Mission Trip Update


Tim Geisler is part of a group of eight people from Pine City, Hinckley and Cloquet Lutheran Churches (2 pastors, 3 carpenters, 1 nurse and 1 retired couple). The group flew into San Pedro Sula and then were transported by jeeps for two hours to the highlands of western Honduras. A 70 plus year old woman named Delores at the mission is in charge of their daily trips to various remote villages.

Last Tuesday the group built tables, chairs and shelves. Seven of them left Thursday morning for one of the remote villages in the mountains.There they will build desks for the school and beds for the children of the village. They will also distribute school supplies for both the children and teacher.

Dennis (a retired pastor from Cloquet) flew home Thursday, as his wife just learned on Tuesday that she has cancer. Dennis has gone to Honduras for over 20 years and is very fluent in Spanish. Pray for Dennis and his wife. Please also for the team... that things will go smoothly with their interpreters now that Dennis is gone.
