Sugar Cookie


Here's Sugar Cookie! She's a kinkajou and an angel. She's Scott's baby. Come on down and join us on a short term mission trip and see all our pets, too.

THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS!!




Thanks to Laura and Matt, 2 faithful supporters, both Jonathon and Jossue will now be attending all English school in La Ceiba! This will cause a huge change in the possibilities available to them in the future as translators, or afford them the opportunity to go on to University...neither would have had this option before GIVERS committed and followed through on giving! All of us are grateful!!

We Are Family!



It is so exciting to be part of the Family of God! Brothers and sisters in Christ, obeying the Lord, and working together to get the job done.
Condensed version of story: Father of this family and his oldest son were killed in a car accident in January of 2011. They were on their way to be part of receiving motorcyles from Christian Motorcycle Association. There were 7 people killed in the accident. This family was left with a mother and 6 children and no place to live. A local pastor donated property for a house. We got a team to raise funds and come down and build the house. Local pastors, neighbors, friends, us, and the family all pitched in to get the job done. We made the walls of fabric provided by Al Barrett and his Threads of Hope ministry. Salma & Elvis, the young couple who use to live with us, took care of all details at the Olanchita location. Scott, Anne-Marie Vosburgh, and a group of women and one guy from Canada came down, stayed in Olanchita, and worked like dogs in really hot weather to complete the majority of this house in 5 days!!! Can you imagine? A house in 5 days? All with volunteers?
We want to take a moment and PRAISE THE LORD! He is our PROVISION!

P.I.G.S. INVADE HONDURAS & MORE!



Just said goodbye to a wonderful team from Florida. They called themselves "PIGS". At first, I thought it a strange name for a group. Then we saw them eat!!! But, when Jackie, one of the women on the team, gave her devotion one day, she referenced PIGS. People In God's Service. And, boy, were they! 10 motorcycles were given away, around 100 children attended a vacation bible school each day of the week, and we managed to get in about 50 food deliveries and a little playtime as well.. And, remember Jossue? He's the kid we have been sponsoring for the past 6 years. Now, he is acting as one of our translators for the teams! He's in a full American School and finished out the year with high grades. We praise the Lord for his hard work and obedience!
