Since the Plane Arrived


Since the plane arrived….busy. The Operation Renewed hope team has begun to arrive in waves from the USA and several Latin American countries…44 team members. The advanced team of 4 came from Fla to help prep for the evangelism and medical clinics. They arrive in a private plane in Choluteca. I got phone calls as the plane circled the city looking where to land. (It’s the first plane we have seen here in 2 years). We unloaded medicines and glasses and got them bedded down for and early start. The next day I did not want to go to Los Tererros empty, so we stopped and had them load 2 meters of gravel to finish the entrance of the church. Installed a battery light system on the church and add the solar panel later as time allows. Map out and plan the location then move to the next mountain and plan some more. Cutting fields, making ways to carry everything up the mountain, getting all the supplies, make a wood stove for Lisa to feed 60 people per day, and so on has really been a chore but the end result will be glory for Christ and lives changed for eternity. Pastor Ramon had a member very sick and asked Dr Waller to visit him Thurs morning. Everyone said the 28 year old man had cancer, but Dr Waller felt he was late stage Aids. He died that afternoon and the preaching service was at his home that evening.

The entire team will be here Saturday. We need a lot of prayer for this week……
