A Glimpse of Joy Admist the Poverty

June 18th

We began our day with a precious time of devotion and another "magnifico" breakfast.  Then we went to TQ and successfully planted the remaining trees which had been purchased (#30). We have learned how to mix poop and then scoop it into the hole in prep for the new trees.  We are grateful that God has sent rain to help them grow and look forward to the fruit each one will bear.

After lunch, we presented a gift of beans and rice to the community near Tranquilidad. Our home church has taught us to look for opportunities to reach "every man, woman and child" within our own community.  Here it was a blessing for us to see the smiles when the families received such a small gift and words of love in the name of Jesus.

Directly from there, we visited the Tejeras feeding program which is sponsored by Honduras Agape Foundation.  This program feeds 75+ children four times a week.  We were all moved by the beautiful faces of these impoverished children so eager for their meal...possibly the only one of the day.  We were able to help serve them the meal but are grateful to those whom God has moved to sponsor it.
