Honduras, here I come!

I’ve officially been approved as a missionary to La Ceiba, Honduras with Mission to the World! I’ll be working to develop the
ministry to street children. I can hardly wait to get down there. It seems like a year is so far away, but I know that God is
going to use this time to prepare my heart. I am at the beginning stages of support raising, and it has been so much fun to be
able to share my heart with you. I pray that as you walk this journey with me, you will be just as encouraged by me as I am by
you. I can’t wait to join Team Honduras (pictured below) in the work they are doing in La Ceiba!

 What is a street child?
A street child is defined as a child under the age of 18 who spends all or most of
his/her time on the streets. Abuse and poverty at home are the main things that
drive these children onto the streets. They survive by stealing, selling items such
as candy and bracelets, and sometimes by prostituting themselves. They are often
found to be addicted to a toxic industrial glue, which has been said to give more
of a high than cocaine. These children are precious in God’s sight and are in
desperate need of spiritual, physical and emotional rehabilitation. Street boys in Tegucigalpa huddled
together to keep warm. (Click

By the time I arrive (hopefully in August of 2011) the team will have grown to ten
adults and 8 children. While each individual/family has their ministry focus, mine
will be in the area of street children. Initially, I expect to spend more of my
time building relationships and getting to know the street children of La Ceiba.
They are often very untrusting of adults, so it can take time before they will trust
you enough to allow you to help them. The Mission to the World team in La
Ceiba has purchased a plot of land (pictured to the right) that will eventually be a
building that will house any short -term teams as well as serve as a drop-in center
for street children. Once that is built, I will be helping out with the program
there. The kids that come to the drop-in center will receive one meal a day, a
