Here We Are...

The Missioners for 2007-2008 are here, and getting to work! God has blessed us with an amazing community this year. New faces and old faces, Hondurans, US Americans, and even one Scottish face, we have 9 women and 9 men! We range in age from 18 to....well....older. Some of us are just out of college, some have been working or volunteering for a while, and some are planning to finish their schooling after leaving. All of us have been called for different reasons, but with our diversity comes great strength because we all have different gifts and talents to offer. We have everything from english and theology to social work, psychology and pre-med backgrounds. And we are all bearing with one another in love as we settle in, learn the language, discover what our gifts are, and learn to be a community. Because we have a larger community this year we are able to offer some new programs and hopefully add some more stability to our existing programs.

So without further ado...the 07-08 Missioners: Maynor Ballesteros (Siguatepeque), Roger Blanco (La Paz), Brad Fassbender (Wisconsin), Marylee Grabowski (Virginia), Greg Hamilton (Georgia), Rachel Hoffman (North Carolina), Andy Kadlec (North Dakota), Tracy McGee (Glasgow), Bob Monahan (Illinois), Erica Noble (Illinois), Andrew Pocta (Virginia), Krista Popp (Minnesota), Carol Restaine (now...Honduras), Milton Rodriguez (Comayagua), Toni Sacca (Georgia), Richard Vaughan (Texas), Lorena Ventura (Comayagua), Diana Ramos (La Paz)

A New Year.....

Its a new year, and so we have begun a new blog. We are hoping to have new updates posted here throughout the year, about once a week. Hopefully here is where you will be able to keep up with our community through stories, pictures, videos etc. Also hopefully it will be a bit more personal than our website and newsletter which you may already be reading.

Here too you can leave us comments!! Which means we will know who is thinking of and praying for us! So whenever you have a bit of extra time, stop in and take a look around. We would love to have you. God Bless....
