaries from Mexico. We had a nice time of fellowship. We look forward to making this an annual event.

Thursday and Friday of this week we were privileged to have the Steve Delong family pay us a visit. They are missionaries in San Pedro Sula with I.C.H.A. They had to make a trip to Tegucigalpa and was able to stop in for awhile. On Friday we took the kids to an education center where they got to enjoy a lot of hands-on learning. Hannah, is close to Joseph's age so he really had fun playing with her. Hopefully they will come and see us again soon!

This is a special call to prayer and fasting in behalf of the upcoming elections. We desperately need God to do a miracle and guide peoples hearts and hands as they go to vote next Tuesday. The stakes are high and as Christians we need to be salt and light in these dark days. Let's rally the troops, let's pray and fast that the powers of darkness will be broken!! The need is urgent! Help us this Wednesday, October 29 to fast and pray! read more

One of the ladies in our church recently approached us with a new idea. She is in the process of building a house in a more rural area on the outskirts of the city. Where she is building there are no churches and the workers that are helping her and their families have no where to attend services. She wanted to know if we would be willing to hold services on her plot of land and invite her workers and people living nearby for services. We jumped at the opportunity! Saturday we held our first service. We hauled chairs, guitars, sound equipment and food. I was so excited. There were more than 50 people that showed up! God really helped us. After the service several mentioned that they were interested in having services every week. Help us pray about this! It's a great responsibility. If we continue like this we will certainly have to build at least a roof to meet under in case it rains. I don't know what the future holds but God has some great things in store. Keep praying and fasting. We need God's guidance with this new open door. We would love to establish another church and in an area like this it is the perfect place.

They have an interesting custom here in the churches, they sometimes hold all night services. This was something new for me, but I thought we would give it a try. It was actually a lot of fun. We started at 9:00 pm and went until about 2:00 am. Everybody brings a little something to eat during the break. In the service we had Bible trivia, sang lots of choruses and discussed end time events and the modern church. It was a lot of fun!

The other day Joseph was found guilty of trying to plug the exhaust pipe with rose petals. All the evidence pointed to him!! What a mess.

Here are some pics from Sunday morning. We have been averaging in the mid twenties. The lady in the front to the right came forward to be saved, she just recently started attending.

I have been very encouraged with the work lately. We have strongly sensed God's help and presence in our services and we have had a good group of seekers at the altar recently. We also started Bible studies with new converts who are planning to get baptized. God is definitely helping us and we thank Him and you for your prayers. If things continue as they are we will soon have to think about building or finding a bigger place. Only God knows what the future holds!

We have had a lot of rain lately. There are some areas of Honduras in a state of emergency. Though the rain has done lots of damage it has helped our roses to grow. Joseph likes to pick one once in a while and give it to Hannah. They sure are pretty.

Just wanted to request prayer for two gentlemen who attend our church. Adam (top) and Luis. They really want to serve God and do what is right but they are facing some real struggles. I won't go into all the details but please just say a special prayer for them that they will determine to do what God wants for them in their lives. Pray that the chains of sin will be broken. They are great guys and God has a special plan.

We have completed our duty as citizens and cast our votes for the next president of the United States, John McCain. We urge all of our fellow Americans to do the same November 4th. Get out the vote and do your part! I believe we also need to pray and fast in behalf of this election that God's will is done.
