Honduras: Day 5 in Pictures

Thursday was GREAT! I am an extremely proud member of this group. Blogs and pictures don't capture everything that has happened but we will try.

Today we went to an elementary school to sing, give testimonies and love. In the process we were able to meet many new children that have stolen our hearts. This is also the place where we delivered the basketball goals! THANK YOU VBS CHILDREN!!! Oddly enough, this school has a basketball team and the director has been praying for goals for 3 years. We presented the goals in a Buckner celebration (tell you more in a second) and then built them on site. The kids were THRILLED!

Buckner has Community Transformation Centers (CTC) in communities dealing with extreme poverty. Today they celebrated the 1 year anniversary of the center. We were glad to join in the festivities! :) Many volunteers were recognized so we lavished them with praise. In addition several families received shoes and clothing (we presented it to the families).

Dr. Jack Grainger has been able to see hundreds of patients at the CTC and most children at the orphanage. Medical missions is truly a wonderful thing. MANY doors have been opened because we have a doctor with us. Dr. Grainger, CJ and Morgan (his grandkids) will be traveling tomorrow to visit their Compassion International child who lives in Honduras (another great organization). Please pray for safe travels (approx. 2 hour drive).

Several of our group went shopping for the most severe needs at the orphanage...food and diapers. JVBC & Buckner spent $1,500 on food, diapers and bibles. I am starring at 10 bags of rice, 4 bags of beans, 2 bags of flour and 3 cases of eggs in my room right now BUT there are two other rooms full of items! Tomorrow is going to be a great day of distribution.

Our prayer is the God will be glorified and Buckner's ministry in Tegucigalpa will continue to gain validity in orphanages, schools and communities. The Good News will spread as Buckner's ministry increases.

Thanks for praying...great things are happening in lives!

Peace to you,

Scott
