From August 6th through 13th, the team from Lighthouse Church in Glen Burnie Maryland visited us, and worked alongside us.
They presented a VBS program in three different schools in Crucitas, over the course of several days. In Honduras, their work will be followed up by local pastors, who are starting to teach weekly Bible classes in each of these schools (and two others in that area).
This is actually a new kind of sponsorship/feeding center program we've started doing. The pastors continue to participate as an outreach ministry of their church, but the gatherings, the Bible lessons, and the feedings take place at the public schools - where the children already gather regularly for classes.
The team from Lighthouse will be returning home with a lot of enthusiasm to get these children sponsored. On Sunday, August 20th, Allen and Kim Hall will be at the morning services there at Lighthouse, to registers sponsors for the children of Crucitas through their new sister church sponsorship program!
We're super excited about this new partnership. We know the pastors in the Crucitas area are excited about this new ministry opportunity. The children and their families are excited about the meals, school shoes, and school supplies they will receive through the program. The team members are excited about being able to stay in contact, through correspondence, with the children they met during their week.
Here's a glimpse of what their week included:
