We're almost out of the boxes of food we received from Kids Against Hunger in late October of 2007. Food has been distributed through the public schools and through private schools. It has gone to supply feeding centers in especially needy areas. It has helped the pastors working in the poorest areas of the mountains, to feed their families and members of their congregations. Food has also gone to several orphanages. We worked very hard to document the food distributions, trying to get food to the neediest areas, and keep it from falling into the hands of those who would sell it for personal profit (corruption is a huge problem all throughout Honduras).
We have enough for one more distribution to the Special Needs families, and one more delivery to the orphanages and feeding centers of La Esperanza. After that, it will all be gone. Within the next month, there will be no more boxes of food on our carport. This is a good thing, because, of course, the food was distributed to and eaten by those in need. But, it is now time for us to start the process of getting another container of food delivered from Kids Against Hunger.
As before, we will need to raise the funds for the cost of shipping this container. We were blessed to receive private funding for the shipping of the first container - and, to our generous donors we say: ¡Muchas Gracias! Now, we're waiting to see how God will provide for the next container. If you would be interested in helping with this financial need, please contact me at trish @ sowers4pastors.com (but leave out the spaces around the "@"). Even if you can't help with the financial need, please pray with us for the funds for another container of food. Thanks!

The adventurous life of a missionary- I laughed out loud. This one-nearly cried. I am grateful for the love of God that you and hundreds of others are pouring out into the people of Honduras.
"Even if I am being poured out like a drink offering... "
God bless you.
