PLEASE KINDLY NOTE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS DOING A NEW THING IN 2012 SAYING "NEW WINE FOR NEW WINESKINS" AMEN. THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS ASKED US TO LAY DOWN M300 MINISTRIES AND ALL OF THE WORK, OF STRIVING AND SWEATING FROM OUR BROW AS HE IS TAKING THIS NAKED KERNEL THAT IS LAID DOWN IN OBEDIENCE DYING TO SELF THAT THE LORD MIGHT DO A NEW THING.
BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2012 AFTER 4 YEARS OF STRIVING WE WILL NOT BE FREQUENTLY UPDATING THIS REPORT PAGE.
1 Corinthians 15: 36-38 36You foolish man! Every time you plant seed, you sow something that does not come to life [germinating, springing up, and growing] unless it dies first.37Nor is the seed you sow then the body which it is going to have [later], but it is a naked kernel, perhaps of wheat or some of the rest of the grains. 38But God gives to it the body that He plans and sees fit, and to each kind of seed a body of its own.
We are excited that the Holy Spirit is taking our offering, our sacrifice as a "naked kernel" and as it dies to itself He will raise up a new body that He plans and sees fit. Thank you Lord for Yeshua Full Measure Ministry that you are founding, establishing and raising up. Hallelujah!
This year we have so much to be thankful for in Honduras. In spite of a difficult year financially, God has provided for every one of our needs and our programs have operated at full capacity. New churches have been planted and to date more than 150 new souls have come to Christ. In spite of a difficult year politically in Honduras God has blessed us with safety and security. He's opened doors for us to make friends with military officials and we have been able to continue operating when the rest of the region was shut down due to 24 hour curfews.
We have been blessed with three more homes at the Mission Lazarus Refuge. These homes are changing lives and truly do provide a Refuge for the children that call the Refuge home. When little Osiris Beltrand came to us, orphaned and neglected, she was very shy. She did not know what it meant to be an innocent child, much less what love was.
Now three years later she has blossomed and is a princess. Here she is taking part in this years Independence Day celebration in Honduras on September 15th. Complete with traditional colonial era costumes and folkloric dance. We are thankful for the Mission Lazarus Refuge and that children like Osiris are able to call this place home.
And just yesterday, we received a written certification from IHNFA, Honduras child protective services, that the adoption of our daughter, Soledad, is complete. This amazing 6 year journey has been a true learning process in how to trust God. Here she is with our son Levi.
Thank you God for your abundant blessings that you pour out daily. Thank you God for inspiring others to help make the work of Mission Lazarus, the work of preaching the Good News through works, a reality. And thank You, for being God's hands and hearing the cries of his children in need. Happy Thanksgiving.
