On Sunday June 3 our team worshiped with the Ocotepeque congregation, which has grown from about 12 members in '05 to about 70 now. They are a loving bunch of people and the huggingest bunch of people! The children were upstairs in class, and there were over 30.

After our work at the prison, we had a photo taken of our group with the chief of the prison.

Lori, Sherry, Tabitha, and Phillip conducting a Bible study with two women inmates at the prison -- both convicted of murder and both receptive to the message. They later signed up for WBS lessons.

Not legal in most states in our country, but it is a necessity in most of the Central American countries. This was our church bus for several days.

Barbe is from Virginia. She has previous trips to China, but this was her first trip to Central America. She was a terrific member of the team. She taught ESL classes (English as a second language) to a group of over 15 each afternoon. They loved the classes and learned a lot of conversational English, plus they learned to sing "Jesus Loves Me" in English. She is welcome back on any trip!

Julie had a previous trip to Panama, but this was her first trip with our group. She is very, very good as a medical person, and very caring as a Christian.

Our team had a wide variety of talents and skills!
