As I write, I am sitting on the second floor balcony of the main villa, looking out at the mountains as the sun sets.  The orange glow of the fading sun is beautiful and I am reminded that our time here is also "fading."  That makes me sad because the children (and adults) have truly gotten a piece of my heart.  The children inspire me with their stories of overcoming such tragic young lives and the hope that burns so brightly inside of them because of the love Betsy and her staff give to each child as a member of the Jericho family.  The love of Jesus is all around us.  Today we all worked on different projects -- building cabinets, more painting, making jewelry to sell, making small repairs around the villa, tiling the gazebo roof...and of course, still fighting the Internet to build a new website for Jericho (it will happen...eventually and internet willing).  But mostly we captured moments that will live in our hearts after we return home, and hold us until we return again.  God is good.  -Kyle

Today we shared the Salvation bracelet story with the boys and three of them volunteered to retell the story after they had heard it -- including sweet 4 year old Caleb!

These girls can cook!! What they make in the outdoor kitchen rivals top restaurants anywhere. And they are so gracious and sweet as they prepare food and clean up on their "shift" day.

The prayer gazebo - almost finished!

Making jewelry to send back to the US to be sold to earn some money for Jericho!

Million dollar smiles and hearts full of love.

    Welcome!

    This blog has been created to keep you up-to-date on all of the things God is doing through the team He has sent to Honduras from St. Luke's Church, Hilton Head Island, SC. Sometimes it is difficult for the team to send information to us due to limited access to the Internet. Be assured that all of the latest news will be posted as soon as it is received. We ask that you please keep this mission team in your prayers and be sure to post your comments of encouragement when you feel led.
