Pastor Nelson Osorto and Gerzon Lainez Arrive in Tulsa

Gathering Hearts For Honduras • December 1, 2024

"Gerzon was involved in a tragic accident.  After six surgeries in eighteen months, doctors finally told Gerzon they did not have the medical equipment or expertise to save his leg"

Nelson Osorto and  Gerzon Lainez met overwhelming challenges including strikes, blocked highways, and drivinh seven hours in the middle of the night to arrive at the embassy in the capital of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Praise the Lord. they arrived on time for their appointment to be approved for  visas to the U.S.  so that  Gerzon  could  be fitted with a prosthesis. If they missed this appointment, they would not get another opportunity until 2026. Thanks to Jerry Morris of Bridge Builders International., and Senator Lankford of OK, for expediting these visas. 


Gerzon was involved in a tragic accident.  After six surgeries in eighteen months, doctors finally told Gerzon they did not have the medical equipment or expertise to save his leg. After begging on the streets if San Pedro Sula, Gerzon finally got enough money to buy a prosthesis only to find out it did not work.


Gerzon started attending TEE and his life changed. After working with the evangelistic team of Memorial Heights Baptist Church, Claremore,OK, in March,  it was evident that Gerzon was born to be an evangelist.

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.
