Our latest trip into Honduras this year in July was one of the most momentous. We were there for 14 days and had 20 meetings with pastors, leaders and churches and also had an opportunity to be on international radio, thanks to Bro. Miguel from Tegucigalpa. It was a blessing. God was ministering the whole time we were there on the subject of faith. Beginning with agreement that God is true, into a knowing, a confidence and trust in God and going on to a continuance in faith to walk in Him and with Him through our everyday circumstances. The teachings on FAITH were the key for these meetings, and it seem to awaken the people into a directive of their lives and how they should live. The Lord had given our daughter Darlene a song from the 27th Psalm before we left on the trip, and upon arriving it was translated into Spanish. “THE LORD IS OUR LIGHT AND OUR SALVATION, OF WHOM SHALL WE FEAR? THE LORD IS THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE: OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID?” This song took every church in Honduras by storm and they kept singing and singing it. It was wonderful. We also ministered on the renewing of the spirit of the mind, and it was a challenge to those who heard and could grasp the importance of faith and obedience to the Word of God for that change in the mind to take place. What information we give our minds helps to form us and brings us along that path of life, whatever it be -God centered or self-centered.

First we went to La Lima, to Iglesia Piedras Vivas Liderazgo, a church we have been knowning for years and who have blessed us over the years. We ministered to their pastors and leaders. The EMUNA Ministry School in San Pedro Sula was a gathering of many from San Pedro and other places to hear the Word of God. Onward to La Ceiba to the Kayros Ministery where we have had input for years, plus we ministered in two other churches in that area. In the one church, Iglesia Rosa de Saron, the Lord moved in mighty signs of healing. A testimony: Kayros ministry had fasted and prayed for 40 days, as we prophesied what the Lord called for in November 2005. The pastor’s wife had contracted malaria and was very sick, and at the end of the church fasting of 40 days she was much better. The land, which the church was sitting on, was not going to be sold to Kayros, but after the fast the owner came and said he changed his mind, and now negotiations are in the making. Praise the Lord! We tell the story of Helen on this trip; how she was delivered from demons after her family had taken her to a witch so that she could sleep at nights. After we ministered to Helen, she was able to sleep, praise the Lord. Also, there was a little beauty shop where Darlene played her guitar and sang Spanish, Christian songs to the little beauticians and soon the whole shop was singing including the man who was getting his haircut. We enjoyed that. There was a baby dedication up at La Cuesta as part of the service, and it was good to see the families (old friends) who had come down from the mountains just to be with us. These were “The Followers of Jesus Christ”. Many folks received the baptism of the Holy Spirit over this period of time in Honduras. The ministry to the pastors association in Comayagua concerned the need to know and separate some things that they had been hearing that was wrong in doctrine, including the discussion about the man who claims to be Jesus Christ and has a big following in the Latin American countries. There was a time for questions and answers. Then there is the story of those who knew us when they were children and are now grown up; one had even been singing one of Rene’s songs for years, and he said it was a blessing to him; he then began to sing the song in English. It touched our hearts. The churches of Camino Nuevo had fasted and prayed for 40 days in Nov. 2005 and the Lord moved mightily through them. They now are going to praise and worship the Lord 24 hours around the clock for one week. That should be an experience, and it also teaches discipline. This worship principle was actually done in Bangor, Ireland, when the Celtic Monks sang to the Lord for 240 years continually.

US ARMY MEDICAL TEAM AT COMAYAGUA

At Comayagua seven churches came together and soon folks started pouring into the main church, well over 750 people. Darlene sang her song and everyone was singing it, including our US military that sat on the front row. Yes, we had in the congregation men and women from the US Army medical teams in Honduras who help the Honduran people with free operations, baby deliveries, binding up wounds, building schools and highways. They were a fine Christian group from the US and when we said Bro. John had been in the US Navy for over 3 years, they all clapped -what a moment. We were able to pray for them personally at the end of the service. We were just blessed to be there.

Our last stop was Tegucigalpa, where we were with one of the Camino Nuevo churches, which have a lovely team of worship. The last Sunday we were with Pastor Miguel’s home church, where the Lord prophesied to a professor of agriculture, that the ground in Honduras would be fruitful and flourish under the direction of the Lord. Carrots would be huge, along with other crops enough to feed many. The Lord would show the professor how to unlock the gardens of the earth. This is something to pray about.

And last, the last two meetings in the home in Tegucigalpa where the Lord showed me (Rene) the vision of that home over 24 years ago. Old friends came to these meetings and we delighted in seeing them. We can’t forget our old friend Bro. Lazaro, who pulled out John’s book in Spanish of “Faith in the Truth or a Lie.” -it was tattered and soiled, and Bro. Lazaro said he has taught that message in many churches and in the mountains. What a testimony! It was also in that home where the Lord appeared in John’s room and told him that Rene was to be his wife. See www.sonriseministries.net for that story. We have had years of ministry in that home but seasons change and the home is to be sold. We now wait for more directions of the Lord.

So after this wonderful trip, we look forward again to the return trips into Honduras, for we are sure they will still continue. Amen!
