Destino del Reino

The sometimes absent mission pastor returns again!

I just got back last night from our latest mission team after 8 days in Honduras. We had a medical team working in partnership with our good friends at Destino del Reino near Siguatepeque. The group offered adult and pediatric medical care, medicine, and an eyeglass clinic. We also had groups for evangelism/discipleship and children's ministry. It was another phenomenal experience as we all grew in deeper relationship with one another and with God. Once again, as often happens with a strong mission experience, there are far too many stories to tell in this small space. I guess I'll just need to write a book sometime to share more of these incredible stories.

- we ate some great food!
- we heard bandito gun fights on two different early mornings.
- I helped orphans knock huge grasshoppers out of pine trees!
- we visited the homes of some of the children sponsored at the Destino school by individuals in our group.
- I drank Coke from a bottle for the first time in many years.
- we all learned a little more about the experience of following Christ as we worshipped together, sang and prayed together, and served together.










Here is the Destino del Reino website.

My Village View

In early November a missionary we support in Honduras was in town and shared an update on their story. She showed some pictures and explained their work with children and families in the mountains of central Honduras. Rhonda stated that the biggest challenge was the people "don't think outside their little village." I like the double meaning in the statement. She meant the people learn a certain way of thinking, talking, and living in their village and that status quo habit is tough to expand or change.

Yeah, I can see that. I'm afraid I'm guilty as well. Seems like part of our condition doesn't it?

"They don't think out of their little village."

Honduras Friends

Rhonda Jackson is originally from the Augusta area, and still has family and friends here. She's been in Honduras for a number of years and still receives support from mission teams in our area. Learn more about her work with children and families in the central Honduras region near Siquatepeque (sounds like "Sa what a pecky").
