Hello All!

I leave for Siguatepeque, Honduras at 8 am from Atlanta. I will be there from March 5th to March 15th. I am going with my friend Joanna, who was my roommate two years ago when I spent a summer school session there. Joanna's father has an organization called World Harvest Missions, and more specifically, Christian Community in Honduras (CCH). We will be staying with her Honduran sister, who was adopted by her parents, at their house. They have built Joanna her own apartment. Joanna has started a program for three street kids to create their own business, and so gain a small income. So far she has taught them some business skills and has challenged them to come up with some ideas of how to sew awning cloth in order to sell it. More on that later. I will be going to document some of this project, as well as tape some oral narratives of the people through digital storytelling. Basically I will be finding out the stories of the people's lives in order to make them and us more aware of how to improve their life. There is also a group going in conjunction with CCH to continue giving out Christmas boxes to the children there. Joanna tells me that we will most likely be visiting a new villiage everyday, and we will also be doing construction work. I will try to keep this blog updated as much as possible to inform you of all of the happenings. I would like to include a prayer list everyday as well. Thank you all for your interest!

Pray Today:

Pray for Joanna, me, and all involved as we prepare mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for our trip. Pray that God would give us all of the ammo we need to do good works for him.
Pray that we will be recieved well and that the people will understand what we are trying to do.
Pray that translation barriers will be crossed, and that there will be minimal problems.
Pray for our health and safety.
