First of all we want to praise God for all HIS provisions
and for all of you who helped make this very important mission possible. We
want to thank Pastor Carlos, the Pastors and the Honduran people who helped
make this possible. Continue to pray for the Honduran people as they have a
long way to recovery and pray as we continue to see how this ministry can
continue to minister to the Hondurans these hard times. As several Hondurans
have said to me, “with GOD’s help we will get beyond this”. AMEN. Here is an
update of what has been done so far during the recovery effort.
Food Bags
1250 families have been provided enough food to last them
about 1 ½ weeks. Here is a sample of what it took to make this possible:
6000 lbs. beans
6000 lbs. rice
6000 lbs. maseca
1875 lbs. spaghetti
5000 lbs. sugar
2500 rolls toilet paper
Others – salt, sauces, seasonings,
matches, laundry detergent and body soap.
Reestablished water for a
community of 200 families. This was done with the help of 28 men from that
community and back breaking work by all. Installed 17 pieces of 6in. metal pipe
at over 300 lbs. each. Numerous 4” PVC pipe. All of this piping was destroyed
when the river flooded during Hurricanes that brought a total of 70 inches of
rain. It was amazing to see all these Honduran men so excited when the water
lines were completed.
Samaritan’s Purse gave us 15
portable water filtration and storage containers for 15 families. These
families lived in stick housing by the river and did not have clean water. We
were able to setup and train the on how to use these to give them clean water.
I tested after setup to demonstrate how clean the water will be.
Provided 44 mattress’s for
families who lost their bedding due to river flooding.
As Ginger has always asked us
“What was your God Moment for today”
Well mine was during these trying
times as we did ministry to the Honduran people, and seeing Pastor Carlos,
Pastors, and our Honduran staff share the love of Jesus with their people. I
was intentional not to be the one giving out food and mattress’s, but being in
the background and watching how God was using these people that work with Monte
de Horeb Ministries being the hands and feet of Jesus.
Again thank you all and God Bless.
