Pics from Honduras

Thursday, June 25, 2009


St. Luke's Presbyterian Church partnered with St. Andrews Presbyterian Church (Tucker) last week as we worked in Honduras in the village of Ocotal #2, in the department of Olancho. With the village residents, the team poured concrete floors, led a vacation Bible school, and celebrated the love and fellowship of God. While in Honduras we lived at El Rancho Pariso, a ranch operated by Honduras Outreach Inc. (hoi.org). The local Hondurans who oversee the day to day operations of the ranch were tremendous. They were hospitable, friendly, and helped us as we figured out the work we needed to do. Our hosts were truly examples for us that our whole lives are to be lived as servants of Christ. Their love and joy for life and Christ was certainly a sermon for us all. Something divine happens when we travel and serve as brothers and sisters in Christ. Although it is hard to name, at different moments it was felt by each one of us. David King reflected that he loved "connecting in this beautiful valley with our Christian neighbors and not only hearing the words 'Dios' and 'Jesus Cristo' but also deeply feeling them." Feeling Christ in our lives is something we all strive for and these trips are one of those ways we do that better. The youth that traveled with us were fantastic - you all have every reason to be proud of them. They worked hard, loved playing with the kids, and really felt a connectedness to our new brothers and sisters in Christ. Trips like this are possible because of the great support St. Luke's gives through prayer, staff, and Mission Miles fund raising. Thank you all of you who support these transforming trips. Honduras was an amazing trip and we are incredibly grateful to have been a part of it. Lives were changed and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit continues to be celebrated. In el nombre de Jesus Christo, Phil (felipe`) Brown & Shannon Dill

Pictures are coming and will be posted soon. Thank you to all of you who prayed for us and supported mission miles. Because of you all, this trip was possible. Thanks, Phil
