Honduras mission team report

The team is wrapping up our time in Honduras. It has been a blessing to see God at work. Not only have new souls been birthed into the kingdom, but many have heard the gospel.

This was my first trip to the World Baptist Missions ministry site in Guaimaca. God has truly blessed the people of this area by raising up a hospital facility in this semi-remote area. The poverty level of those living in proximity to the campus is heartbreaking. The mountain villages are so remote that they are only reachable by four-wheel drive vehicles. Some taking three hours to reach on a good day, even though they are only within 50 miles. You can imagine the desperate situation that many find themselves when it comes to a medical emergency.

The church planting and pastor training ministries are bearing much fruit. Where once there was no evangelical witness, there are now churches dotting the mountains with bi-vocational pastors. World Baptist Missions keeps evangelism at the forefront of all they do, even through the medical ministry.

Clean water is a precious commodity. While the World Baptist Missions team has plenty of water to provide others, it is currently prohibited doing so because of the lack of equipment. The truck previously used in the water delivery program – which was always combined with evangelism – was irreparably damaged in a tragic accident. While trusting that God will provide the needed equipment, many go lacking of this most basic of need until provision is made for its purchase.

There is still much to be done. The task is nowhere near complete, but with God’s provision and the faithful commitment of the World Baptist Missions staff and volunteers, the gospel goes forth, peoples medical needs are met, and Jesus Christ is given all of the honor and glory.

Thanks for your prayers as we have ministered in Honduras. Please continue to pray for World Baptist Missions as they continue their faithful, fruitful ministry in the Guaimaca area.
