This month I worked with Russ McDowell from Richmond VA. (who has been coming on mission trips to Guatemala and Honduras for 15 years) to provide reading glasses to almost 100 children, students and parents at two orphanages and a school for poor children.

  Since many people here are too poor to afford an eye exam and glasses, this makes their studies difficult and hinders their ability to learn.

  My daughters Julia and Audrey assisted me with some of the programs.

  In addition to giving reading glasses we also passed out Gospel tracts and prayed with each person.

  I have also been working with some of the boys from Fundaninos in our carpentry workshop. We are building shelves for the new clinic being setup at the orphanage, as well as some cabinets for the office.

  During my time working with the boys in the workshop we talk about the Lord and discuss carpenters in the Bible. I try to help them understand that God loves them, so they can build a personal relationship with Him.
