Missionaries and Missionary Christians "We never test the resources of God until we attempt the impossible" -- F. B. Meyer "We must do something!
Expect great things from God! Attempt great things for God!"

Short-term Volunteer Mission Projects designed with a clear focus on church
planting in Honduras.
San Lucia, Olancho, Honduras, January, 2003.
You shall be my witnesses . . . to the remotest part of the earth Acts 1:8
edicine -- the magnet that draws people to Christ. God uses medical-dental-evangelism teams to open doors to share Jesus Christ in rural communities in Honduras.
We want to discover
where God is at work, and with His permission get right in the middle of what He is
doing. Several months before the team arrives the Field Director visits the community and gets the cooperation of the school director, teachers, mayor of the town, local pastors, etc. who are responsible for publicity and getting the community to respond to the medical caravan. The most important question: Is God at work in this community? Does He want this team to work here at this time? If there is no clear conviction that God is leading us we do not go to that town with this team.
We must never make an apology
for being in dead earnest about world missions . . . We must not retreat until Jesus
Christ tells us he made a mistake in coming into the world to redeem men.
We conduct around twenty-five worship services during each team visit. Every patient must attend a worship service before he can see a doctor or dentist. On this trip 129 of the 323 adult professions of faith were made in the clinics as doctors, nurses and dentists shared Christ with their patients.
I SAW GOD DO IT
