The Vision Honduras Team will again embark on its eighth mission to Honduras from February 1 – 25th, 2011 after eleven spirited months of preparation!
Our team sets off partially this year as my mom stays behind to continue her gutsy and very noble protest against endometrial clear cell carcinoma… a sneaky diagnosis that deserves no capital letters of acknowledgment. We’ll do our best to live out mom’s driven heart, her positive perspective, her quick laughter and honest observations in her name this year. No one loves you more.
Along with the 2011 “traveling team” of 12, countless disciples have selflessly gifted their encouragement, their time, talents and goods, and have organized and shipped cargo containers of supplies for our mission to Honduras. The semi trailer sized loads were packed with reconditioned prescription eye glasses secured through Lions Club International; food packaged through Kids Against Hunger/Stewart, Minnesota; New Testament Bibles written in Spanish; handmade quilts; blankets; clothing and shoes; as well as gifted wheelchairs, walkers and canes.
This I believe: everything that happens on the mission will be directly related to the whispered prayers on behalf of the team during the 25 days we’ll work in the Honduran mountains. Your prayers will sustain us on our schedule.
Please pray for our travel arrangements to go as planned, for our safety on the road and in the air, and for each team member’s health throughout the mission. We ask for prayers for team unity, for protection of our group and for our loved ones while we’re separated.
Give thanks, too, for all those at home who have made our trip possible and meaningful: our families and friends, our churches, our colleagues and selfless financial contributors.
Finally, we ask that you pray for Divine appointments for us with those we’ll meet, with those we’ll serve, and for continued blessings on those we’ll leave behind.
Please continue to check back in or sign up on our blog to receive post alerts that new information has been added.
God bless you all… really good.
kay (going again… and smiling)
