It has been a blessing to return to Honduras and see how the church here in Choluteca is doing. The new Shalom church continue to visit and lead the groups at "7 de Mayo", "San Jeronimo", "La Cuchilla", and "La Bonanza". Chacho and Jorge are the two members of our church who drive the people out to the villages for services. We were also blessed to have Tom and Ellen Dunbar, retired from WGM, return for a couple of months to help with the ministry in the region. The Shalom church has about 75 people who regularly attend. The men's group on Sunday morning has grown to an attendance of about 15. The women decided they could not be left behind, so they started a women's group on Sunday morning, too. The worship leaders have now started a devotional time on Monday nights. Praise the Lord for the growth we see in this group of believers!
