WORDS FROM BOB...   On the move... The Honduras church is on the move! The first year I was a part of a mission trip was in 1981 and that mission trip just happened to be to Honduras. There were 3 churches of the Nazarene in Honduras at that time. Today there are 100 organized churches with 4 being organized in March of this year and another 21 mission churches that will likely be organized soon.

NEWS FLASH:

Sports is a new evangelism tool in Honduras!

Pastor Carlos in Puerto Cortes was praying for a church building that would also be a basketball court. Work & Witness teams were an answer to his prayers. A building was constructed and a team came and put on a Basketball Camp for 100 children in the community. The church/basketball facility is reaching the community for Christ! Pray for more adults to help with the basketball program. (pictures pending)

Pastor Cristian had a vision to use soccer as a means to reach the children and teens for Christ in his area in the city of Tegucigalpa were there are many gangs. With cooperation of other leaders in the community, soccer teams were formed. Over 1,400 children and teens are on teams where they play a game of soccer and then have devotions. Many lives are being saved from the gangs. Pray for finances to purchase land for their own soccer field so they will not have to rent facilities.

PRAISES:

Churches are answering God’s call and sending Work & Witness teams to answer the prayers of the Honduras churches for adequate facilities.

PROJECTS & OPPORTUNITIES:

Cerro Grande Churches' Exciting Missional Outreach

Pastor Ignatio of the Cerro Grande Church in Tegucigalpa shared a vision he and his people have of planting 20 churches in the state of Comayagua. They have 2 missionaries from their church that they want to send to show the Jesus Film, organize children's programs and plant a church in each major town in the state of Comayagua.

They are asking for some help from their brother & sisters in the U.S. They will provide the manpower to reach fellow Hondurans - they just need a little help from us!
