October Honduras Trips Update

We wanted to update you on the road trip to Honduras. Keep this first team of guys in your prayers, as well as the second team leaving this Sunday.

Team #1 Update
We have dubbed them the "trailblazers" – Donnie Floyd, Marc Brandenburg, Tony Sobers and Bill Hayden – since no matter how hard they have tried, whether via paper maps, MapQuest or Google Earth, there was no way to map out the route. At some point, they will hire a taxi to guide them through one city. They have made it to Tampico, Mexico, and their goal is to make it to the Honduran border Thursday. They will return on October 18 with the second team.

Team #2 Update
Flying out on October 12 are Jeff Bartz, Justin Brown, Eddie Barnes and Ken Jackson. While there this team, along with team #1, will complete the following construction projects on Promise Home Orphanage:

· Wire the remodeled building for lights and power
· Weld the truck gate in the nursery compound
· Hang thegate at entrance by highway
· Run 400 feet of chain link (finish security wall built this summer)
· Install a 600 gallon water system midway up the mountain
· Install four 11 foot culverts on existing roads on the property
· Grade several roads and areas on the property
· Bury brunt African Palm trees in the north meadow
· Use excavator to build a retention wall at the wash-out near the nursery
· Build a concrete drainage ditch from the top of the uphill road to Orlando's creek

Most of these men went to Honduras in August to begin work on the orphanage, so this trip will be an added life-changing experience. Please pray for safety, guidance and protection over them. Pray that God's favor will go before them.

We can't wait to see them on October 18 and hear stories of what God did on this trip.
