a little help

Did you know we have a Gator for the farm in Las Botijas?  I was skeptical at first that it would be useful enough to justify the cost.  Wow, was I impressed. It is expensive, but so easy to use on the farm, to get things around, in tight spaces, and at less cost hour to hour in rural settings like that.  

We have the opportunity to get another one, at a greatly reduced cost. We have already been blessed with $1,000 towards the $15,000 total we need to raise (the actual value of the Gator would be $22,000)

​This one would go to Sampedrana. going back and forth between the church and up to the farm.  It is a very cool opportunity to get this one, especially now that we know how well they can serve the farms.  If you want to donate...you can do that here:

  

The work has begun on creating the pond to house the tilapia in the farm in Cantarranas.  We are a long way from having fish, but this is a good start at least.  

The fish is a way we are praying we can produce enough financially, to cover all the rest of the fruit trees on the farm giving them away in the community, church, and Milk Projects.  

Pray for these unique little concrete contraptions.  They weigh 40 pounds, and we are going to try a test implementation of these on the road to the farm in Sampedrana to help with the road construction.  If these work, they could greatly improve our ability to do more road work, throughout the year.    

We have to wait for enough of them to be made, to try a small test area with $500 worth.  It would be so much easier and cheaper than pouring concrete, it just remains to be seen if they will be a good fit.  

The FAME container came a little while back.  The interesting thing has been this year giving out some of the supplies has been more structured, with Jose Luis (clinic spiritual director) doing more of it as he does house visits and Bible studies.  We always request wheelchairs, canes, crutches, etc. as well as adult diapers, as they are very expensive in Honduras.  It is great to see those go to so many who need the physical help, and also get to hear the Good News, the reason we are able to do all this in the first place. 

The Milk Project locations are continuing the tradition of making piñatas, for use for holidays but also to share with the churches where they are.  (These here are in Cantarranas)

Please pray with us...there are many different projects, like the ones above, some funded and just to do, some we need funding, all though which need to be covered in prayer for successfully being carried out.
