Honduras - Wednesday
September 7, 2011
On Tuesday, construction was finished on la casa which was begun Monday.
The medical team visited Boboton village, near Rio Lindo today; we were all surprised when we didn't drive up a mountain to get to the people (since that was our modus operandi the first 2 days). Someone suggested we go there because they have recently lost the pastor who shepherded the area. it was hoped that we would bring encouragement through our work and presence. May God grant it to be so!

Honduras - Monday
Today we conducted our first clinic (and supposedly, the first medical clinic ever in this area). Buena Vista is a mountain village near Pena Blanca, Lago de Yojoa. Eye care as well as general medical care was provided. About 100 folks received glasses, and 140 were seen by our optometric professionals. The medical team saw around 300 people, treating not only their physical issues such as worms, scabies, headaches, nausea, malnutrition, but also allowing time to pray with each person.
As for our construction team, they finished 60-70% of a new home today. The Hondurans who were around either helping or watching were a particular blessing. One little fellow, Edwin, really wanted to help and spent four hours performing some of the smaller tasks that the team needed. When there was a generator glitch, one of the locals allowed them to use the electricity from his house. The completed house will be 18' x 24'.
To enable the physicians to see so many people, the "Hey!" team keeps the children busy with games and crafts. Coloring sheets abounded, and a rousing game of musical chairs delighted the kids.
Special thanks to those of you praying for the ministry going on this week...and for our wonderful translators! The Lord has blessed us greatly today!

Honduras Mission Trip 2011 - Sunday
September 4, 2011
Crossing's medical/construction team arrived in Honduras this afternoon; we ate breakfast in OKC and lunch in Pena Blanca! Our group is comprised of 22 folks, ages 16 to 90.
We are blessed in that:
1) TS Lee didn't mess up our flights.
2) our tiny Continental plane was able to accommodate the 23 Rubbermaid supply tubs along with all our baggage.
3) We're getting to know each other which will help fuel our service to the Hondurans this week.
Thanks for your prayers,
Jeni Ward and all
