Week Two--Siguatepeque

On Wednesday I said goodbye to my wonderful Epiphany friends and welcomed the mission team from Good Shepherd, Dallas, and St Anne's, DeSoto. There was an abrupt change in clergy at Good Shepherd, they needed a priest to serve as Chaplain, and as it all worked out smoothly, here I am.

Here is our worksite:


It is la Iglesia San Matias, high up in the mountains above Siguatepeque. As you can see, we are replacing the roof, doing other small construction projects (which mostly involve moving dirt!) and Christian Ed.


It is interesting to be part of this group, especially not bring in charge!! It has given me an interesting perspective on trips as well as a head start on my sabbatical project.

This week, i have the title: "Doing Short Term Mission Trips with Humility and Grace". Lots of ideas, lots still to learn. But I'm enjoying this week and looking forward to the months ahead.

I'll keep you posted!

Back Again!

Looking out from our hotel, we see wonderful tropical beauty. A wonderful place that we all love.



This is our second year at the Flamingo's Hotel in Omoa. We will do much the same as last year--painting and improving the Conference Center for the Diocese of Honduras and leading Christian Ed for the children of the village of Muchilena.

Being the second year, my hope is that we deepen the relationships we began last year. That is the most memorable aspect of coming, and where God can work most powerfully.

I'll tell you how it goes in the days ahead. Pray for us, that we can get out of the way and let Jesus work through us!
