A tour of our clinic in Yamaranguila (English)

I am always amazed at just how awesome God is. Just when I think, I know how awesome He is. He does something new. Wow, what a God He is. I want to have a dental clinic in our Love of God Medical clinic in Yamaranguila, Intibucá, Honduras in Central America. I have many things for it. Now our second clinic is about to open and I have nothing for it.

I visited the Rotary Club’s medical supplies warehouse the other day and they are going to give us the equipment for a complete dental clinic. 

Along with that, we are receiving EKG machines and other equipment that we want to have in our clinics. We are even getting some anesthesia machines for the local hospital in Honduras.

Do you have or know someone who has medical supplies or equipment they would like to donate? Let us know and we will get it to Honduras and put it to use.

Can you see in the dark?

When you are in the darkness you only see part of what is there. You do not fully understand your situation nor your surroundings. by when the light comes into the situation you find yourself aware of things you didn't know. Then you can start to make changes. 

This morning I was getting around in the dark and could not see very clearly i was trying not to wake up my wife. but when I got into the light I realised I did not have my glasses and everything was blurry. I then know I needed my classes to focus. what to do. 

We live in the darkness but when the light comes we realize we need help. Christ is that Helf. He is the light and his word brings everything into focus. And He is there all along.

If i am the hand you are the arm.

Missions 
is an act of the body.

The body of Christ is reaching into the darkness to reveal the truth and light, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.




It takes the whole body to reach into the dark places. If we are the hand, we must have the arm to extend us into the mission field. We can do so much, teach, preach, and meet needs opening the doors to discipleship.

If it is not for the arm, the church we can not do anything. The Church is our life line. the missionaries need the church at home to pray for us.

Pray for favor in the locations we go, minister and live.

Pray for our safety. In the jungles there are which doctors casting evil curses and with your prayers we will be safe.

Pray for our provision and be willing when God asks you to be the answer of your own prayers. Many times when i pray I find that God is not just putting on my heart to pray for someone but to help them also. And when I do God blesses me more than how much i helped.

Pray for encouragement. it can be very isolating and discouraging to be in the field. Send emails, Facebook posts, cards, calls. This encouragement is really needed. It is needed to know that we are not disconnected from the Church, friends, and family.

Missions is a war, a spiritual war, and pray is our weapons. Use them often and help the missionaries fight darkness.

The call to go and make disciples is a simple one right?

At first glance the call looks simple. And it is if you are talking about the “goal”.

The goal is to be a disciples, introduce others to Christ and disciples those who will listen.

This is like the goal in football; get more points than your opponent. That is simple right?

To achieve this goal in football you have to study your team and your opponent. Find the right combinations of office and defense, make a plan and execute that plan. But wait before you even get to the field to execute that plan you have to prepare. And you have to have someone paying the bills or you will never get to the field. 

You also have expenses while you are on the field. Someone has to pay for the ticket takers, the ticket makers, the trainers, the balls, the referees, the uniforms, the goal posts, the …. You get the picture. And during the game someone has to sustain the players, gatorade, bandages, bench warmers when it is cold, bench coolers when it is hot. 

You have to have the equipment needed, the shoulder pads, the helmets, the field itself. You have to have energy bars and sometimes pain medicine. There are a lot of things you need to play the game. Someone has to pay for all of this. You spend a lot of time looking for funding so you can play the game. Sometimes this take most of your time.

The truth is that it take a lot to achieve the goal in missions. You have to train in language, culture sensitivity, bible knowledge and spiritual warfare. You must raise the funds to be equipped, travel, and sustain you on the field. You must build your team.

The team is more than those who go with you physically. The team is made up of:

• the grandmother that prays for your every day
• the pastors that cover you
• the friends that encourage you
• the supporters who fund you
• the family that misses you but knows you need to go
• the churches that send teams and come see you
• the interns and staff that come along side of you
• the board members that have your back
• the volunteers that gather and ship what you need

The missionaries are everyone on the team because you cannot go if you do not have a team behind you. Your team is more important than you are. Because you cannot go without your team.

Thank you to all of you who are on our team some of your pictures are below.

The Beard

Boys start out sweet and innocent. 

If we do not watch it and start shaving, the beard will take over. We can shave every once in a while and become sweet again; but before you know it the beard comes back. If we want to stay sweet, we must shave and shave often to keep the beard from showing itself.

Sin is like the beard. We start out sweet and innocent. When we are exposed to the world our sinful nature starts to come out. If we don't watch it and read the word and keep the sin from growing in our lives we will become accustomed to living with the "beard" a sinful life. 

The word of God is as sharp as a two edged sword. It cuts off the bad "sin" of our live so that we can live healthy. If we "shave" by reading the world of God it will keep the sinful nature from taking over. If we keep our mind on the word and think of good things we will do good things.

How long has it been since you shaved?

From the Bottle to the Cross!

This world is so lost. They look for significance in every place searching for a reason to be alive and hiding from the thing they have done or not done.

They are men everywhere. Drinking their life away because they have shame for how they lived up to now. They drink every time they get sober enough to realize who they have been and who they have become.

Here in Honduras they drink a moon shine so pertinent most often they fall to the ground just a few steps from where they took their drink. With no hope and no one to help them; they lay there in the street or the gutter. Just to wake up and take another drink. Often times they are die of exposure.

They do not know that their Lord and savior is right by their side, waiting for them to turn to him. But, there is hope. Last September God put in my path a man from Honduras who lived in the US from the time he was 15 years old till last year. 

He has 25 years’ experience working with addiction. Sof Alvarez, 42, is now working with us. He came to us as we were looking for a way to help these alcoholics. We are now making plans to start a regeneration program.

You can help these unfortunate men who turn to the bottle instead of to the Cross. Join us and be a part of this great outreach. Currently we are praying for land to build the center.

This center will be a part of the Victory Farms program.

With reverence and respect we Honor

                                                          It is hard to imagine the days when we did not have missiles, smart bombs, and targeted strikes. But that is how it was in the past. When so many took up the call to take out fortified positions with only themselves to through at the enemy. Without body armor they ran at a machine gun in packs hoping at least one would make it alive to stop the big gun in front of them knowing that most of them would not live to know the outcome.

With reverence and respect we Honor those who have, are and will do the hard things. God bless them all and their families.

When life throws a little rain; keep driving.

I drive a lot these days. Well, I guess I always have and it is great when you go on vacation. Usually I have a clear plan of how long, where, and when we will return, but life is not a vacation. 

Often it is more like driving in the rain. We have a plan and it looks a little cloudy. When it starts to rain it is still ok because we can still see the road.

Then there are times when a big truck drives by and throws a little rain on your windshield. It seems so scary and you just want to slam on the breaks, but that may be dangerous. The car behind you may not stop and hit you or your car may slide into the truck. You have to remember where the road was before the splash came and you lost sight of the road. You have to trust that the road is still there. You must keep driving and wait for your sight of the road to return.

When God gives you a vision and you are certain of your path. You have to remember the vision and the path is there. Even when you get blinded and you can’t really see the path; you must keep on going until your sight of the path returns. God has you in his hands. 

He will see you through the storms of life. 

You have to keep believing in the vision and the path. Keep straight and keep driving. 

Empowering Sustainability is my life's goal. Here is a video where i describe how i am going about it.

Come along with us and enpower sustainability. get started here

Last night, Melissa was having fun with frends and I found myself alone eating Chinese. I don't usualy like to do things alone especially eat. But this was much needed down time. How refreshing it was not to have the cell going crazy or the computer on. I just sat there. that was nice. Then I read the cookie. lots of times it says things that is superstitious or fortunetelling; but this was just truth. it said.
 The eyes believe themselves but the ears believe others.
 How often do we jump to conclusions that create offences and not seek to understand by listening. I find myself doing this and it is sometimes hard to realize I am doing it.

Fayetteville Missionaires Help Provide Medical Care to Those in Need

Fayetteville Missionaires Help Provide Medical Care to Those in Need

Problems are not failures. They are challenges with solutions.

After four years of working in Honduras on Sustainable Agriculture and Sustainable Healthy Living. I have realized a challenge that others would consider a problem. Ironically this (problem) challenge brought me back to Springdale, Arkansas praying for a solution.

The Challenge: to produce organic fertilizer so the (farmers) Lenca Indians do not have to purchase chemicals with money they do not have to produce the food they desperately need.

Springdale, Arkansas is considered the chicken capital of the world with Tyson Foods, George’s Poultry and Cargill all having plants and offices here. Springdale also have a chicken festival recently renamed Feather Fest. I got reacquainted with an old acquaintance the other day that opened my eyes. The solution to my challenge is Chickens. Producing fertilizer, eggs, and can be eaten. The Incredible eatable egg hatches into the incredible organic fertilizer producer that I will use to solve the challenge.

God is good!

Heaven’s Reach Ministries is poised to announce a Great New Project. Stay tuned.

The Human mind.

The Human mind is like a ball of clay. When it is dry, it is hard as a rock. When the water of the Holly Spirit flows over it, it begins to soften. But if we do not add good things to the soften clay (like reading the word, praying, and worshiping God) that clay will return to its dry hard ball. But if we renew our minds through reading the word of God, pray, and worship him. He will make us rich and fertile soil that will remain soft, producing fruit, and prospering.

If you are not prospering or producing fruit. Maybe it is time to renew your mind by reading the word of God, praying, and worshiping God. The bible says seek after God and all things will be added unto you.

Start today find a reading plan at http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/readingplans/. if this is your first time reading the bible by a plan, let me suggest starting with the New Testament in a Year, NIV - 365 days.

Bumps on a page.

The other day I was stopped in the street by a local teacher who was asked to teach blind Honduras youth how to read Braille. She asks if I had any or could get some materials for her to teach from. I started my search just by asking on Facebook if anyone had any or new where I can get some. I looked and found a Braille Bible in spanish. Lutheran Braille Workers are sending it to me. Each Bible takes up 5 feet of shelf space. These precias hand made Braille Bibles. These bumps on a page will not only help a teacher teach reading but show the way to Christ. Bring the lives of the blind to salvation and open opportunities for those who would otherwise be dependent for their entire lives.

Finding good dirt is hard. It take a lot to be good dirt, no rocks, no weeds, no contaminates. With good dirt the see will grow. are you good dirt? Are are you holding on to some rocks or weeds you know you need to let go of. If you are ready to let go of those rocks, He will help. just ask. He is waiting for you.

"Praise!"

We are the orchestra and God is the conductor. He has a grand plan of a symphony. And we all have a part.

Sometimes we feel like we are all alone. But we must not forget that there are others working in this grand plan. We make our music and hope it is the best and lives up to what God wants.

And sometimes we are called to be a soloist. And we feel we are not right for the job.

But God knows what he is doing and there are always others helping. We just need to keep our eyes on the conductor and he make the symphony out of all the individual interments.

Come and make music and hear the symphony of God. The name of the symphony is "Praise!"
