Traveling down to Hondruas

These are some picture of my trip down to Honduras from Alabama. I know it has taken me a while to put something new up but things happen a little slower down here. Enjoy 2600 miles in 5 minutes!!!

In Honduras

Well I made it down to Honduras without any problems at all. To all who said it would take 2 weeks to drive down here must drive really slow. It took me just a little over 4 days. I will try to update this blog a much as I can as well as post pictures of the trip down and things that I will be doing. I do not know how much computer access I will have or how fast it will be to upload pictures so please be patient. I will also try not to delete the entire thing again.

Steel Mold

This is the mold that I will be using to make the water filters. Thanks to Joe Craddock for helping me cut and weld this thing together.

What This is All About

My name is Joel Aycock and after having just graduated college I had no idea what I wanted to do. I have felt God's call on my life to do mission work but did not know when, where, or what to do. I received some information of something called a BioSand Water Filter used by many organizations all around the would to give people pure water at very little cost while still being very effective. I decided to move down to Honduras for 6 months to start a water purification project in the Mountains of Copan. While living in Honduras I will get a glimpse of how it is to live as a missionary in a different country alone and also by faith for everything I may need. During these months I hope to try to discern what God has planed for the rest of my life. I am excited about this opportunity as well as what God has planned for my life.

How to be Involved

After hearing about this project, many people have asked how they could be involved. The first and number one thing I need is your prayers. Prayers for my health and safety as well that this project will be a success. Also pray that the people will understand the importance of pure water as well as pure life. If you do feel that God is placing it on your heart to help financially then you can send a check to:
Asbury Methodist Church
980 Hughes Road
Madison, AL 35758

and write "Joel's water project." If you do not write this then I will not get the money.

Thanks so much!

The blog is lost in the world wide web or something. i finally got to honduras and was going to update this thing but it didnt exist anymore.
