These ladies were among dozens who were given reading glasses.  They appreciated being able to read their Bibles again!

Our team prepares to leave the prison after a morning session.  Our med people treated almost 40, Melvin distributed reading glasses and New Testaments, and there were multiple Bible studies conducted.

113 attended the first worship in Santa Anita last night.  La Antigua and Ocotepeque churches supported the event.

This building will become the Santa Anita church meeting place.  There is another room, not shown, for the children's classes to meet in.  The first worship will be Tuesday night, August 27.  They will be joined by people from Ocotepeque and La Antigua.

This group of 12 helped clean up a building that will become the Santa Anita church building.  They live in Santa Anita and will be meeting with the groups that go there to begin worshipping.

Our team did a great job for this trip.  We are now back home and getting involved in our lives again, but we have many memories of great things that happened in the Kingdom while we were there.

We have had a great and successful week!  Our team nurse and her helpers has been a wonderful nurse to many patients.  Melvin provided reading glasses to over 50 people and gave New Testaments to even more.  Mark preached some great sermons.  Everyone helped in every way possible.

Two ladies in La Antigua were baptized today, Wednesday.  The Kingdom is expanding in this region.

A building has been designated for the new congregation in Santa Anita, and many people there have said they would attend the worship services when they begin next week.

We are now in La Palma to visit the Christian school tomorrow and worship with the La Palma congregation.  We will also rest up a bit and then start the journey home on Friday.

God has blessed us greatly and we pray that we have been a blessing to others.

Our transportation this week has been the back of a Nissan truck.  Don't tell Della because we don't want her  to worry about the safety of her daughter and granddaughters!

These boys proudly display their new Tshirts.

These little girls were happy to receive 'pillow case' dresses from our team!

Santa Anita is about 5-6 miles north of Ocotepeque, Honduras.  There are a few Christians there who want us to plant a congregation there.  We did a small medical campaign there in January and will do another one next week.

About 25 people are interested in having a church there.  A house has been made available and a worship is planned for August 27.

Please pray for this new work to be successful.

An update:  there have been 3 baptized in August.

Evangelism is going well in Santa Anita--many families visited and we will be there next week to encourage and treat any family members who may be ill.

The Ocotepeque church had 14 baptisms in July and has had one already in August.

A group of nine of us will travel to Ocotepeque on August 17 to work with the church and the people there.  We will be doing some medical work and lots of encouraging to the church people as well as meeting with local health officials to help them.
