Honduras prayers!!

Hey there friends!

On behalf of our team, THANK YOU for being committed to praying for our Short Term Mission team and trip to La Ceiba, Honduras! We are but 2 days away from liftoff and are growing more and more excited daily!

We are eager to keep you up to date on how you can specifically be praying for us throughout our journey as well as letting you know how God's faithfulness is being shown to us. Just in case, if you do not want to receive any more emails from us over the next month or so, please respond to this email stating so. We will remove you from our list. Otherwise, thanks for jumping on board...we greatly appreciate your prayers and are thankful you are part of our mission team!!

PRAISE!! We would like to thank you for your prayers up to this point as God has provided in incredible ways for our team! Despite the challenging economic situation the US is facing right now, so many have been so generous. We would like to let you know that our Lord has shown His gracious provision and has raised for us MORE THAN $12,000 in surplus funds!!! Thanks to your generosity we will be able to build one home from the ground up, add an addition to the meager home of a young family that we know from the church in La Ceiba, help with start-up for a block shop (to produce cinder blocks),support the children's malnutrition program, and fund offsite medical brigades. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL HELP!! We are simply in awe and hope that you will be encouraged as well!

PRAISE! We are completely overwhelmed by the amount of goods donated this year! From clothes to meds to school supplies to shoes to toys to clinic supplies to nutritional formulas – you name it, our living rooms and garage are covered in it! We are currently working to pack 32 suitcases to capacity with supplies. We're soo excited to bring Christmas in May down there. Again, THANK YOU for making this possible!!

Prayer...

Please pray for our team members by name: Elise, Courtney, Dan, Sereen, Amy, Oneke, Jean, Alex, Chad, Derek, Jarah, Tim, Nicole, Luke, Chad, April, and Vikki

~Pray for the preparation of our hearts in these last few days before leaving. Pray for hearts devoted to the Lord, focused on eternal things rather than the temporary things of this world.

~Pray for us to finish strong in our supply-raising and suitcase-packing.

~Pray for unity, oneness, and love among the team members and between our team and the local church in La Ceiba.

~Pray for the preparations going on now in La Ceiba as the church readies for the arrival of our team.

~Pray for the Lord's blessing upon those families with whom we will be staying.

~Pray for the safety and health of our team members even in these days before our trip.

~Pray for any outstanding logistics that must be taken care of before departure time. For wisdom, discernment, and grace in seeing them addressed.


Friends, we are so eager to let you know how the Lord both challenges us and shows Himself through us while we are in La Ceiba. We truly believe that your prayers will make a difference and are grateful to know you will be there with us in spirit. "The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." (James 5:16).

In Him, through Him, and for Him we go. Cloaked in prayer we will see His glory.

Thank you.


by His grace alone,
Vikki
