Hi everyone,
I pray that all is well with all of you. I must apologies to you all because of the lateness of the news of this mission trip. I have been praying for the right opportunity for this trip. I believe we have chosen what God would have us to do. I will be leaving for a pre trip to Honduras to get all the information to get this project done. I would like to bring a large group, similar to the size we took to Peru. The medical team will have its hands full as always, traveling around to different villages in the area. This will require a lot of planning as well as building the Dorcas building, the orphanage and the hospital. I know you don't have a lot of information right now but I will assure you that there is a large blessing awaiting us in the Valle de Angles.
The temperature in this area is perfect, one of the most beautiful parts of Honduras.

I hope to keep the price within the same range as previous trips. Plane fare and transportation cost have increased considerably. but I know that you are all ready to manage this trip financially and spiritually. Please pray for this trip, as I want to serve God according to His will.

We will have to raise about 6,000 for the structure of this building, And between $8,000 and $10,000 to provide medicine, Bibles, VBS supplies and etc. I would hope that some of you could ask your church to help sponsor some of the expenses. Please call or write and let me know your thoughts.

The trip is scheduled around mid February. I hope to have all of you on this trip. Some has already asked about the excursion. I will be working on this on the pre trip but let me tell you two of the options on my mind. We can spit up and one group could travel to San Pedro area where the Mayan ruins are. The Mayan ruins Copan, Honduras are about 2 1/2 hours by air conditioned bus from San Pedro Sula on a beautiful scenic highway. The ruins are in great condition and are a excellent way to see the way the Mayans lived and worshiped over 1000 years ago. It includes not only the ruins, but several museums as well. The hotels are not as fancy as the ones the "beach combers" will be going to, but are quite nice. It will be a pleasant and restful excursion. We would then meet back with the rest of the group and return to the U.S. together. The following are some web sites you can go to and learn more about it.

The second group could possibly travel to Roatan and stay at Fantasy Island, a beautiful resort on the Caribbean with great food, diving, snorkeling, swimming with the dolphins, visiting iguana farms, bird sanctuary etc. This resort is on the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world and is a all inclusive resort.

Again, this is all tentative as of this writing. I hope this sounds as exciting to you as it is for me as I plan this special trip.

The date for our pre trip meeting will be Nov. 5, at 6 p.m. Hope you will join us that day for church and potluck and some time together before our meeting. Let me know if you will need to stay overnight.

Check our website for up to date pictures of the Casa Grande church and playground also Pastor Antero's new baby.

On the website also is an isometric view of the building that we will build in Valle de Angeles.

Please call me as soon as possible to make arrangements for this trip.

Sincerely,
Bob
