To Honduras

I would like to encourage my readers and ask all of you to be in prayer. I am very excited to tell you of my wife and her ambition to serve in a short term Mission Trip in Honduras, from December 1-8, 2012. Our home church here in Topeka, KS has partnered up with Living Water International, and our Body is sending a team of missionaries, both men and women, to work with the International ministry to provide sustainable drinking water for a community along the Caribbean side of Honduras.
As mentioned, our team will consist of a small group of women (of which my wife is included) to provide hygiene to the Hondurans.
To help raise funds, my wife has hand crafted a number of jewelry pieces to sell. And because I like selling to give, I am  posting and sharing her artwork on the Selling To Give Blog.


 Seafoam colors on silver.
Cha-Cha style. $15.00
I ask for you to pray, please be in prayer for our team and the efforts of Living Water International. I ask you to be in prayer for the people of Honduras, so that the compassion of Jesus would be revealed to them, and that the Hondurans would come to know the One Living and Loving God. And lastly, as you to consider purchasing any of these artworks  I ask for your prayers for both my wife and I be poured out wine and broken bread, so that we may be servants of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise Report for August

This blog post serves as a continuation of the previous post Maybe that is all that is needed? As a huge debt of gratitude goes out to the families of our church who have cheerfully given clothes and kids toys to help raise funds, not only for the anticipated Mission trip to Africa. But also help raise financial support for indigenous pastors across North Africa and in Tanzania. My wife and I had an opportunity to sell much of these donated goods through Here We Grow Again, a consignment sale that caters to the needs and interests of families with small children. And as this current school year has already gotten underway, this was the best time to have on hand all the donated items we had. Once again, a sincere gratitude goes out to the local Body of Christ.
Through the earnings made by participating, a total $100.00 has been raised. $25.00 of which will be given to support the evangelical work of Arabic Bible Outreach Ministry. $20.00 will be designated to the work of the Topeka Rescue Mission. And a $10.00 amount will go to support an undisclosed adoptive family. The remaining $50.00 will help cover the costs of going to Africa.
