Dear Friends and Family,
Cynthia and I are excited to announce several big things that God is doing in our lives.
Enjoy the photo journal…
Look closely and you can see little peanut!
First and foremost we are expecting a son!
If everything goes according to plan by early September we will welcome our first baby boy into our family to help in the work that God has given us!
Cynthia’s belly is growing… Clay’s needs to shrink!
Secondly, After 3 wonderful years with the Miqueas 6.8 Children’s home just outside of Cynthia’s home town of El Progreso…

God has opened up doors for us to branch out on our own and become independent missionaries!!

We will continue our work with the extremely impoverished in Honduras, but in an area that is about 6 hours away in a city called Gracias, Lempira.

We will be partnering with a missionary family that has been in the area for 13 years.
Almost all of the Sowers gang.

Cynthia and I will actually be taking over some of the ministries that they have established.
The ministries we will be helping to administrate are:
Pastors Training School
The need is great for pastors to be trained
It is held once a month to formally train rural pastors who otherwise would not have much formal training in ministry.
Hermeneutics- Learning how to read the bible!
The most recent pastors training class was attended by 175 pastors from 15 different denominations.
Synergy taking place with the spreading of the Gospel!!
By teaching pastors the biblical model of the church we can see villages and societies be changed by the power of living rightly.
Prayer meeting breaking out in between classes!
faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
Graduating pastors from the bible school ready to spread the word.
Children’s Feeding Centers:
It looks like they really know how to enjoy their food
By strategically partnering with rural pastors we can provide nutritious meals for impoverished children who may not have them otherwise in villages that we are not able to frequently reach.

Up and away!
Rice meal, beans and fresh tortillas! Hungry yet?
Currently spread across more than a hundred different feeding centers there are more than 10,000 hungry children being fed twice a week all year long both physically and spiritually.
Eat ’em up
Full bellies make happy kids!

Pastors Transportation:
Ready. The Word and wheels!
Many of the rural Honduran pastors that live and work in the remote villages across the mountainous countryside in Honduras must travel several miles to get to the churches.

Many pastors even pastor churches in more than one village and were traveling many miles to get to their congregations each week!

By helping the pastors mobilize we literally help them MOVE the gospel to hard to reach people and villages.

Sometimes a horse or mule is better suited to help rural pastors..
We are so excited to Partner with this amazing ministry and travel down this new road God has for us as a family!
