Gathering Hearts for Honduras |
|
Each year, Beacon Hill Baptist Church, our sending church in Owasso, Oklahoma,sends Christmas boxes to the needy children in the impoverished villages near Seis de Mayo, Honduras. Many of these children have never received a Christmas gift and it is the event of the year for them. Each box not only has gifts, but personal hygiene items, school supplies and a child's coloring book presenting the Gospel. This has proved to be a successful evangelistic tool as well as enabling the Kuneys to win the trust of the people. The day the gifts are distributed long lines form and often there is a need for crowd control. Nevertheless, this has been a rewarding experience and it has helped to reach people of not only Seis de Mayo, near the mission center, but in what we call the "jungle area" as well where there is severe poverty. We are indebted to Candy Matheny who heads up the gifts and to Tom Hagen who heads up getting the cargo boxed and shipped. You, your Sunday school class or organization can donate items or financially help to purchase items. Each box contains hygiene items (soap, tooth paste, tooth brush, wash cloth), packaged snack, crayons, notebook, Gospel coloring book, two toys (ball, doll, car, jump rope, etc.) If you would like to participate in this incredible ministry opportunity, contact [email protected] . The following are extensive lists of the various items needed for the different age groups of children.
