FRANKFORT HONDURAS MISSION 2024 DAY 1

This is the Frankfort Honduras Mission Team report from Tegucigalpa for Saturday, February 17, 2024.  The word of the day is FAST.  The related scripture comes from Isaiah 58:6-7, and says, “Is not this the fast that I choose: to lose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?  Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter — when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?”  This passage uses “fast” as a noun rather than the usual use as an adjective which describes rapidity of movement.  We were certainly fast today in the sense of flying rapidly in an airplane to Honduras but were not avoiding food.  We are, however, fulfilling the spirit of the fast when we care for the downtrodden and poor.  That is our goal this week, to live out the Great Commandment (Matthew 25:40, caring for the less fortunate) as we minister to the needs of indigent Hondurans and offer them the message of salvation.  I apologize for the late posting of this update, but we were all very fatigued from travel last evening.  The travel to Honduras went well but was extraordinarily fatiguing for all.  The time between the first flight into Honduras landing and the last was three hours.  The first flight was United from Houston, and the second flight was American from Dallas.  The last was an American flight from Miami.  It was time for supper by the time we reached the Humuya Inn, so we did little but have dinner, unpack, have a brief meeting and devotion, then retired to our comfortable beds.  Our supper was prepared when we arrived at the inn, and the great chicken fajitas were enjoyed by all.  We really appreciate the support and prayers from those of you at home.  So far, everyone is healthy and has a very positive attitude.  We can’t wait get setup on Monday and see patients the remainder of the week.  Blessings to all of you, Roger
