Daily Bread
Imagine you’re a mother. It’s about 10 o’clock in the morning, you’ve been up since 4 a.m. trying your best to take care of your two kids. But once again, you have no idea what you’re going to feed them. They’re always quick to inform you of their hunger and their thirst. You do what you can, but you know it’s not quite enough. One or two tortillas...

Health Talks
sure-footedtraveler: The health talks went very well today.  I think there were a total of 7 or 8 talks, and each seminar was full of people.  Education SHOULD BE the cornerstone of medicine and health.  It is extremely easy to have people come to you with a problem that you know how to help immediately, in the moment, treat them and send them on their way.  Without education, without taking the...

A horse is a horse, of course, of course
by Rebekah D. This morning we had the opportunity to refine our horsemanship skills and learn a little bit about Equine Therapy. John and Carrie are a couple from New Hampshire who have spent years working with Therapeutic Riding Programs for both children and adults.  A few years ago they came to help jump-start our therapy with some of the Refuge kids and they are back this week to help us out...

Soccer on Boca
rileyecurry: [Sunday] I took a bunch of young men from the church in Renacer out to the island to play a soccer game against some of the young men out there. It was a great experience. A lot of the guys from Renacer had never ridden in a boat before and it was fun to watch their excitement/fear. As I continue to develop relationships out there, I’m looking for new ways to do that. The...

Holy Week
by sethandrebekah: Last week was holy week (“Semana Santa” here in Honduras), and while most of the U.S. was stuffing plastic eggs with chocolate candies, buying Easter outfits, and planning elaborative church services, we were celebrating Honduran style.  Here, the entire country practically shuts down for the week before Easter Sunday.  The schools close.  Even adults get a break from work -...

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. ephesians 3:17-19

Humbling Moment Number Two
by mallory kornegay – click here to read the full post: During spring break I was translating for a medical brigade.  I had the easy job of simply telling the patients how to take their medication.  There was this flow to the day.  Sometimes there would be nobody waiting for medication, and then in a blink of an eye we would have eight people waiting.  During one of the lighter moments of the...

Stepping Out In Faith
What do you do when there’s no work to be found? What do you do when your family depends on you? You’re the oldest of your siblings, your father is not around. How will you make it through the rest of the day? I know for Marvin, Carlos and Bonny this is sometimes the case. Yet when I walk around the corner of the church building in San Marcos, I see them holding shovels, laying...

What is a medical brigade?
Medical brigades in Honduras were one of the things that made me want to become a medical missionary. As an intern with the mission during college, I loved working with the brigades that came down, translating, learning from the doctors, watching the church interact and offer a service to its community, and seeing how thankful the patients were for free quality health care in their community, even...
