2413 Honduras Team

It takes many people for a mission trip to happen, not the least of which are prayer partners. We are thankful for the prayers of Tom, Darcel, Vinny, Lisa, Jamari, Vincent, Melodee, Gary, Adele, Sandy, John, Alice, Sandy, Amy, Brenda and Karin today.

Oh my, were we busy today! There was a full house of people waiting for us when we arrived at 8:30 even though we weren’t opening until 9:00am. We served 167 people, providing 182 pairs of glasses. We provided 35 people with just sunglasses. Total pairs of glasses distributed today with each person receiving sunglasses and/glasses or just sunglasses was 399 pairs. These ladies (above) were excited to receive sunglasses a
