AS A MATTER OF FACT WE HAVE, Mission, opportunities for YOU if you feel called to the Field of Mission. First of all we came to Honduras to respond to a need of building a Christian Bilingual School (LakeYojoa Bilingual School), and we did from the ground floor up. We find that three years later here we are adding another grade on every year we are up to grade five presently and we need to fill those teaching positions every year plus one. Sometimes we are lucky and a Mission Teacher stays on another year, which the STUDENTS love. I AM WRITING NOW TO ASK YOU TO PRAY ABOUT FILLING IN ONE OF THESE TEACHING POSITIONS, WE ASK FOR A RESUME,AND THAT YOU TEACH IN ENGLISH. SEND ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS TO cmrivera0072@gmail.com

We will start from that point, please include a photo, blessings.

Chris, Maria, Bertha, and Roberto

THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHRIS RIVERA

Honduras Mission Sept/Oct 2009

Somtimes I ask myself,"What did I just do, how did I get here and why?" Then ofcourse I see my co-laborers in the field and it brings me back...

As we turn another page...

Jose and friend came forward to recieve the Lord this day, now their feet are on solid ground in more ways than one! Thank you Lord!

Teaching 2 Cor2 CCPB

We had quite a group this Sunday with Mission Team and new teachers of LYBS.

Can't help but notice that nice new floor!

New Teachers arrived today, please pray as their task is large but in Christ it can be a piece of cake.

Pour the cement floor.

By the time I post this the whole floor of the church will be done! Thank you CC Greer!

Faithful Sunday School Teacher Leah Scott, working with the local children, she goes back to the US next week. Thank you.

The black eye is a result of neglect.

Our mission team nurses find a new friend to help.

This little girl has extreme burns on left side of body, her foot is gone.

Things should be better now, but i notice it was hard for her to smile, she was burned at the age of three, due to a fire caused by a candle.

Our little friend has blonde hair, (strong European influence) but she is 100% Honduran.

It's been a while, but there is news !

Dear Friends...

We are trying to get a new camera as our old one finally broke, we do alot of blog updates with pics and comments. ALL IS WELL, we anticipate new neat things in ministry; work crews to help finish the church, medical teams, administrating at the bilingual school, and last but not least working with Potter's Field Ministry in our attempts of working with Central America and her "needy children". Please pray that needs are met, and please offer prayer in thanks giving for the things that have already been done and promised!

We did get the extra land parcel which will help greatly in parking and the placing of our septic system, thank you Don Gaspar, But more over thank you, LORD!

CHURCH CONSTRUCTION PRAYER LIST 2009

PRAYER LIST FOR THE SUMMER OF 2009

There have been requests by visitors, asking me to POST a list of projects that need to be completed in regards to the new church building, well here they are :

1) We need the top part of the pitched roof capped on the church. We will need a high powered metal screw driver (4" screws self tapping) for tin roof. Power will be pulled from nearby power line.

2) We need to do serious completion of the Kidz Church, we need to complete all the cinder block walls interior and exterior. Cement mixed by hand, with fine sand and carried to block handlers by wheelbarrow. We can enlist the help of local men.

3) We need to put a roof on the Kidz Church the tin is already purchased (need buy the screws and metal support beams).

4) We will then need to white plaster all the interior walls (paint is just as expensive).

5) We need electric wiring and light fixture set up. Wires are put in pre-set tubing in the walls.

6) We will need a septic trench dug and pvc set for toilets and sinks.(bathrooms and Cafe)

7) A final project will include the pouring of cement for the floor of both Church and Kidz Church. We plan to use a decorative concrete floor stain and cut scores into the slab resembling tile work.

8) We will need interior furniture, pews, pulpit, and desks.

9) Then we can focus on the Cafe which we will use as a ministry outreach and incoming team fellowship.

10) A final landscape finish will be applied with proper water runoff and design. Local flowers, shrubs, coffee plants, banana trees and the like to be planted.

On special note, a good friend and watchdog:

Muneca died today, she was left to us by Carlos our watch man, she filled his position ever faithful. We knew things were ok when she was on watch, she filled in some gaps when we were homesick and missing our country and family. She never asked for much. She was 100% Catracha. I will miss her, good old bacon ears.

They came to check things out.

These men represent five solid ministries and we were blessed to have them all come and visit, we are weighing the possibilities of a day care and not to distant future orphanage. The results were: "They did see alot of need, in the people, land, and community.
