Group Testimonies from Memorial Heights Baptist Church- 03.2024

Grant Beirute • April 1, 2024

Included on this page are submitted testimonies from the MHBC team that came to the ministry in March of 2024. They spent the week visiting homes, sharing in schools, and conducting VBS. We are so thankful for what God did through this team!

“This was our first evangelism trip with a mission center for a home base, so we didn’t know what to expect. It was nice to be picked up at the airport eliminating the stress of locating this beautiful mission center. We were pleasantly surprised with the security, cleanliness, and comfort, including air conditioning in bedrooms as well as the dining room. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family by Gary, Cheryl, Grant, and the entire team of Honduran family who work for the mission center. The food was well above and beyond our expectations as Mrs. Cheryl is a professional hostess. It is also clear that she is like a mother to all the Honduran’s who work in and around the center.

That being said, the most wonderful thing about our experience with Gathering Hearts for Honduras was the benefit of their 25 years of loving service to the community, which created a very welcoming response to our visits. It is evident that Gathering Hearts and TEE have become a beacon of light for Jesus to the area. Brother Gary, Sister Cheryl, and Pastor Nelson from TEE all have a tender heart for the people in Honduras and are clearly there to serve them and share the love of Christ in word and deed. There were many members from TEE who were ready to love and serve their neighbors alongside us.

Seeing how Gary and Cheryl have truly lived by faith and fully relied on God to provide for all their needs is very inspiring and a testament to Gods promises. God has clearly called them to this mission and has blessed Gathering Hearts for Honduras in an amazing way, some of which will not be revealed until we are all called home.

The Honduran people were so polite and welcomed us into their homes. It was refreshing to share the Gospel with so many people who were open to listening and discussing Gods love. The harvest was great, and we were so blessed to work side by side with our new Honduran family.

We hope to return and work alongside Gathering Hearts and TEE someday soon.”

“Rejoicing when we heard “ I want a change” and another lady crying after accepting Christ as their savior!”

Beth Deckard

“This morning I had the privilege to share the gospel with the English Classes at Gathering Hearts. 15-20 prayed to receive Christ.

I shared the gospel with a store owner and a customer. I love how they drop everything, stop selling and listen to the gospel. Both people said they knew they sinners, ask God to forgive them and invited Jesus into their hearts.

I shared the Gospel message with 4 people making tortillas. They asked us to share while they worked. As I told the story of salvation, they quit working and listened intentionally to everything I said. All 4 prayed to receive Christ. It is so refreshing to see people that are willing to listen to the gospel and then repent of their sin and trust Christ.”

Six Months of Prayer Brings in Harvest of Souls- 03.2024

By Grant Beirute • April 1, 2024
Last week was one of our most successful times of evangelism with hundreds of people coming to the Lord Jesus Christ. Memorial Heights Baptist Church of Claremore, OK, came with a passion for souls. Despite this heat, the team of nineteen divided up with our church people from TEE and canvassed the villages going door to door and person to person, just like Gary has done for years. The exciting difference is this canvasing was multiplied by nineteen! I can’t help but believe that this rich harvest of souls was the result of six months of praying. The members of TEE brought names of people that they knew who did not know Christ (226) and they were posted on a tree in the church. Each name was prayed for for months. Pastor Nelson Osorto organized all the names geographically along with the person who brought those names. The members from TEE accompanied a Memorial Heights Baptist team to visit all these people. There were hundreds of salvations that were documented. Bob Howell, MHBC Children’s Minister, also went into the schools and many of those students responded to the Gospel. The team held a Vacation Bible School in the afternoons at our campus with ninety-eight children attending. We hope to incorporate some of their program into our Children's Ministry.
