Prayer Requests for Honduras


The Burtch family is back in the states. They arrived in Houston yesterday and will be back in Seminole today. We can't wait to see them, hear all about their trip, and see pictures.

Steve and Audrey Long, the missionary couple in Honduras, sent some prayer requests that we wanted to share with you.
  • Pray for the food situation among the Chorti. In their last planting they lost the majority of their crops due to too much rain. It rained so much; they could not get into the fields to harvest their corn. The corn developed a fungus and could not be used for food. Most villages have little to no food. Pray that a solution will come soon and that the barriers will be small, plans will be made quickly without problems. The missionaries have applied for aide to distribute beans and corn.

  • The village leader of El Zapote, Alonzo, lost his wife this week. She had been sick for 9 years with a liver condition. Please pray for this family and the entire village.

  • Pray that a leader will be raised up to share the gospel and plant churches in each village.

  • Pray for the crops that are being planted that they will flourish and produce a bountiful harvest.

  • Pray for the team that will come on July 1 from FBC Seminole. They will have back to back teams. One leaves on July 8 and the other team arrives on July 8. Pray for us as we continue here in Honduras.

We also wanted to share the names of those going this year so you can begin praying for them.
