I received this newsletter from Victor and Wendy in Honduras this week. Victor and Wendy are the missionary couple I travel with when I am in Honduras leading a team from the USA. Our last October trip was amazing and I hope to have the finished report up on the blog soon.
This newsletter lists all of the work that they are doing in Honduras.
Please support this missionary family of God with you prayers and donations.
Victor and Wendy took a visiting missions group over to Santa Barbara and to Copan Ruinas to put on a clown event for the children. Below are some photos of these events.

Sorry I haven’t posted lately, it’s been one of those busy summers.
I finally finished the Honduras trip report for the team I led to Copan, Santa Barbara and San Pedro Sula this past June. It was an amazing trip and God had so put this team together. It was an honor to lead this group of mighty Godly people into enemy territory.
Please checkout the trip report and let me know if you want to join with us on one of our future trips. We expect to have many more trips to Honduras coming in 2017 than we have had in the past. Possibly one or more every month.
Team 3 – Trip Report – June 2016
We no longer walk among the lost, wandering in the dark. God has set us free to walk with Jesus in the light. No longer blind, we now can see.
amen
During my morning devotional, I was reading in Exodus 17:15 – And Moses built an altar and named it, “The LORD Is My Banner.” So I decided to stop and research what else the Lord was called in the Old Testament. I found eleven different names mentioned in the scriptures. Most of them refer to our Lord as providing us with strength and protection.
The Lord is my …
The other item that I noticed is that Moses had built an altar. When God does something for us, we are to build an altar and offer a sacrifice to Him. This theme was carried throughout the old testament of the Bible. Genesis 8:20 Noah built an altar, Genesis 12:7 Abram built an altar, Genesis 35:7 Jacob built an altar… etc.
So then are we to build an altar when God moves in our lives? Yes… but after the finished work of Jesus, we are to offer ourselves, as a living sacrifice of worship to our God. We now can come directly to God through the finished work of Jesus and worship God in Spirit and in truth. Living and walking at all times in the Spirit, in a constant attitude of prayer should now be our offer of acceptable sacrifice to God on the altar. We offer Him our lives, our hearts and all that we are. Jesus has paid the price to redeem us back to the Father. Hallelujah – come let us offer ourselves on the altar today. Consume me, oh my God.
It always amazes me to realize the love God has for us. Where ever we go, whatever we are doing, whatever the time of day or the place, His love is ever reaching out toward us. We cannot escape His Love, there is no place to run!!
The fullness of the Father dwells in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ lives in us, in our bodies. We bring Jesus with us as we go… When we go to the store, to the workplace, to the park, anywhere and everywhere we go. This is the hope of glory, Jesus Christ lives in us. We get to bring the Love of God with us, to everyone we meet, at work, on the street and even to those at church.
A lot of people have an idea what God is and what His love might be. But those who have tasted His love and seen it action in our own lives and to those we come in contact with know, His Love is our source, our life and our strength. It is the Love of the Father that powers everything. It is why the only begotten son of God came to earth and died for all of us… The proof of His love for us. There is no greater love than this, that one lay down his life for a friend, and Jesus is our true friend.
It is why Peter fell to his knees on that tiny fishing boat when he realized that this Jesus who was teaching from his boat, was the Christ, the one sent from God the Father. Peter suddenly knew who he was, a sinner and had experienced the Love of God who was standing right in front of him. He had just seen a miracle of fish filling his net where he knew there were no fish in the deep waters. He had met the Love of God head on. It changed him forever, he experienced what agape love was, face to face. Peter cried out “Lord”. He had just met his Lord and his God, he had just found the Love of God. Forever was Peter changed and the world would itself be changed by this revelation.
And… He is Alive… Jesus is alive, In us. hallelujah. hallelujah. hallelujah.
Meditate on what this means while you listen to Kelley Mooney’s version of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”.
I received a text from Wendy and Victor about a praise report that happened Monday.
They traveled up to Copan expecting to feed and share Jesus with about 60 children, but found 100 waiting there for them. This was the text from Wendy and Victor
Good afternoon everyone! We want to share a praise report. Yesterday was the first day of FEEDING PROGRAM for children in Copan. The program is designed for children to know God and get closer to Jesus. Along with feeding them spiritually they will receive a delicious meal. We expected 60 children but we had a total count of 100 children. Praise God!
We had a blessed in
1. Prayer
2. Praise and worship
3. Bible teachings
4. Activities
5. A nutritious meal
We will be doing this in three different cities in Honduras.
Jesus said, “Let the children come to me”.
If you would like to partner with us to make this happen, please reach out to us. Together we can reach the children of Honduras, the future generations for Christ.
Praise God!
Hebrews 11:6 says “Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.”
I notice that it’s during those times when I am very hungry for God that things happen… I have to have more of Him. I cry out, I have to have more of you God. I am pursuing Him with all that I am, but I have to have more…. I have to have more, it’s become an urgency within me. I drop to my knees and cry out, God…. I have to have more, nothing else satisfies, nothing. There is nothing of this world that can satisfy the burning within me… Nobody else can satisfy my hunger, nothing else, only God. I have to have the more of Him at all costs.
It’s when I am desperate for more and my heart burns within me that God rewards me with His new gifts, greater understanding and His peace and Love.
I’ve learned that when I am hungry I also thirst for His righteousness. I want to be pure and concentrated for Him. It’s not OK to live like we did before we came to know Jesus… After I have tasted and seen that the Lord is good, nothing else can satisfy. NOTHING.
So I ask you… how HUNGRY are you for the MORE of God???
This is the story of Scotty meeting the love of Jesus. Scotty was involved in an accident that fractured his right hip. He had surgery performed and received several screws, rods and pins, but it was not ultimately successful. His leg kept getting shorter every year.
Scotty’s right femur bone was moving up, going through his right hip and was about to puncture his intestines. Scotty was living at a halfway house and was desperate for Jesus to move in his life. He had a relationship with his saviour, but needed a touch from God. So on Tuesday, April 26th, 2016… Jesus’s love met Scotty head on.
John, Phillip and myself drove to the halfway house to pray for Scotty and several others. The following pictures show what happens when Jesus’s love shows up.
Finally, Scotty is able to stand tall without using his cane or wearing his special shoes.
Scotty looks somewhat puzzled, he now needs to find a pair of shoes that will work for him. Praise Jesus.
Jesus is so awesome, He loves us so much!
