Heading to Honduras!

Wow, it's been a long time. 

So exciting news: I am officially on the team headed to Honduras from Victory Church this summer!

As most of you probably know, I have a passion for cultures and working with children. It is my hope that someday I will be able to combine these two and teach overseas. While that time is not now, I am looking forward to this opportunity to take the next step in my pursuit! This summer (June 29-July 6, specifically), ten of us are traveling to Kids Ark International, a camp for the children of Honduras.

The camp is located 45 miles south of San Pedro Sula. We will be working with Kids Ark International in their summer camp, visiting local orphanages and schools, and taking a trip to a village to see where some of our “campers” live.

To say that I am excited is an understatement.

I have been praying about where God is going to lead me as far as teaching overseas. Again, it seems that the time is not now, but I still feel drawn to Latin American cultures. As it has been almost 5 years since I've been out of the country and even longer since I've been in a Spanish-speaking country, I feel that this is a great stepping stone to wherever God will eventually lead. Who knows ... maybe I'll find something in Honduras that I can't live without and end up moving there! 

No matter where God leads, I feel that this is most definitely where I am supposed to be for June 29-July 6. The ministry opportunities sound amazing and the kids sound like they will be just fantastic. If you want to keep track of my progress while in preparation and while on the trip, feel free to check back in here. I plan to use this blog as my main form of communication about the trip. I should even be able to post on here while in Honduras. 

The purpose of this blog is not to fund-raise, but if you  happen to feel compelled to give, you can send a check to Victory Church at 1827 Freedom Rd., Suite 103, Lancaster, PA 17601 with "Honduras" written in the memo. Again, that is not the intention of this and I will be gratefully happy if you just pop by this site to check out what's going on in our trip to Honduras!

Blessings to all who read this.
