This group from Missouri and Arkansas worked for a week clearing the lot and starting to dig footings for the new building.

Tim Bassing from Black Oak, Arkansas preached a series of lessons to the congregation in June 2009 to spur growth. At the same time, a team from Mt. Vernon, MO and Cave Springs, Arkansas started clearing the land owned by the church in preparation for a new building. Tim is shown preaching with Freddy Paraza translating.

The Ocotepeque congregation met in this garage for about 10 years. They could not grow because they did not have space to grow into.

In just 5 weeks our team heads for La Palma for the medical mission. Please be praying for this trip to be safe and successful, and that God will get the glory for many good things.

This Toyota truck hauled a BUNCH of us a couple miles up a very bumpy road on the way back from Chuntrun. It was uncomfortable but much better than walking/climbing up that hill.

No regular blogs for a day or two while we spend time with family. Please pray for the people in the La Palma region. They have much less than we do as far as possessions go, but they are often rich in love and joy.

One of the boys from Chuntrun who received new shoes! The 33 children who live there now know that someone cares about them. God bless those who contributed.

One of the boys from Chuntrun who received new shoes through your donations! Will post more photos soon. The 33 children now know that someone cares about them even though they live where they do! God bless those who contributed.
