try

I have tried starting this blog about five times now, trying to phrase this correctly, but can't quite nail it.  

Essentially, trying to summarize ministry activity.  I think it just boils down to:  try.  

Complicated eh?  Try implies a few things, probably more than I am thinking but...
1. You don't always succeed
2. It requires effort
3. It doesn't have to always be complicated.  

The picture here on the right (if this is displaying correctly of course) is from Talanga, pastor Manuel sharing this recipient of rice.  When I inquired about the hoe, he then casually added that he was someone looking for work all day in Talanga, who lives outside the city, and not finding any work, but remembering Manuel in the past had been able to help with some rice, took a chance to see if there was any so his family could eat that night.

We had a group here this past week, the first of the "summer" which will have...the most in a summer since 2008, if not the most ever for us.  

Soren is in country, and went with us, and thankfully recognized he was going to pass out before it happened.  While he was chatting with staff splayed out on the floor, someone also volunteered to take his BP.  Then he went back to talking to patients and their parents.

Things have just been starting in the Milk Project in Cantarranas, but already you can see the preparation and work coming together, not just in the daily activities, pastor Jonathan helping give classes a few days a week, new families coming to church now, but also in some very cool Mother's Day cards they shared making to take home.

Sometimes it is buildings, preaching, medical skill...sometimes it is some food, medical issues, and construction paper.  All are ways to worship, honor and glorify God to those around us, near and far.

Building

So much building going on in the mission, prayerfully we would always pray that the biggest growth would be in the hearts and minds of people we are reaching.  Of course, some physical construction is also required.  
Picture
Certainly the biggest project going on right now, is the office building.  Fundraising on this has been very slow, please pray for us on that, as we can't really afford to slow down...we need this built ASAP, plus since we are using a contractor, taking a break isn't good either.  Once the contractor is done, we will still have to build out the actually offices and meeting spaces.  They are nearing being able to pour the first floor up there in the air...it is a lot of work.  

As you can see below, to have a pastor's meeting right now means coordinating when teams aren't here, and to have their wives together...they had to use a bedroom downstairs.  Having these dedicated spaces we plan to use on a much more regular basis...when working around teams wouldn't work.

​There have also been some extra donations coming in to help Milk Project families with different things.  One of the pictures Maria took to show just one of the issues was this one, which struck me...no wall, and a missing floor...in your living room.  

Sometimes, it is picking priorities, as there are some rotting roofs, and in some cases, lost employment or rough times...requests for food instead of fixing some issues like this.  




And, we will be starting with groups soon to build in the air the kitchen/space for the next Milk Project location, in Talanga.  

Why not buy another property there instead of going vertical?  We tried that, and the prices for the surrounding available lots are so high, it just isn't cost feasible.  

We don't know when we will finish this, primarily using groups, but wanted to get started to be ready when the sponsors come.

Picture
Thanks to again special donations for church planting, the congregation in Danli is working hard on their church building as well.  Again...going with a second floor to go vertical in the future rather than a traditional roof, for the same reasons as Talanga.  

We should have enough funds to finish replacing the small building, and hopefully make at least some improvements to the house there as well, maybe an actual bathroom, safer exterior walls, and eventually...a second floor there as well for Sunday School rooms?  We shall see.  
Picture
There is still work left to be done in Cantarranas (below) for the Milk Project building...doors, windows, bars on the windows, building out the kitchen with sink, etc. and then the appliances will need to be purchased.  

We hope to use groups to do more work as well, maybe pouring some concrete for a good place to play outside.  
Picture
I don't have a recent picture of the new exam spaces being built in the clinic, but those are proceeding as well, and work to install the equipment in the new clinic buildings in Las Botijas and Sampedrana, as well as on the farm in Cantarranas...you get the idea.  

Lots going on...this is just sharing the construction side!  Pray all of us in Honduras would be able to proceed apace, where the funds have already been received, and where the funds need yet to come, for good stewardship, and sharing His love during, around, and through that construction!
