Getting Ready!

January 21, 2020

Hard to believe this day has come.  In just four days I will be traveling to Honduras with Healthy Ninos Honduras.  How did I get involved with this team?  My aunt and uncle (Vernon and Linda) have asked me if I would be interested in traveling with them one year.  Well, that time came and I’m totally excited about this trip.  Joining me will be my sister, Marlene, and friends, Sylvia & Bill.  There will be a few other individuals I do not know and  will become “new” friends.

Our work will take place in the northern part of Honduras.  We fly into San Pedro Sula and will travel about 90 minutes south to the mission house and branch off each day from there.

What does this trip look like?
Healthy Niños focuses on helping children with malnutrition and their families, specifically in the San Francisco de Yojoa, Cortes area of Honduras. Child Survival Programs include the Nutrition Center, deworming programs, medical & construction brigades, & community education.  Since this is a new team for me, I’m not 100% sure what our responsibilities will be.  I am sure we will be doing things we do not normally do day but day.  Stay tuned for details. 😀

Please use the itinerary as a prayer list.

3. CUSTOMS:  Smooth transfers through customs in Honduras as well as back in the US (Miami)
4. Healthy Niños TEAM:  Pray for the group leaders as they direct the team and the individuals at the Mission house that we may be a blessing to them.
5. HONDURANS:  As we give of ourselves, may we be a big blessing to the people in the communities we will be visiting.  May they feel the love of Christ through us and feel safe with the Americans (Gringos) in their communities. 
6. TRANSLATIONS:  As we work through translators, may we all stay calm and not anxious.

Thank you to each of you for you prayers and support of our trip.  I will make every attempt to update daily but that all depends on what our WiFi is like.  If I can’t update daily on the blog I will make an effort to at least send an email update.
