Christmas Shopping Alaska

Going to Do Some Christmas Shopping? Read This First

Everywhere you look online, and off line you find another cause or charity you could support. Everything from donating food to donating several thousand dollars for housing. There is a good reason behind these appeals, and something that should be supported. But, in these times of economic turmoil, how do you find the extra money to support these, when the money isn't there?

The group that is planning the teen and college mission trip to San Pedro Sula, Honduras in July 11-18, 2009 has a way you can do your usual online shopping, and not spend any extra money than you normally would for your shopping purchases, but help with the mission trip.

The area of San Pedro Sula, Honduras has many needs. Some of the needs are adequate housing, clean water, food, economic substance, health care, and the message of God's love and power to change their lives. Not every need can be met on one trip. The group is being led by Dan Moran International Ministries. Dan has a heart for the Honduran people and leads several mission trips a year to the San Pedro Sula area. He takes care of all logistics from here, and has a director of the operations in the San Pedro Sula area to coordinate the needs with the group that is coming. Some of the things the teen and college age mission group will be doing are:

* Working with local feeding centers
* Ministering in daycare centers
* Working with our partnering church, Jerusalem Baptist
* Crusades in local schools and at the new church site
* Construction project with Jerusalem Baptist and their daughter church (possible)
* VBS at day care centers and churches (possible)

Although it is easy to see the need of the Honduran people, the mission project also fulfills a very important need in the lives of the teens and college age students. It gives them valuable life lessons., in giving them a compassion for people who are different than them in circumstances, but every bit loved the same by God. They can understand the common bond of mankind everywhere. The young people who experience these mission opportunities develop a stronger sense of appreciation of the advantages of freedom in the United States. They develop a thankfulness of the relatively easy life they have compared to many in Honduras.

I have accompanied the group on three other mission trips, one to Vero Beach, Florida, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Nikiski, Alaska. On these trips I have seen the group take their job very seriously, and work hard. The work they have done has been things such as painting, roofing, building wheel chair ramps, repair and rebuilding decks, replacing windows, drywall, insulation, and more. Each project has stretched them to do more than they thought they could. Each project has prepared them a little more to be a well rounded, productive adult.

To find out how you can support the efforts of this group without coming up with extra money, look at the website, and blog http://www.MyHeartForHonduras.org. Please explore the site to find out more about us, and the Honduran people.

We are an approved 501 3c organization.

Kathleen Couch has set up the website, http://www.MyHeartForHonduras.org to support the efforts of a mission team going to Honduras in July 11-18, 2009. You can support the mission in Honduras by going to the site. You will be able to choose the best way for you to support the group. Thank you in advance!
