Monte de Horeb Ministries, Inc. welcomes back team leader, Kevin, who brought along all returned friends from this year and one from last year, Aaron and his lovely wife Loree, Matt, and Hahns. These five folks brought servant hearts and ready to do what God had called each one to do go and serve unto the ends of the earth. They also brought light to a family who needed to see Jesus’ light this past week. They blessed Pastora and Anderson as they were blessed. Pastora, mother of three beautiful and loving children Youlany, Melvin, and Anderson. Pastora and her son, Anderson, mute and deaf, age sixteen had a dark cloud sat down on them a few months back but God allowed them both to persevere and get their foundation ready right up to the day the team arrived in Honduras. Pastora and Anderson’s church family came out to help them with the foundation so everyone would be ready to start the home the first day. Pastor Saul is a member of their church and was supportive the entire week making sure Pastora had women there to help her prepare those delicious meals the Honduran staff, Nicholas, Onil, Cesar, and Manuel along with the North American team and Pastora’s children and her brother who drove eight hours to help his sister receive her new home. Kevin shared during devotionals one evening,” I could have been behind a computer all week but instead God allowed me to come here and once again be blessed beyond any words. This family was in a dark place says Kevin and we by being obedient brought light to their darkness.”
As the week unfolded the concern of not being able to communicate with Anderson was very short lived. Anderson’s smile was a contagious joy for everyone on this project. He brought a ray of sunshine each day. As several of the North American gentlemen shared even with his disabilities he out worked everyone around him. He was going to build his mother a home she would be proud to call home. Matt shared how he felt “misplaced” working beside Anderson. His disabilities were not obvious according to his job performance. He would observe what others would be doing and he would fall in and get it done, whatever the task!!!! We all have many excuses why we cannot do something but once you have been around Anderson you wonder why you cannot do anything God puts in front of you. Because Anderson stepped up the bar for amazing work ethics. Also, the men were trying to keep up with Loree who worked hard for Jesus this past week. Put her and Anderson together sifting sand and you better keep up because they were getting the job done. This entire team blended beautifully within MDHM staff as they all became one family.
Of course this home got built as always. Hahns prayed over the first block, the cornerstone, like Jesus Christ is our Cornerstone. Hahns shared on the first day, “we are moving too fast and getting it done too quickly. Please slow down time God, let us enjoy the beauty of this culture and our friends YOU have put us here to work with.” I shared with Hahns it always goes by way too fast when you are serving our Lord and Savior.
Each evening the team brought to God moments special words about Anderson and his mother Pastora. How much they learned as each day unfolded. They came prepared to have open hearts and eyes to what God had in stored for them. They learned several awesome cultural things this week, “Banga” is not a person’s name but a command of come I need help. There was a pulperia right across the street from the project where people would go to the window and say “Banga” needing someone to come take their order be it a drink, cookies, or chocolate bananas. Chocolate bananas were another cultural treat they all learned about. Loree was especially excited; she got fruit and chocolate all in one after lunch one day. Aaron connected will with Anderson during the week and learned how nothing is impossible with God. God is always there to lead and guide us. Aaron saw brotherhood and of course sisterhood this week as the home was going up. This team brought unity to this week as they all worked hard together. Kevin led by example as he pushed through to the end daily. He saw and it got done. Kevin got sandwiched between Onil and another workhorse named Alex but Kevin hung right in there with them as poor old Aaron was pushing blocks and mud to them as quickly as he could. Matt and Hahns along with Loree worked with Melvin and Pastora’s brother keeping that mescal coming and still had plenty of time for some great fellowship with their Honduran friends. This was a well-blended week for all. Another cultural gift was the team was taught how to make Honduran coffee because they shared how delicious their cup of coffee was at the end of each day. Aaron was excited to learn this new skill to take back home with him. They also got blessed with a bowl of garrbo soup, thanks to Nicolas who killed the garrobo with a rock.
As the week was going by way too fast and it was time to dedicate the home, Hahns approached and said thank you for sharing their beautiful culture with the team this week. The delicious meals daily and the fellowship which went along with it. Hahns read out of Joshua 24:14 “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” Aaron stepped up to present the Bible with words of encouragement to read the Word daily and to grow continuously as a Christian family, even in the hard times. Matt stepped up to present the key with scripture read out of Philippians 4:7, “And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, shall guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” We all gathered around the home as Kevin closed out our time with a prayer over the home and how God will carry us through in our daily lives as this home will be a beacon, a light, for all who come and go. Afterwards, Loree shared with Pastora how well she had done in raising her children to be kind and have servant hearts. She should be so proud of all of them as they worked so hard together this past week. Pastora with tears said “Gracias”
This servant team worked on the ministry campus on their last day helping Mike and staff with putting concrete in the garage. They loaded the back hoe with rocks to take out on the main road to fill in all the holes from so much rain. They even got to make Nahun happy with a few games of co****le after lunch. Anyone reading this knows who the champion was but we all had fun and laughed as he kept beating us. Worship service Friday as always was very special as Pastor Saul invited Pastor Reniz to preach. He is our neighboring pastor in Pavana. This was a wonderful service. Pastor Reniz preached from Acts 10:1-6 and Romans 10:9-11. Hahns got to see the family whom he helped build a home for back in July. They have been coming faithfully since July to the Friday night worship services. And they are continuing to have monthly worship services in their front yard. This is our sister church in Fray Lazaro.
Thank you all for coming to serve beside Monte de Horeb Ministries. Thank you for the joy, the love, the servant hearts, and the willing spirits that filled this campus this past week. God bless you all!!!!! God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

Monte de Horeb Ministry built another home this week for Denis, Alma, Estephani, and Jose. But this story is a little different in that the team had to cancel to many different health issues with most of their team. This church family Faith Chapel Baptist Church has an amazing group of children and young people in their church. First the last home we built for the eight children were built by this church’s Awana Program, led by Issac, Joshua, and Jazzy. In case some of you do not know about Awana it is a Bible based program teaching elementary age children about Jesus and how to serve Him in their community and around the world.
Now this past week, Jazzy, nineteen year old after coming in May was raising money to build another home. After MDHM heard the team was not coming we asked Jazzy if we could go ahead and build their home even though they could not come. Her answered was, “Absolutely, this was what the money was raised for to provide a family a home.” Thank you Faith Chapel Baptist Church for raising up some strong young people in your church and teaching them in early years about serving others.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come unto me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

Monte de Horeb Ministries welcomes back Pastor Matty for his seventh year of leading pastor conferences for the pastors, leaders of the church and this year even teenagers and young children attended. He brought back with him Pastor Jeff and Pastor Robbie who have helped him for about four to five years. These three gentlemen are the creators of the seminary classes MDHM supports here in southern Honduras. These three young men stay busy for MDHM all year long and we are all forever grateful.
This year they arrived with a new opportunity for all three of them. They helped start on the first day of a construction project for a family of eight children who recently lost their mother. These three men enjoyed sifting the sand, mixing the mescal, laying the block, and getting to know MDHM staff better and enjoy the culture of the Honduran people. Pastor Robbie had the privilege to pray over the first block, reflecting on the cornerstone being Jesus Christ and this home will be built from this first block, the cornerstone of this home where Jesus will protect and keep this home strong for many years to come. At lunch Pastor Matty did a devotional for everyone out of Haggai 1 about collecting the timber to build the temple and how the people worked together to make this happen. He shared with the family how he had observed the unity of this family working hard to make this home in memory of their mother who died a month ago. To God be the glory for this time these three men had with this family.
Now to why they came and how this pastor conference unfolded into one of the most amazing three days we could have ever asked for. Praise God for Pastor Saul who worked so hard with all the logistics and preparing to translate as well. Thank you to a young lady named Jenny who also participating in the translations of the classes. The different topics were from the book of Joshua, the book of Daniel, Doctrine of Man, Election, and the Salvation Discourse in John 3. The pastor conference had over ninety students aging from eight years old up to seventy years old. After the end of the conference we were able to sit around and discuss some of the conversations in some of the classes. The three pastors were so excited about the more engaged conversations this year than ever before. The Honduran people trust these three men with their knowledge of God’s Word and how they present it. These three gentlemen prepare months out to get ready for this three day conference. They also must send their materials to our own personal translator back in the states, thank you Erin, who gets the materials translated so MDHM can them make the copies of the materials into a binder.
On the first day they gather for lunch before making their way to the chapel to start their sessions. There are two sessions which last about one hour or so depending on the topic they are discussing and learning about. Because of the many folks attending they keep the biggest number in the chapel and the smaller number into one of the classrooms. The teachers rotate out of the rooms. They provide a detail schedule for their students. This event is well orchestrated and organized clearly for everyone. Thank you Pastor Matty, Pastor Jeff, and Pastor Robbie for how well you have put this conference together not only this year but every year.
Friday evening the ninety people joined MDHM chapel ministry for worship service. It was beautiful hearing those people praising the Lord in songs and worship. Pastor Saul brought the message on Matthew 14:13-21. The family who the ministry built the home for this week joined us Friday evening as well. So many God moments in church that evening. Pastor Saul had a mixture of hymns and praise music throughout the evening. There were many specials during the evening as well.
Mike and I got to join in on the final sessions on Saturday morning. It warms my heart to see these precious people so engaged on learning more about how to teach the Word to their own people. Because once they leave they take it back to their church families and spread even further than the ninety!!!! Pastor Robbie closed out the week with a message from Joshua 1:1-9. Closing he encouraged us all to be strong and courageous because it does not matter what is going on in our lives, God is always with us and will always take care of us if we have the Faith in Him as believers.
The time had come which everyone is excited about. Each student receives a Certificate of completion of their time of listening and learning all they could in these three days of classes. It is such a very special time of the week seeing church families praising each other as each person comes forward to receive a much earned Certificate. Thank you all once again for all the hard work put into this pastor conference and MDHM appreciates you more than any words could ever say!!!!! Until next year. Love ya’ll and God bless

Monte de Horeb Ministries had a dual project week. First project was funded by Faith Chapel Baptist Church Awana’s led by Joshua, Issac and Jazzy. The other project was an annual Pastor Conference which meets this week every year for the last seven years. Both projects are very special so I am sharing two different posts with just a little overlap in each one. Pastor Matty, Pastor Jeff, and Pastor Robbie arrived on Monday and offered to help build eight children a home on day one, Tuesday. The home was funded by the Awana group from Faith Chapel Baptist Church. So let me explain to you how all this came together this week and at this time. God’s plan is always perfect in timing.
Beginning of September there was supposed to be a home built for a mother and her five adult children and three grandchildren. Our construction leader, Nicholas contacted the mother on Thursday evening prior to her home being built on Tuesday. Nicholas was getting the information needed for the materials to be delivered. He shared how excited she was to finally get a home for her family. He said the excitement in her voice was so beautiful. On Friday morning the mother passed away. First time in our sixteen years this has happened. So, we postponed the building of the home to give the eight children time to grieve. So, this week was the first availability to construct the home. After picking up the three pastors on Monday, we headed out with our four construction staff to make this dream come true. We showed up to a family united to build their mother’s home and this is exactly what they did.
We were concerned about there being enough help this week to find out all the children minus the three year old pinched in to make this dream come true. The mother’s sister and nephew showed up each day to help build this home. As we got to the point on the first day to pray over the first block, Pastor Robbie, had the honors of this special moment. He shared about Jesus Christ being the Cornerstone just like this first block is the cornerstone of this home. How a home is built on a firm foundation and this first block represents the rest of the blocks going after it. It makes it a secure and safe place to call home because Jesus will be at the center of it. This family worked with joy in their hearts to build their mother’s home. We did not know their mother Ortensia, but she has raised a fine group of young people she called her children. They aged from 26 down to 17 years old. This family is a strong tight family. They take care of each and do whatever it took this week. The aunt was the leader of the mescal mixing. She kept everyone on task and got each day’s task completed in a timely fashion. MDHM staff workers had plenty of help and God blessed this whole week to completion. At lunch time Pastor Matty shared a devotional out of the book of Haggai about building the temple and being unified which is what he saw in the family the one day he got to work with them.
The day comes to dedicate the home. Now remember we got a pastor conference which started on Thursday so the Honduran staff dedicated the home to the eight children on Friday. Mike and I slipped away to go be apart of the home dedication. Nicholas started out by thanking them all for working so hard for their mother and she would be so proud of each of them. But what warmed my heart how he reflected on the first block and it being their Cornerstone. Wow, how amazing the words flowed from Nicholas’ mouth about this home being a home where Jesus will be the head of the home and protect them all daily. Our new staff member, Manuel steps up to present the Bible to the family and simply said four words, “Read this Bible daily.” Manuel turned around and went back into the group. Cesar stepped up to present the key and read scripture out of Matthew 7:27 “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his home on the rock.” O’Nil came forward and asked everyone to place their hands on the home as he closed it out in a prayer of dedication after he spoke words of encouragement to the children of Ortensia. At the end of the service, we invited the family to join us in church Friday night and they all were able to come. To God be the glory for this amazing week of two projects coming together as one and a group of children from Awana’s program at Faith Chapel Baptist Church making this dream come true.

MDHM welcomes back The Church at Clayton Crossing led by Randy who has been nine times to serve beside the Honduran people. He brought back with him Darwin and his wife Jeanette who translated for the team this past week. Randy brought four new brothers along to serve with him Pastor Sam, Doug, Ryan, and Sean. This team came prepare not only to build Roberto (Amado) Greysi, Marie, and Roberto’s two children a home but to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Before arriving in Honduras at the Miami airport the team was able to reach out to someone hurting because he had just lost his father. Randy prayed over this gentleman before boarding the plane to head to Honduras.
The first day Pastor Sam prayed over the first block as the team moved forward with five courses and two doors in place. After lunch Pastor Jose Luis gathered his plant church family around fifty people for a devotional led by Randy and translated by Darwin. People kept coming until every chair was filled to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Doug shared how this was so beautiful to see people continue to come down the dirt road to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. At the end of the devotional Randy offered anyone who wanted to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior to step forward. Pablo and Dana received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. On the following day a lady with three disabled children arrived to ask for prayers as Jeanette spent time encouraging her and praying over her three disabled children.
The day of dedication came quickly for this team. They gathered in front of the home as Sam thanked them for their hospitality. Doug presented the Bible and Ryan handed their key to their new home. They gathered around the home as Randy prayed over the home to close out an amazing week.
Sunday morning Pastor Sam brought God’s word about everyone in this world has problems but God is our only hope. Darwin translated for Pastor Sam, as his wife, Jeanette was in the Sunday School classrooms telling a Bible story about God’s beautiful creation and they colored a picture afterwards. Ryan shared his God moment in church on Sunday morning was seeing Amado and Ada holding hands in church. Now they have a home where they can raise their children and share the gospel with their children and their community. A home where they will be safe and secure. Back a year ago this family lost their stick home to a fire. The stick home burned to the ground. Pastor Jose Luis reached out to his friend Pastor Saul to see if MDHM could provide this family a home. This was an answered to this family’s prayer a year ago almost. They were living in a make shift home while waiting for this day to come. Thank you The Church at Clayton Crossing for providing the means for this family to get blessed with a home. To God be all the glory amen y amen.

MDHM welcomes back Catalyst Richland Church. This is the first time this church has brought a team just from this church family and we welcome them. Pastor Chris led a strong team ready to serve. He brought along all first timers including his son Tristen, others were Jacob, Sean, Amanda, Melissa, and Nicole. They came to build a home but found out they were able to do so much more. There was a lot of first time events taking place this week, working together in unity as a team, worshiping outside under beautiful mango trees, Nicholas playing the guitar at VBS, the team singing the chorus to “Open the Eyes to My Heart Lord” in Spanish as Pastor Chris on Sunday preached for the first time but he correlated the song to a sermon from John 9:1-12, and enjoying the Day of the Children at worship service Friday evening. Tristen was able to play his favorite sport futbol with all the Honduran boys on the futbol field (soccer field). They learned a lot of new adjectives during this week, teamwork, JOY, splendid, joyful times, humbleness, bonding, and sense of community. They learned what it truly means to sacrificially giving meant by their delicious meals they ate each time provided by the family of Roni. This was MDHM’s first time visit to Lo Copal and this team represented MDHM very well. This week was also the first time twenty children heard about Jesus Christ and learned the song “Jesus Loves Me.” Nicholas shared this with me on the last day as he sat and chatted with me. Can you imagine never hearing Bible stories such as the Creation and the Salvation story? There are so many children and adults all over the world who need to hear about the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior!!!!! Thank you Amanda, Tristen, Melissa, and Nicole for a job well done in sharing the gospel with these young children. The VBS team played soccer with one of the children in the community’s soccer ball. Melissa and Tristen overcame fears of heights and of chickens this past week. These folks left their fears at home and was truly at the center of God’s will this week. Some came with health issues which were not there when they arrived in Honduras. God removed all barriers from this team this week for them to serve to their full potential. To God be the glory for all this week unfolded for this team who prepared their hearts and their minds in advance for this week God set aside for them. It was a joy to serve beside each of you this past week. Thank you Catalyst Richland for sending MDHM an amazing team!!!!! Amen y amen.

Monte de Horeb Ministries Inc. welcomes back an eighteen year old veteran coming to Honduras to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the Honduran people. Bobby is from Forest Lake Baptist Church, he brought along with him a longtime friend and pastor who has been to Honduras ten times, Pastor Wayne from East End Baptist Church, return friend Pastor George making his fourth return to share the gospel from Chase Baptist Church, one new friend Pastor Juan from Alpha and Omega Baptist church and return friend Miranda from Stillwater Baptist Church. These five people came prepared with Bibles in their hands to share the sweetest gift of all, salvation in Jesus Christ, an eternal home where God is preparing a place for if you only say yes.
This week they had twenty nine salvations, one being a fifteen year old young man who was also in church Sunday morning and around seven rededications. They visited a lot of people who said, “I am not ready”, “I have got to get my life straighten out”, “Today is not the day” and it goes on and on with excuses of why these people did not want to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior when He died a brutal death, went to the grave and arose on the third day and walked the earth one more time before ascending into Heaven. Why would you not want to live out your life in complete obedience to the One who laid down His life for you. We are all sinners saved by God’s mighty grace and mercy. He loves us with an unconditional agape love that we cannot even wrap our heads around. We can open our hearts and receive Him through all the darkness we encounter on this earth. We are not promised tomorrow to wait to get it all together like so many people shared this week. We will never be ready no matter how hard we try. Jesus Christ is the only One who can save us from eternal hell. Do you today have this personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Do you know him not with head knowledge but with heart knowledge? Has he brought you out of the darkness into the light? Do you wake up daily knowing if you would to die today where your eternal home will be? Do you live out your life for Him or for yourself? Do you have a Bible that gathers dust on a shelf? Do you go to church thinking this is your ticket to Heaven and live in the world the other six days? These are just a few questions asked to the folks this week.
They were able to meet a lot of Christians in this community this week. They said they just quit going to church and never started back. But were very gracious and asked for prayers for good health, a job, food and for their families. The team had one Christian lady who prayed over them which was very refreshing for the team. Everywhere they turned a home was sharing water bags to quench their thirst. The people in this community were very welcoming to the North Americans. This week Pastor Saul translated for one team and O’Nil was with the other team. Every afternoon after a delicious hot plate lunch provided by the church family the five people would gather in the church for VBS translated by Pastor Saul who sang with the children prior to the Bible story being told. Each day was a different story, “The Creation Story”, “Daniel and the Lion’s Den”, “David and Goliath”, “Noah’s Ark” and “Jonah and the Whale.” After the story the children colored a picture and later taught the North Americans some of the games they liked to play. The North Americans borrowed Pastor Wayne’s walking stick one day to play the limbo. We are enjoying increasingly more just spending time with these beautiful children and enjoying what makes them happiest.
This week took a new twist for the team. Our construction team is looking for homes to build now for people who have no one to truly help them. They found three I believe this week which had their documents for properties. So, the North American team not only shared the gospel of hope they shared a physical hope for these families because when it rains they get very wet.
There was one lady who they visited was a Christian, but she could not read. She shared with the team how every evening before going to bed she opens her Bible (that she cannot read) and lays her hands over it and prays to God her Heavenly Father. She feels the Spirit of the Lord coming off the pages of her Bible. Each morning when she wakes up she makes sure she dusts her Bible to keep it clean. How many Christians out there today reading this has many Bibles on your bookshelves gathering dust? I challenge you after reading this to please take the gift of reading and the gift of God’s Word you can freely read anytime and open the Bible in your lap and glean in His Word. Your life as a Christian will be forever changed by the Spirit that dwells within you.
Friday evening worship had over one hundred people praising and worshiping our Lord and Savior at Monte de Horeb Chapel. We had a guest church come from over an hour away and the pastor shared the message out of Romans 10:9-10 which is what this team has been doing all week, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior. On Sunday morning we gathered one more time with our friends as Pastor Wayne, age 78, shared an amazing message from Psalm 1:3 “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf shall not wither; and whosever he doth shall prosper.” Pastor Milka shared how many of the people who were visited came to worship service on Saturday evening. To God be the glory. Thank you Pastor Wayne for your inspiring word from God. How we need to be rooted, grounded, inside and outside like a tree that is planted and water. We need to grow just like a tree grows. It was a beautiful message and one we all needed to hear to encourage to be bold for Jesus. If we have salvation in Jesus Christ today, are you excited about it!?!? If not get excited about your salvation in Jesus Christ. It is truly something to get excited about!!!!!!! Thank you all for such another amazing week going door to door sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. What a great revival we had this week. To God be the glory!!! God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
