Blessings and Challenges of 2023- 12.2023
Gary and Cheryl with Grant Beirute.
Our "anchor holds” here in northwest Honduras despite the financial challenges we face. In fact, the ministry continues to grow. As our ministry scripture says, “look on the field for they are already white for harvest.” We have seen a rich harvest of souls this year.
Grant and local youth at the Dr. James Green Memorial Sports Park.
The sports park evangelism has opened up a brand new avenue of reaching the unreached. Discipleship classes are ongoing with those who have received Christ. We’re blessed to have Grant Beirute to help lead this evangelistic effort and disciple young men.
The all-night vigil at TEE.
Our church, Templo Evangélico Emanuel, is growing as well as the four church plants. TEE remains to be a house of prayer with nurturing the body of Christ, baptizing the new converts and being a hub of humanitarian care.
Gary, Cheryl, Nicolas, Dennis Boersema, and the English and computer teachers.
The 200 English, Bible, and computer students hear the gospel in every class with our pastor, Nelson Osorto. Our six English and computer teachers continue to uphold the standard that Denny Boersema, an educator from Kalamazoo, Michigan, has taught them.
Sewing classes are ongoing as well as the children’s Bible and feeding program. A shipping container is on its way with children’s Christmas gifts to be distributed to many who will not otherwise receive a gift.
This year, Christ Presbyterian Church provided a medical brigade. Six hundred people were seen and witnessed to. They brought our first American youth group to minister with us in the sports park. A special dedication service for the Dr. James Green Memorial Sports Park, featuring Betty Jo Green, was held while CPC was here. Under the direction of our in-house nurse, Consuelo, dental brigades with local dentists were held throughout the year. There were hundreds of needy patients seen.
