Simple Matters

The August mission team had a blast in Camp Betel and Tegucigalpa in Honduras! Twenty-seven people went on the trip and served on four different teams. Many of them had never been to Honduras, and all of us came back changed. The unity of the group from the very beginning was amazing - that, and what was accomplished over the week, can only be attributed to God!

* The Medical Team saw 507 patients in 4 days!! Dr. Antonio, who holds the medical clinic at Camp Betel each month, served as the doctor. The team was at Camp Betel for 2 days and in the city at a church called Renacer for another 2 days. The team was as blessed by the patients as the patients were by them! Patients received medications such as vitamins, Tylenol, Tums, amoxicillin, high blood pressure medication, allergy relief medication, and parasite medication. They even prescribed reading glasses!
* The Women's Ministry Team worked with the women of Camp Betel in sewing. For 2 days, the women worked on curtains to go in the new medical clinic and children's center. The women were so enthusiastic about sewing and excited to make new things!
* The VBS Team worked with the children at the Camp and also with children at Emmanuel Church, in Tegucigalpa. Those kids latched on to the team members and did not want to let go!
* The Construction Team painted the new medical clinic building a lovely shade of pink, and there was just one injury (of running into the roof)! Because of their hard work, the building will have a welcoming feel and more people can be served by the clinic.

Over the next few months, you will be hearing stories from the August team. Each person has a different story to tell, and a different perspective. We pray you will be blessed by our experiences in Honduras, and that our passion and love for the people will shine through them.
