“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”  – Philippians 4:19

Dear Friends,

I need to brag on Jesus.  About 6 weeks ago, due to the stay-at-home orders here in Honduras, Jesus really impressed on me the need for food distribution in Helene.  God spoke to us and asked us to join Him in taking care of His wonderful people of Helene.  So we invited you to help with prayers and donations for food, fuel and medications.  With your gracious response, $2,000 was donated for purchasing food for the Helene Island communities.

Jesus spoke to my heart as to who to ask to get involved in this project.  I started with Elizabeth, and Jesus, who is always at work, spoke to Arla and she got involved.  Then Keyna, from the Bight community joined up along with Matilde, Doel and Ronald.  Wednesday morning the volunteers traveled by boat down island from Helene to Roatan. With strict Honduras Covid-19 restrictions in-effect, none of us were to be on the road traveling because of the shutdown.  So we stopped by the police station to turn ourselves in and share what God had told us to do.  Our God-sized purpose was to buy enough food to distribute something to every one of the 215 homes on Helene.  The police called ahead and made a path for us to move forward.  When we came to police checkpoints, the pictures of our trucks had been sent ahead so they just waved us through.  Wow, that is God. 

Nothing happens efficiently in Honduras. I had to go to the bank, but it was not my assigned day to go, per the Honduran corvid-19 restrictions. Matilde went with me, explained our situation, and I was moved to the head of the line so I could get funds to buy the food. We purchased the food in record time. Keyna and Alra had called ahead and arranged for our groceries to be bought at wholesale prices and assembled for us to just pick up and pay for. We loaded up the trucks and were done by 10:30 am. I am still in awe how this happened so fast.
