The Last Two Weeks have been exciting.

Henry Alvarenga, our director at Ministerio Sal y Luz, has talked about his vision for the ministry here in Honduras for over a year and this last two weeks, his vision started coming to life.  It will only continue to grow and expand as God blesses the work here.
Of course, the first thing I always want to share is the growth of the ladies and their ministry.  The original ladies group has added over 200 other ladies and 5 villages to their list.  Now, the ladies have rented a house on credit in Pena Blanca and are making uniforms to sell to the stores in the area.  They are working 5 days a week in a poorly lit, hot room but they are faithful.  Henry's vision is to provide a way for the men and women in the area to have a means of providing income for their families and also to share the Love of God with them at the same time.  The ladies in the group will share the profits from the sell of the uniforms when they start selling them.  At the moment, they are building inventory and some of the women are having a real problem paying for their transportation to and from their villages to work every day.  As Henry always reminds me, GOD IS IN CONTROL and He will provide for us if we seek Him.
Last Friday, parents of children were here at the clinic for a morning of Bible Study and health prevention.  The staff did the health component and some of the local pastors held joint meetings with the parents and then separate meetings for the men and women.  Alcoholism and abuse are two of the big problems here in Honduras.  The men want to provide for their families but there is not enough work for them to do an adequate job, then that produces problems in the families.
On Friday of this week, we had a diabetes training and prevention clinic.  Over twenty patients attended and received information about diabetes and how to control it.  They also were given other information about the disease and a local pastor provided a time of devotion.      
Yesterday was a very busy day.  The staff of an eye clinic from another town came and did eye exams on the children in the education program.  We will be sending the results of that exam to the board in America to determine how to best help the children with problems.
Yesterday morning, I started my day by helping prepare over 300 chicken sandwiches for a ladies ministry conference to be held in the afternoon.  We deboned a lot of chickens and then made a type of sandwich spread out of the chicken mixed with other ingredients.  A lady, originally from Honduras but now living in Miami conducted the conference.  We had over 300 ladies attend from all the villages around our area.  The conference was held in the auditorium at the University down the road.  Many women were saved during the conference.
It is such a privilege to see God at work in the ministry here.  Henry and Hemi have done an excellent job of leading the people and finding avenues to get the job done.  We know that God has more plans in store and is blessing the spread of evangelism at our ministry.
Thank you for your prayers and support.  None of this is possible without your help, especially to support the operations budget of the ministry.  Without this money, we would not be able to pay the staff, or maintain the clinic and vehicles.
