HONDURAS TRANSFORMATION PROJECT 4 | <strong>Network</strong> connexions | Spring <strong>2019</strong>
Walk with me. I would like us to take a journey together. It will be one that is challenging and at times will even seem impossible. We are headed straight into the murder capital of the world: Honduras, Central America. A country that places no value on human life – where spiritual darkness ensues. Now, I want to introduce you to those not of the gangs, but bible school students who will be a light in Mike Brown the darkness. These students will be the future pastors and missionaries of the Asambleas de Dios. Imagine you are a student of a bible institute located far from your home in Olancho, Honduras. You have heard that your area has minimal evangelical presence which motivates you to begin your six-hour trek to the bible institute. The journey is too long and arduous to make every day or even weekly. The majority of students have families with children, so you kiss your wife and kids goodbye with the realization that you will not be seeing them for one to two weeks. You embark without food or money; you only carry with you faith, hope and love. After three hours of walking you hitch a ride down river in a canoe. You pause and realize you will be making this journey for the next three years – but love compels you. After a half-day of traveling, you arrive at the bible institute tired and sore, but your passion is strong. You have received word that classes for today will be held in a 6x12 foot backyard. Last week it was in a hallway of a building and the week before the front porch of the local pastor’s house. Classes have ended so you pray and study before going to sleep. Unfortunately, you will have to sleep on the floor of a friend’s house. Last week you had to sleep in the backyard where scorpions and snakes were your bunkmates – doesn’t seem too appealing. Morning comes, you wash in the stream and prepare to look your best for today’s classes. This is the reality for all students attending the current bible institute. There is no building, no classrooms or sleeping quarters. They are not guaranteed food, a bed or hot shower. What compels them is the opportunity to serve in the Kingdom of God. God has given us a vision to see a bible institute building become a reality for these students. They will then have a safe place to study, learn and train for the calling that He has placed on their lives. What we, as missionaries, have seen here are people dedicated to preaching the word of God to their own. We have seen a people receptive and bearing fruit in their own communities. Honduras has the potential to touch the nations and it starts with faith, continues with hope and perseveres with love. Walk with me. I would like us to take a journey together that will transform the country of Honduras. THE HONDURAS TRANSFORMATION PROJECT Mike and Jess Brown Missionaries to Honduras
