10/31/17 - From Ginger and Mike Greene, to FBC Honduras Team:
Good morning First Baptist Raleigh,
We are excited about your returning to serve the Lord with us. Interestingly, we went Friday morning to assess for projects and God found yours. So when we saw your email we knew this was all in God's timing. God's timing is always perfect.
Your project is in an area called Tapatoca which is actually going out of the ministry campus to your right. You will be traveling up a beautiful mountain road for about forty-five minutes to serve this precious family.
Candida Amalia Espinal, age 40, is the mother of the home
Marvin Domian Hernandez, son, age 20
Carmen Mania Hernandez, age 17, daughter
Jose Loanezo Hernandez, age 12, son
Amalia makes and sells bread to provide all three of her children an education. Isn't this awesome she can do this for her family. During massive rains here this year her house got washed away. They have started to rebuild with the funds they had and have now ran out. This house will be a little bit smaller than the houses we build. We will also build her some steps to be able to get to her home safely.
Where you are going is basically the end of Tapatoca. These people have not been exposed to North Americans and are very quiet and subdued people. Mike and I were the first North Americans these children here have been exposed to. You will be the first team to work in this area for North Carolina Baptist Men.
We are here to make this week a blessing unto the Lord for all of us. Please remember you are the hands, feet and voice of Jesus for the first time to these people. So also since you have such a large team there is opportunities to evangelize and bring the lost to Christ. This could be the beginning of the plant of a new church in this area because there is not a Christian church here. So this is where we will worship Sunday at the home of Amaila. Please invite all around to worship with us on Sunday.
This is going to be an amazing week and every project is so different and this one is going to be a special one. We cannot wait to see what the Lord does through each of you this week.
