New Year's Day

Kitchen Hand towel update:  In the neighborhood we handed the towels out a few weeks ago a lot has happened.  The church was no longer able to meet in the home they were in, so the pastor set out to find a new place.  He came upon a lady whom he began talking with but she was a bit stand-of-ish until he mentioned the "kitchen hand towel" that she had receive a few weeks earlier.  At this, she smiled real big and agreed to open her home up for the new "church".  Two weeks ago our friends decided to visit the church and what they saw amazed them.  There were 20 adults and 18 children attending the service, all of whom received a "kitchen hand towel" a few weeks ago!  God really is using these towels for His purpose.  In the next couple months we have plans to go into 3 other towns to distribute them.  We can't wait to see what God will do.

New years day this year we were invited to partake of the feast they have in the village to bring in the new year.  It consists of smoked goat and enchiladas.  They also had a chicken for those not accustomed to eating goat.  It was a great day among friends and really enjoyed bringing in the new year learning more about a wonderful people.

Honduras

Aaron had an opportunity to visit an Agricultural Center in Copan Ruinas, Honduras. He visited a training center that trains extension agents to train local farmers how to implement soil conservation practices. The goal is to help farmers with the basic need of conserving their soil but also giving the extension agents and local pastors the opportunity to share stories from the Bible. Most everything he learned he will be able to teach farmers of indigenous villages orally (to those who do not know how to read). Please pray that he would effectively use these methods and train others to implement them. Also please pray that this training would lead to the planting of house churches among indigenous villages. Acts 2:46-47. Click on the link below to see pictures of this beautiful country. Enjoy!

Operation Shoebox

Posted as promised, are the photos taken at two locations of where Operation Shoeboxes were given.  First was in a village where the church we attend is planting a church.  The other location was the actual church.  They had enough boxes to give to each child at the church as well as those who were invited and a few from the neighborhood.  It was a wonderful opportunity to see the receiving end of these boxes and we are thankful we are able to share our pictures with you.  Only God knows if one of these boxes was donated by you and we thank you for that.  It truly put a smile on a child's face this Christmas season.  Enjoy the pics!
