THE FRANKFORT HONDURAS MEDICAL-DENTAL MISSION

Today is Friday January 10, 2020, day 1 of our mission trip this year.  The word of the day today is SEND.  The related scripture comes from Isaiah 6:8 which says: And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send and who will go for us?”  The I said, “Here I am, send me!”  Today, twenty-five missions got up about 3 AM   and said, “Send me!”  We got on planes from Lexington, Louisville, Austin, and Omaha and traveled to Tegucigalpa, Honduras to proclaim God’s word through the ministries of improving vision, health and teeth.  God seemed to be with us today as we had no major problems.  Our Honduran friends, particularly Sebastian and Karla were glad to see us.  After a quick lunch, some of our group worked on the necessary shopping and medications while others, including most of the new folks, went on a tour to see Honduran culture.  We saw Tegucigalpa’s extensive farmer’s market, the soccer stadium, the downtown area and the cathedral built in the 1780’s.  After a dinner of traditional Honduran food, we had a devotion by Dr. Farley and mission planning by our leader, Jim Burris.  We are all tired and will hopefully be refreshed tonight to prepare more for the upcoming mission tomorrow.  Your prayers are appreciated.  Please click here for some photos:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/167537108@N03/albums/72157712613504377

Have a great day!  Roger

Today is Thursday, January 9, 2020, one day before this year’s mission trip.  This update is being sent out as a trial to see how well our system of notification works and how well the updates post to the website/blog.  I want to let you know that packing day, this past Sunday, went extremely well.  Most missioners, particularly the new ones, were present and all necessary packing was accomplished with great efficiency.  The team is excited about this opportunity to serve God in the Ciudad Espana community of Honduras and to reconnect with our Honduran friends.  As I write this, our leader and mentor, Jim Burris, is already in Tegucigalpa preparing for our arrival.  He tells me that our friends in Honduras are in good health and spirits and look forward to our arrival.  Please find attached three images of the packing done on Sunday and continue to pray for our success.  Roger

This is to introduce the new web site and blog of the Frankfort Honduras Medical-Dental Mission Team. The goal is to have this site up and running enough that the daily updates from the upcoming trip in January 2020 can be posted to and viewed from this site. Welcome all and please let me know if you have suggestions. Roger

This blog is being established in time for the January 10, 2020 departure of the mission group for Tegucigalpa for this year’s mission to Ciudad Espana. As usual, untold hours of preparation have gone into this with many meetings and emails. The time spent in preparing the trip by Jim Burris and Mary Ann Burch is phenomenal and many others have spent almost as much. Debbie Brown has given her heart and soul to organize the Frosty 5K for fundraising and Cleland White has spent untold hours keeping up with our finances. Certainly, we could not do this without such talented and committed team members.

One of the main reasons for setting up this site is to have a forum to post updates while we are in Honduras so that all can see what we are doing on a daily basis without having to send out a mass email each day. Additionally, this will serve as an information and communication site for team members and those who are interested in the mission between mission trips. Please pray that it works. More later. Roger
