A special thank you to all the staff of WGO for making our week an incredible success. Without you we would still be wandering around Tegus looking for a road that heads up the mountain to the mission house.

We also wanted to share with you some additional personal perspective from our second brigade site. Pray for us as you read the accounts of God working

Watching God at work. There is nothing more exciting than to watch Him take the weak things of this world and make them strong through His power. That defines this week better than anything else I can think of. As we looked for God to make Himself known to us we saw Him remove the feelings of fear, uncertainty, and inadequacy and replace them with a sense of humble assurance. Without question our God was more than adequate for the task. Enjoy reading the stories of God at work. PASTOR DON ERICKSON

The day began on a very somber note, two sisters with congenital Glaucoma. The younger sister is already blind in one eye. The day ended with joy, an 87 year old received her first pair of glasses. DOCTOR JEFF JOHNSON

God answered a prayer regarding two of our own today. The day started hopeless and in pain, and immediately God turned that around by providing children as a blessing and distraction. KATHY PETROVICH

Today, in addition to the usual adults with complaints of abdominal pain, headaches, total body aches and not having enough money for medicine, I was exceptionally blessed by being able to examine and help many children-as young as one month. These beautiful kids are mostly all smiles no matter what is done to them. God has blessed our time in Honduras as we have attempted to show His love to some of the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere.
DOC. WES RYD

I wanted to thank everyone at home for their continued prayers. It has been an amazing week. It is hard to believe tomorrow is the last day. I can’t wait to see what joy tomorrow brings! Love to all family! TAMMY BAUER

When a man got a pair of glasses with a prescription that seemed nearly impossible to find, it showed how much God really works through ordinary people to impact someone else’s life. It’s amazing what God can do! LAUREN PETROVICH

Pharmacy may seem like a dull place to work. But, we get to see a lot of people as they wait for their prescriptions to be filled. I saw a two week old baby in her mother’s arms, several young ones breastfeeding, young children with beautiful faces in the cutest outfits, older people with tanned and wrinkled faces showing a lifetime of hard work and even a tiny puppy wearing a sweater, sporting three stickers…a happy face on its forehead, one on each paw…stuffed into a warm hat! LOIS THOMPSON

Today I got to move around and see God work through the hands and hearts of this amazing team of servants in each of the brigade areas. A young woman accepted Christ for whom life is very scary and lonely. Thanks to Jim Hawkes who helped me prepare a Bible especially for her by highlighting several special verses. I’m loving the babies. I know this sounds silly, but tomorrow I will move out of my comfort zone and work in the medical clinic. I am excited to do it so my amigo’s can do other things. BETH PROPP

Well, today was an awesome experience by being and helping at the dentistry area. I pulled four teeth and on Tuesday, I brought a person to Christ. This trip has been a great experience with all the people and meeting the Honduran families. DAVID BUGBEE

A reflection of mine after several trips here. The most amazing people in Honduras are the older women. They have so much to be bitter or angry about. They do so much of the family work. The men are so absent in this culture the women and often times the older women raise a large part of the family. They work so much and yet so many I have met are so positive. They are women of great faith and an inspiration to me. KEITH BUGBEE

The Honduran children are beautiful and loving. It was a privilege to work with them today – telling the gospel story and washing and combing their hair. It was a joy to receive their hugs and smiles. Thanks to everyone who is praying for us – it’s an amazing experience. To family and friends – we love you!!! GRACE THORNTON

For the first time, I served in Evangelism for the entire day. I was pleasantly surprised by the faith of the Hondurans. Nine out of 29 people, including a police man, came to know Christ, while the other 20 had previously accepted Christ as their personal Savior. God blessed me with a wonderful translator and open hearts of the Hondurans. It was truly an unforgettable experience! SUSANNE JOHNSON


GOOD NIGHT ONE AND ALL !!!!!
