My, how time flies when you're having fun...

Two weeks ago, we loaded up our vehicle and started out to a new land. Little did we realize the places we would go and the things we would see. Wow, what a wonderful two weeks it has been!

We arrived in our little home away from home and settled in and adjusted to the town of Copán Ruinas, Honduras. Then on Friday, the 6th, we began our jaunt, returning home on Saturday, the 14th. We traveled about 810 miles (representing 26 hours of hard driving); passed through 25 police checks; saw mountains, rivers, and the sea; tasted deliciously fresh seafood and Honduran hearty shish kebabs, tasty KFC, Popeye’s chicken, Quiznos subs, and Baskin Robbins ice cream; enjoyed the warmth of the beach, the chill of cool winds, the arid dust of the flatlands, and the mist of the mountain fog; developed new friendships and renewed treasured ones; passed alongside fincas of coffee, of bananas, of palms, of oranges, of pineapples, of sugar cane, and of cows; at times overtook vaqueros (cowboys) herding their cattle along, at other times, just a young boy with a sharp stick prodding the cows down the road, and at other times, just carefully drove past the freely roaming animals; maneuvered highways of asphalt and POTHOLES, of narrow one lane curves, of wide level smooth dirt, of deep creviced dried/wet mud, of white cement, of well maintained roads, of interstate like roads, of highways offering great possibilities for future use or demonstrating years of abuse. We rejoiced at evangelical churches we passed where the message of salvation was proclaimed. We were greatly burdened at the many areas we passed where seemingly no evangelical witness proclaimed salvation by faith in Christ alone instead where only is heard the oppression of a works based salvation yet they know they can never do enough or be good enough to receive entrance into the presence of the Father.

Pray with us that those who have found the forgiveness of sin and entered into the Light will live and share the Truth so others may experience eternal life. Garifuna, Lenca, Miskito, Pech, Suno, Chorti, Tol, Spanish…all are precious in His sight…all can receive the free gift of salvation...all must hear!
