The need is great for teaching and proclaiming the true gospel all across the western mountains of Honduras. This need is so much greater than any two people can accomplish so please join us in praying Luke 10:2 which reads, “And He was saying to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.;” We believe this is a prayer the Lord will answer so we are trusting Him to provide the right person or people to come serve Him here with us.
Please pray for Jean and me, and the leadership of this ministry, in both the U.S. and Honduras, for wisdom as we think and plan strategically about how to go about fulfilling God’s plans and purposes that He has for us and the people He loves and created who live in this part of Honduras where we serve.
Please pray for the Lord to provide all of the resources that will be needed for 2025. Thank you for your prayers in regards to our ministry fundraising. We are starting off the year on solid ground financially speaking. However, there is not an abundance of funds available at this time for us to take on new patients at LCDR. We know the need is out there and we would like to serve as many of the physically disabled in our area as possible so please pray for the Lord to provide additional resources for us to bless others through this ministry.
After much prayer and consultation, we decided to get the transmission in the Hyundai mobility van rebuilt. The work was completed so we finally have a praise report regarding our transportation problems-the Hyundai van has been back on the road for a few weeks now and is running very well. Please continue to pray that the Hyundai will once again be a good and reliable vehicle for us.
While it is a blessing for us to have this vehicle back on the road, please pray for us as we consider our transportation needs on a longer-term basis.
We have several items waiting to be shipped to Honduras from the U.S. Please pray for favor as we work out details with the shipper and Honduras customs so that these items will arrive safely and soon without exaggerated cost.
Please pray for the two surgeries (for Nohemi and Seidy) to happen soon. This has been such a long struggle for them and us with little more to show for it than disappointment thus far. The latest update: the surgical team who came in November had some problems of their own so they were unable to provide the surgery for Nohemi. Since we have been unable to find resources in Honduras for such a long time, we are looking at options outside of the country for both Nohemi and Seidy.
Please pray for full recoveries for Mario, Dagoberto and Gerson. All three suffered serious arm injuries in accidents. All of them have been coming to LCDR for therapy and are making progress.
Please continue to pray for chronic health situations with some of our family members stateside. Please ask the Lord to give us wisdom to know what we can do and when we can do it.
Please pray for Jean and me to stay healthy so that we can continue to serve effectively.
Please pray for the continued spiritual growth and development of everyone at La Casa De Rubén. We recently had a great time together looking at what the Bible teaches about fasting. Soon we will be studying together what the Bible says about tithing. These are two topics that were requested to be studied by everyone at La Casa De Rubén. We are also looking at some other materials that we can study together on a weekly basis so that we can all continue to grow as disciples, followers of Christ.
Please pray for the health and well-being of both the patients and the staff at LCDR.
Please continue to pray for all of the students we have in our scholarship program. A praise is that we have 3 more students who will be graduating this year. Another praise is that we have funding to bring two new students into the program. Please pray for us as we identify and interview candidates, and for the Lord to reveal to us the exact students He would like for us to enroll in the program.
