Power of Prayer

Ola to all you Gringas back home (forgive me, my spelling is as bad as my spanish) Today we went to drop off the boys in "Saywattapecka" to help build an addition to Oscars church. But on our way there we stopped at an orphanage Destino del Reino ran by a wonderfully inspiring lady named Rhonda, God has built for them 2 homes, church, and a school (see pic above) and are in the progress of building a medical building. Her stories of miracles and the power of how God is answering all of their prayers is an inspiration to all of us and we can see what kind of difference ministries like Feed my sheep can do with Gods help. We also stopped by Vida y libertad another orphanage that cares for 30 ninos and I have to say this was a very emotional stop for me. When I looked at these children's smiling faces I could also see the longing in their eyes for parents that can not support them. The longing of what it must feel like to be loved and held only the way a father/mother can do. I know that these children's basic need are only barely being met and with the donations slipping away slowly from Vida y libertad the true need is to be witnessing to them to show them that they do have that agape love in Christ and that he is the way to true happiness and the end of their suffering. I am so excited to do the medical clinic for the next 2 days. More ninos to hold and to love and more opportunities for God to do his work. This trip has been a roller coaster of emotions and an experience I never dreamed of. Blessing to all of you back home........PRAY PRAY PRAY God gives what need, if only we ask. Love to all Kathy Johnson

Sunday April 27, 2008 Feeding Station and Bordo

On Saturday the team all arrived safely on anxious to get on with the a trip. We ate at Peco's Bills and made our last trip to the airport late of Steve and Jim.

After Church at the Reformada Central on Sunday we visited our feeding project in San Pedro Sula and later we went to Colonial Las Vegas to visit Eduardo and Louiscito and to distribute candy and of few small toys amoung the other children or the area. I have a lot of wonderful pictures of children and our group, but the computer hookup is to weak this morning to download and unfortunately the pictures will tell you a much better story than I can. The poverty is difficult to deal with and as usual it has affected the team members deeply. Last night during our devotion time we dealt with why in God's plan some seem chooses to have so little when we have so much. I will add pictures when it becomes possible.

This is early monday and we are getting ready to leave for siguatepeque to leave Steve, Jim, Bernie and Stan to work on the construction project.

Bernie is preparing bags of food, soap, toothpaste and tooth brushes with other items to be given to our scholars the day we have our clinic at their school. We are going to pick up the van and the pickup today and go to the airport to pick up the rest of the team. Marvin

Friday Morning April 25,2008

Bernie and I have been in San Pedro Sula since about noon on Wednesday. We have arranged for vehicles and will picking the team up tomorrow at the airport from 4 different flights. We have purchased the food that we will take to the mountain village and it will be delivered to the Hotel where it will be stored until we go. The food came to just short of 4000 lbs. We purchased soap, tooth paste, tooth brushes, soap and more rice and beans that will be distributed in bags to our scholars when we meet with them. The 4000 thousand Bibles were in the Hotel when we arrived and Bernie and I gave 500 of them to a ministry that was going to the men's prison here in town where they will be given to inmates. Last nite we took Rosa, Eduardo and Louiscito (The Safarians Honduras family) to Dinner at the Boys favorite place Popeyes, where the boys played in the playground with Fast Edy and Emy's Kids Raquel and Jonathan. We are looking forward to the team arriving tomorrow.

Great News and Getting Ready to Leave

HI everyone,

I am excited about heading out to San Pedro Sula this week. It seems like arrangements went too easy this trip, everything fell into place with the final piece falling just this morning. Roberto Grego has agreed to go to Siguatepeque with the construction team from Monday to Wednesday. The 4,000 Bibles arrived at the hotel today. Oscar has the construction material and Edy is going to pick up Bernie and I from the Airport. Bernie and I are going to have dinner with Romain (the man who takes us to the mountain) on Thursday and the Lawyer just told me that the Honduran Non profit church corporation is finally in place.
