The Shepherdess Speaks...
Joy of the journey
And
they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his
disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much
displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Mark 10:13-15
Dangerous
Journey
Hope and encouragement comes to Honduras
In
answer to the Macedonia call, “Come and help us,”
my husband, (a pastor) and another minister acting as translator, arrived in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, known as the ‘murder
capitol of the world.’ I didn’t realize how dangerous this endeavor was until I
began to read about the rival gang crimes and drug related murders that are a
daily occurrence in this part of the world. The two ministers had to travel
this narrow road in order to minister to the Church of God in that community. This
was a precarious journey over hazardous conditions where gang activity and gun
fights are a daily occurrence.

Welcome brothers!
Primitive transportation
The children
Rental car in font of church building. They had to roll the tinted windows down so they wouldn't be suspected as affiliated with a gang. It was quite warm with no air conditioning. The congregation had decorated the church with welcome sing, flowers and backdrop of curtains. We had a warm welcome.
