Food Distribution Update

I know that I am not on the trip - I am sitting at home in Seminole, Texas but I wanted to share an update on the food distribution that Audrey sent out on Saturday. Also, listed below are the names of the villages that this week's team will be in each day. Please pray for these villages and the team.

Three men (I think they are from North Carolina) are arriving in Honduras on Thursday. They will set up the warehouse and have the corn and beans ready to start distribution no later than next Monday. Almost $20,000 has been received to start the distribution. In the previous distribution (2007), over $62,000 was used and the need this time is much greater. To feed a family of 4 (and most families are much larger than that) for a month, it will take 100 pounds of corn and 20 pounds of beans.

If you feel called to assist financially with this effort, please take your donation to the church office. Our next team will take any funds that we have collected with them on Friday.

Our team that is there now will be going into villages that have not be visited for awhile and also a new Chorti village for Steve and Audrey.
Monday: San Isidroe
Tuesday: Hacienda de San Juan
Wednesday: Barbasco
Thursday: Plan de Perico

Prayer Requests:
  • Each village named above
  • The village leader for each village named
  • good weather so they can make it into the villages
  • right amount of rain for a good harvest for corn and beans that are now planted
  • Pray that the Chorti will not only receive physical food to feed their bodies but that they will also receive the spiritual food that will be shared with them.

Blessings,
Tami
