Just under 5 months ago, we hired a pastor to begin planting a church in La Fe. Pastor Ovidio began to meet with me regularly to discuss thoughts and plans and theology. Three months ago, we left Honduras to come back to the US for a six-month 'home missionary assignment'. Since we left, the church planting process has continued and is seeing growth! Praise the Lord!

| Pastor Ovidio with his Bible |
My teammate has been meeting weekly with Ovidio to continue mentoring and discipling and training him on what it means to be a pastor and how to shepherd the Lord's flock. The Lord is growing Ovidio's understanding of who He is and how to love Him and the Lord is using Ovidio to reach the community of La Fe! Ovidio has been leading worship services once or twice a week and just last week there were 40 people at one of the services! (We know that numbers do not mean everything, but we can praise the Lord that at least 40 people in La Fe heard God's truth!)

| the new building where the church meets |
Since we left, Ovidio and the church body have been able to build this meager shelter so they have a place to meet and be out of the hot sun and heavy rains. Please pray with me for a deepened relationship with the Lord for Ovidio and wisdom as he leads the body of believers in La Fe. Pray also for Ashley and I as we miss this place and the people so much and that we can trust the Lord to build His church in His timing with His truth!
