Amidst the Turmoil: Joy
Category: General

Honduras is experiencing some difficult political times. Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras, fills our daily news with political problems.


Recently, presidental candidate, Pepe Lobo, visited La Esperanza, landing his helicopter on our church property.
Even though our world would prefer to tell us otherwise, trying to keep our eyes focused on the bad or evil, our God is still worshipped and adored!
Since 1989, the last Sunday in September has been celebrated as the "Day of the Bible". Honduras' national congress decreed the Holy Scriptures as a principal guide for Christians in Honduras.
On September 27th, 2009 our "More Than Conquerors Church" families left the daily norm...
...and took to the streets to express their love of God and His Holy Word.
Our church joined many other churches of La Esperanza to declare our faith to the whole city's population.
Our voices rang out praises as we walked the one and one-half miles from the entrance of town to the downtown city square.
The moms and youth of our church worked hard to prepare Noah's arc.
Several of our church members walked the parade for the first time. Church leaders Ronney and Claudia, picured to the right of Bob, testified their faith to the La Esperanza community as they marched in the parade.
"Of my 37 years of being a Christian, this is the first Day of the Bible parade that I have participated in", said Fatima (dressed in black and white).
Community members leaned over their home or business balconies allowing us to greet them and encourage them in their faith walk.
The men from our church's drug and alcohol rehabilitation program carried high the banners of Jesus. Many of our city's police force observed the parade as they assisted us. Others had a bird's eye view from the walls of our city's prison.
Contemporary Christian music, Biblical encouragement as well as the preaching of God's Word rang through the downtown area as all the parade participants shared in a street service.
God is very clear in His word. He says "Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession" Psalms 2:8. Join with us in asking God to give us all of La Esperanza for his inheritance - salvation from sin now, and eternal life with Him forever.
