On February 28, 2009 we treated 60 girls from Armenia Bonito to a special day. During the first half of the day we went down to the river cleaned them up. Hair washing, brushing and cutting. We removed lice, painted fingernails and gave out beauty supplies donated from friends back in the U.S.
During the second half of the day we took them out for a movie night. We rented a bus and drove the girls to downtown La Ceiba. We reserved a large auditorium and served pizza, popcorn and drinks. We prayed and delivered a Bible study from the book of Ruth.
This was a rare treat for these girls. Take a look at this 3 minute and 45 second video to see the joy:

Orphans, Church, Burgers And Soccer
There is a boy’s orphanage in Armenia Bonito called Niños de la Luz (Children of the Light). We periodically do work with the boys who live there. Yesterday we spent a full day out with 21 of the boys from the orphanage.
In the morning we went to church with them. In the afternoon we invited them over and hosted a bar-b-q for them. We cooked hamburgers and hot dogs for entire group. And, in the evening we attended a professional soccer game. This was a great day of worship, fellowship and fun with these boys. It was fun to treat these boys to such a fun day.

Our House Is More Then A Home
Many people have recently asked about our house. It the hub of much of our ministry work. We host several meetings and Bible studies in our house each week. Our teammate Jamie lives in our house with us. This summer we will receive 10 short-term mission teams. In order to keep the cost down for those teams they will be sleeping in our house.
We rent the house for only $600/month. It is conveniently located in the center of La Ceiba.

Renovations To The Town Hall
The one room Town Hall building in the center of Armenia Bonito is where many of our ministry activities take place. Less then a year ago it was a run down building where dogs slept, transvestite prostitutes worked, kids used drugs and drunks relieved themselves. It was cleaned up shortly after we arrived, but it still didn’t have lights, running water or toilets.
Thanks to the grace of God and the generosity of one of our supporters the building just got a face-lift. We were able to renovate the building substantially. Now we have so many more options for our ministry and the community has a meeting place it can be proud of.

At this free clinic we checked everyone’s blood sugar, blood pressure, protein levels and extremity sensitivity. We provided health and food education and established obtainable goals for each patient. Each person received personal prayer and evangelism tracts.
A diabetes doctor from the U.S. lent us her services for the day and provided us with a load of free medications. We are grateful for her willingness to serve.
