Gringo Church



Although we can attend many different churches here, in Spanish, there is something very special about worshipping in our own language, with a group of people who are from our own culture and who understand our struggles in a non-crosscultural manner, and singing the songs that we have loved for years.

This morning, for the first time, we attended "Gringo church" at the home of our friends Trish and Brad Ward, in Santa Rosa de Copan. It was such a blessing! The plan is for us to meet once each month, in the future.

There were about 20 people in attendance, and we had such a nice time. After the service, we had a pot-luck lunch and then the kids played together while the adults enjoyed some English conversation. We can't wait for next month!

Oh Trish
Ive been praying that you would have a group like this so you could worship and be encouraged in English! God is so good!

We have been attending a well established English speaking church here in SPS. ICF. You've probably heard of it since you've lived in Honduras for so long.
I completely understand what you are saying.
