Mudding for Jesus!

In the US most truck and suv owners do not off road. Others look for places to go and test their stills. Some even go to a course that is designed with that in mind. Here in Honduras we do not have to go looking. We do mudding on the roads and test our skills just to get to a location to build a church or have a medical clinic.

If you enjoy the outdoors and want to enjoy great sensory think about coming to Honduras instead of Colorado next summer. You will be blessed while you help the people of Honduras.

Going as fast as you can and still only going 30 miles in 2 hours to reach a village for Christ.

That’s mudding for Jesus……..

Total Immersion

We started language school 2 weeks ago and I’m amazed at what we’ve learned. I’m also amazed at how different it is than I thought it would be. We chose a language school in La Ceiba Honduras for many reasons, but the 2 primary reasons were that the school was a Total Immersion school and that it had a medical program which would allow me to learn the medical terminology and work with local doctors and hospitals.

My thoughts of being in Spanish school were that we would be in class 4 hours a day, do homework for a couple of hours in the afternoon and then we’d hang out at the (click here to read the rest of this story)

Getting caught in the rain.

There are lessons in life almost everywhere if you look for them.


The other day Melissa and I were in Spanish class. It was about five minutes before class was over when the teacher said “let’s leave now! Quickly! The rain is coming!” So we started home so we would not get soaked.

Two or three times that morning I thought, “we should take the umbrella to class, it looks like rain. Well I argued with myself and decided not to because it was going to be hot and the sun would be out when we walk home.

Do you ever wander, "was that God trying to help me out?" Those times when you hear that still soft voice?

The lesson:
Listen to that still soft voice. I may be God speaking to you. Do you know his voice? Are you too busy handling things on your own that you’re not listening when God is talking?

He leads them and they follow because they know his voice. John 10:4

Back at the farm.

Here at the farm, we are looking out on the beautiful Honduran country side. Wow, this is a great place to be. God’s creation is wonderful.

Back in Honduras again!

After two months of waiting for the political unrest in Honduras to subside without event, we returned to Honduras on Sunday. On Monday the deposed president returned under the cover of darkness in an early morning dash to the Brazilian embassy.

The deposed president speaking from the roof of the embassy sparked of a demonstration. Fears of violence the current president called for a curfew as we made our way to San Pedro to pick up a team that was unable to come do to the closing of the air ports until further notice.

Aww, it is nice to be back in Honduras.....

Traveling: business or pleasure?

I like to say that I love to drive, even better when there is a destination to the journey.

I also love to meet people. Visit with old friends and making new ones, I love to be with people.

In the attempt to gain prayer support and engage those who are interested in missions I travel a lot when I am in the States. For the most part I do love it. But, I am a workaholic sometimes scheduling meetings too close together. This only makes what is usually a pleasure, in to work. This is the bad news.

The good news is all of the people I get to meet and the resources I have discovered. Such as a church in Temecula California that has put us on their prayer list. As you know prayer is God’s weapon on the spiritual battle field. I also got to meet the friendly people at “Faith Comes by Hearing”. What a great organization. They go into the world translating the bible into other languages. Then they put this bible on mp3 players using national speakers recorded in the field. They put this mp3 into a box with solar, A/C, and hand crank charging capability. This player is designed for group listening by illiterate nationals.

I have met many fiends during my travels the last few months. I have been able to introduce some of them to other friends that need to collaborate and share resources. I have also met several people who serve in and around Honduras.

And now I am off the road for a while.
