Happy Easter

He is Risen!

Miskito Jesus Film Showing

The Jesus Film Showing was attended by people from both villages, Mabitah and Rus Rus.  They packed out the Community Center.  It’s the only film we know of that is in the Miskito Language so it was interesting to them to hear Jesus speaking Miskito.  We pray that lives were touched as God’s Word was presented through film.

May Work Team

We have a construction group coming early May replacing the roof on the guest house and enlarging the hangar on one side to accommodate the future truck and other equipment.  We are headed into town to purchase the supplies needed for these projects.  Now the process is: getting the roofing made to order, having it delivered to the port where we must find a ship that is available and going to La Mosquitia in the time frame that we need.  After it arrives, Wes must fly to Puerto Lempira to receive the shipment and find a truck that can deliver it to Rus Rus. Our concerns are many.  Please bathe this process in prayer so that things will go smoothly. 

Prayer Requests

Safety for the team coming

Supplies Purchased and Arrive In Time

Our health (breathing a lot of smoke during this burning season)

Our children as they are scattered – Korea, Afghanistan, North Carolina

Wisdom, always, so that we can minister effectively among these precious folks

BITS & PIECES

Though a rainbow graces one end of our runway, it is a far cry from conditions here.  That shot was taken a couple of months ago.  It’s dry season here and the grass is brown, not green.  Dust and smoke fills the air.  However, a small cold front dropped a bit of rain last night for which we are grateful.  Not enough, but some.  And you know that saying, “Every little bit helps.”

Praise Report

The renewal of our permanent residency cards went smoothly.  The paperwork was minimal and the photos were easily gained from the mall.  And best of all….it was less expensive than we thought it was going to be.  The  machine that makes the cards was busted but we were issued temporary “cards” until the cards come back from Tegucigalpa.  At least they'll be good for 5 years.  We just have to pick them up when they come in.  Thanks be to Him that prepared the way.

Annual Appreciation Dinner

Our annual Hospital Worker (and Family) Appreciation Dinner was held Sunday, April 6.  It was attended by 20 not including ourselves.  There was much laughter, fellowship and food.  A Good Time Was Had By All.

School Supplies Delivered

It was our pleasure to make up 25 bags holding needed school supplies for the students.  We also made up a gift bag for the new teacher with supplies she can use to help teach like flashcards, pens, glue, rulers, etc.  The children were delighted to receive their gifts.  The school has been closed for a couple of years and many prayers have been raised to have a teacher come.  We are so happy the children will get an education that will help them have the opportunity for a brighter future.

Prayer Request

There are several trips in the making for the rest of this year.  We would appreciate your prayers as these trips come together for both the folks coming and the funds to make it happen for traveling and the projects.  Thank you for your faithfulness in your prayers and gifts of love.

We pray that your Easter holiday is filled with His best blessings as we all remember His loving sacrifice and resurrection.

Joyfully In His Service,
