Our guard Marco, told of us of how their church was struggling to put on a much needed new roof. We told them that if they would put forth an effort to try to raise funds and provide the labor, we would also help them. This last week, the roof was completed. In addition, Dr Rios attended numerous dental patients on Friday, April 27. Also on Friday, here in Tulsa Cheryl attended the meeting of Oral Roberts University Short term mission team. They will be at our mission center on May 21st to minister in the schools and impoverished areas.
Oral Roberts University student short term mission team is preparing to arrive at the mission center May 2st. They will be performing skits and presenting the Gospel to schools and our vo-tech students. We got a nice surprise today in that Mauricio Mayor, head of the Landau Company in Puerto Cortes offered to help house this team among his workers and also invited them to present in his company.
We continue to pursue medical care for Gary and are seeing several doctors. He is some improved but a long way to go. We covet your prayers.
Meanwhile work continues at the mission. I am in contact with Nicolas frequently and so appreciative of our workers and the devotion they have to their jobs and the people we serve. Last week, Nicolas completed a project I had started by having gutters installed on the front porch. Also, two roofs have now been completed over some of the poorest families thanks to the Metro Christian Academy cross country team. I can so see God’s timing in having FUMC team there in February as they worked with our teachers in enhancing their skills and this has continued in our absence; especially in the English as a Second Language Bible study that Ellen Lagrone did with the computer classes and Lisa White and Connie Presley did with the class. Then Stephanie Weckler and her girls came with the OSU team and brought in new projects for the school children and our sewing classes. All of this enriches our curriculum and strengthens our teachers. Thanks for your prayers Cheryl |
