Calvary Chapel Pena Blanca, Honduras is at a stand still, we lack the monies to continue at this point. I spent a couple of hours with the builder, Don Lecho, a local guy that has had much time and experience in building. I can not say enough good things about him and the many times he has reminded "me" the pastor of this church,"...not to worry, God will provide." Well this morning he greeted me with his ever present smile, which did not fade as I told him to halt all work and labor, for now, because there was no more money to pay the workers, some from Pena Blanca and surrounding area. I am glad to say the roof is on, we need to put the cap on the roof, fill the foundation with dirt and pour the cement floor, I would like to get the bars in the windows and wire the church for lights not to mention the need to put in toilets and septic tanks, and when we are done with that we sure would love to have the kids church finished,we need to build the walls and get the roof on that, soon as possible. "Barnabas Clinic" requests and asks our help, with children, healing from operations done at the very nearby clinic, we can provide space in the children's wing for "Art Therapy" which occupies child and parent during the most crucial time of "healing" from the Clinics Surgery. We could take this mission on more quickly if we had a roof on the children's part of the church, IF YOU WANT MORE INFO ON THE FRIENDS OF BARNABAS FOUNDATION SEE (FOBF.ORG), please be in prayer about the completion of our Calvary Chapel in Pena Blanca, I must pay last weeks wages as well as this weeks and I am not quite sure where that money is coming from yet,($800.00 US) and my personal account is just about tapped out, I will lean on Don Lecho's words of "God will provide", I thank you for taking the time to read this blog and thank you for your prayers, blessings to you, while in HIS service, Pastor C.Rivera
