MISSIONARY UPDATE FROM THE HORTON FAMILY:
PRAISES
Tuckerâs Progress
Thank you all for praying for Tuckerâwe were able to get him in to see a childrenâs orthopedic doctor in Denver, Colorado. He got a great report and they were able to remove the cast and pins in his arm. He is doing very well and is quickly gaining back his strength and mobility.
Vehicle Provision
We were able to purchase a vehicle for our family to use in Honduras. The one we were originally praying about purchasing sold, but the Lord blessed us with a much better vehicle at a much better price. It has been very well maintained/taken care of. We are grateful for the Lordâs provision and for everyone who has prayed/given toward this need.
New Little Blessing
We are expecting a new little blessing in January. Our goal was to try and be on the field by the end of this year, but with this addition, we will wait until after the baby is born. This will also allow us to obtain a birth certificate and passport before leaving the country. We are thankful and excited the Lord has blessed us with another precious child to raise for Him.
Deputation/Ministry Opportunities
Since leaving home in early May, we have traveled 9,300 miles, in seven states, sharing about our ministry and the burden the Lord has given us. We are thankful for the opportunities the Lord has given us to serve and be a help and encouragement to pastors and church planters in the Western United States. We have had the opportunity to canvas neighborhoods, assist with nursing home visitation, complete some work/maintenance on church buildings and properties and share the gospel with several people along the way. Lord willing, we will be arriving back home next week.
PRAYER REQUESTS
Please pray for strength and an easy pregnancy for Kelsey as we continue to travel on deputation.
Please pray for a young man named Myles. Myles was a repairman who fixed a flat tire for us. While he was assisting us, I was able to share the Gospel with him. He grew up in church but hasnât been to church in many years. He is lost and knows his need of salvation. He was in tears while I was witnessing to him, but was not ready to be saved yet. Please pray the Lord will continue to work in his heart and that he would be born again soon.
In Honduras, childrenâs services brought a 10 year old girl to the home, who was removed from her family because of abuse. She is at the childrenâs home and adjusting well, considering the circumstances. Please pray for her, that she will come to know the Lord, and that we will be able to financially care for her as well. It takes a minimum of $260 a month to care for each child in the Home. Currently there are 24 kids in the childrenâs home.
We are thankful for the goodness of Godâs people and His provision along the way. He is so good to us and we are so grateful for all His blessings in our lives.
