Update on Honduras Plans

Haven't written much about the Honduras plans for a while and so thought I would update you all on what's going on with all of that. I originally started this blog to address the hearts journey toward Honduras and God has just taught me so much in preparation that I sometimes get caught right there. It's been good and He's been faithful.

Technically speaking however, here are some of the plans as of now...

• GRAND OPENING of Casa de Esperanza (House of Hope) will be December 10,2005.
• We still need to raise approximately $100,000 to have it up and funded for the first year of operation.
• It will house 20 girls of all ages by early 2006.
• Departure date is October 25ish to be in Honduras permanently.
• The childrens home will be located on a piece of property about 30 minutes outside of Tegucigalpa called Santa Ana.
• It will be located within a village called Villa de Esperanza (which means village of hope) are you seeing a trend here? praying to offer a whole lot of hope. :)
• On the property there with the childrens home there will be a church building, a police post, a medical clinic, 20 concrete block houses, and a training center affiliated with Mi Esperanza which will train women to have a skill so that they can provide for their families. It is an exciting time to be a part of the vision for this project.

Think those might be the major updates for now. I have no idea why God is allowing me the honor of serving these precious people, but I so desire to always treat it as such...a tremendous honor! Thank you all for what you are doing to encourage, support, and love me in and through this!

All for Him, JEN
