Christmas Party in Guasaule

Saturday brought Christmas Joy and Hope to the very poor children of a community we serve called Guasaule. The community live on the edge of a river linking the boarders of Nicaragua and Honduras. The children had lots of fun, singing Christian songs, hearing the Hope of Jesus, eating lots of chicken and rice, battering a poor piñata and also the arm of one of team members Jose Carlos! They then received their Christmas presents.. These are the only presents these children receive and they all loved them. This community has been receiving help now for two years through our programme called Child Sponsorship. The children now receive food and education, health care and materials also for their schools. The children have tried so hard and are enjoying learning to read and write. Look through the photos and feel a little of their joy. Thank you to the sponsors of these children for our support and prayer throughout 2009!

King of Glory Church

King of Glory Church came out to Casa Hogar to see the projects and even help out a little bit.
Here they are helping us paint the fence now set up around the orphanage.

Levi, the missionary team director, giving instructions on their tasks for the day.

More painting.

Oscar, the head of the agriculture at Casa Hogar, showed them a little about planting.

They even were able to do some planting in the orphanage.

As a team they worked very hard and we are very thankful for their efforts.

This is our new tractor that members of their church helped to raise funds for.

More planting and gardening.

Here are some members of the church watching the Manualidades group in action.

The pastor and his wife talking about Manualidades.

Above all we appreciate their love.

As a team they came with the goal of loving us and the people within Casa Hogar, and they definitely did that. Thank you KOG!!!

Janine's Farewell

Janine came to the Choluteca church in November of 2008 to help out with Casa Hogar Vida and the other projects of the church.

Not only did she have an impact on the children and those within the projects of the church, she made an impact on everyone she came into contact with.

Her Joy kept us smiling, and her energy came in handy playing with the kids.

One of here favorite places was the clinic in Limon. She built a special bond with the children there and you could truly see that language is no barrier to love.

Thank you Janine for all of your hard work.

What a blessing it was for Janine's mother to share Janine's final week with her.

In Janine's final church service here her mother sang her a song and Janine said a few words to the congregation.

This is Pastor Geovany giving Janine a certificate congratulating her for a job well done.


Thank you Janine for all you did here. We love you and miss you. Your impact on the kids and the people here will not easily be forgotten!
