I'm sending this message out to any of you who have been involved with the ministry to El Salvador/Honduras and people on the HBC missions committee. Alex Lara (Elder at La Esperanza Church in El Sal) just sent me these pictures of La Esperanza II in Hacienda Grande Honduras.
On our second trip down to Honduras, Pastor Antonio and his wife Letty pulled me aside with a hand-written letter requesting funding to help them build a facility for their growing church plant in Honduras. Many of you remember this day as the day we walked to the river for their first Baptism (21 people if my memory serves me well) and a day many tears of joy were cried. I brought this letter back to the elders at Heritage. In the end HBC gave $10,000 which secured the $4k piece of land for this church building and the extra $6k covered a huge piece of the construction. You will also notice in these pictures that men from the church are doing the work. Many of them lost their jobs as a result of turning from Roman Catholicism to faith in Christ alone. They are able to provide for their families because of the work they get in the construction of this building. Be encouraged by these pictures, be reminded to pray, and please share these with Heritage... it is important for HBC to see their support in action.
Blessing, Josh
