New Adventure for Deep Run West- May 18-27, 2013

A group is ready and packed for San Pedro Sula and the Gracias a Dios community--this time the team is from Deep Run West. There are 16 of us, organized by group leaders Laura and Phil Heacock (their second trip). The core of the group is 8 young adults, a dedicated, hardworking, passionate bunch that are eager to help and learn in Honduras. I can't wait to see how their eyes will be opened and how God will bless their willingness to serve, show love to the poor and make new friends in Honduras. The youth worked very hard on fundraising, collecting donations and everyone's favorite task, packing pills! In addition to the youth, the chief entertainment will be Pastor Rodger Schmell:-) Looking forward to fun times with many laughs between our tasks of sharing medicine and construction skills with smiles and tears. We are looking forward to worshipping in Pastor Juan's new church, Iglesia Principe de Paz, with the loving congregation there. In addition to the medical clinics each day, there are two construction projects- a classroom for computer classes at El Cipres and a new home for a needy family in the Gracias a Dios community. ........................... Prayer points for our trip: 1) Travel safety and good health (the cipro is packed too) 2)Team unity and everyone feeling comfortable in their tasks 3)Healing and no pain for Dinora who needs surgery for gall stones, but is too busy helping us to address 4)Enough medicine to provide for needs we encounter 5)Wisdom for the two nurses, Laura and Tanya 6) Construction projects to go well 7)Blessings to flow from Rodger's preaching at Pastor Juan's church this Sunday evening.......Look for blog updates starting on Saturday...............Gracias for all the support, prayers and donations- DRW Team: Laura and Phil Heacock, Rodger and Diana Schmell, Cindy Kramer, Tanya Wambold, Tim,Caleb and Kylee Schmell, Taylor Britt,Amanda and Jake Wismer, Becca Warnke, Ami Dansereau, Bob Moyer and Barb Rice
