Our Team

When we arrived here in Honduras almost one month ago, we joined a team. That may not seem important to you, but it is extremely important to us. From day one, we have had friends, people we can trust, help in learning a new city, and experienced missionaries to give us advice when we need it. Since I talk a lot about our teammates on this blog, I thought it may help to 'introduce' them to you.

Kate, John, Kathy, Shannon, Erin, Madison, Mike, Ashley & I
Bekah, Evan, Josiah, Abi

The Pettengills - Mike, Erin, and Madison Pettengill started this team here in La Ceiba about 3.5 years ago. Mike is the team leader and Erin is a nurse. They work mostly in a community called Armenia Bonito.

The Clows - John, Kathy, Abi, Bekah, Josiah and Evan have been in La Ceiba since the spring of 2010. John is in charge of all the construction projects and Kathy heads up the scholarship program. They both do a ton of work with the short-term teams that come in the summer.

Shannon Innes - Shannon has been here since May of last year. She is in the process of starting a home for young single moms.

Kate DeFuniak - Kate arrived here only a month or so before we did. She is working with street children and will be starting a drop-in center for them.

We are so glad that we are working with a team and that we will get to know each of these people a lot over the coming months and years! If you would like more information about them, their blogs are on the side of this page in the 'Friends Blogs' section.
