I first want to say that i am extremely sorry for not ever updating this blog anymore. i am still alive and still living down here in Honduras and working with water filters. i know that it has been about 4 months since i have updated anything so i am sorry. i have been working on the website.... www.hishands.ws to try to let people know more about me as well as my ministry.

At the first of the year i started taking filters to a new village called Santa Lucia. I have been working with the same men that have been helping me the past year and a half but i have decided that its best if i look for other help. They both have alot of responsibility to work to do in the villages and there just doesnt seem to be enough time when we go to the villages to work with filters and their own stuff. That brings me to my first prayer request. My board has voted to give me a little more money to pay for a full time helper. This will be better then paying per trip like i had been doing. so please pray that i will know the right person for the job. I believe it is very important to get the right person so please pray for that.

After i finish with Santa Lucia i plan on taking this project to the village of La Laguna. I had had this village in mind since feb. and i was paying that the dry weather would help the road conditions. Even better than the dry weather......the mayor sent the machines scrape it down. now it is one of the best roads in the mountains. It is a blessing from God. Please start praying for the people of la laguna as well as for me. La Laguna is one of the more dangerous villages in the mountain so please pray for my safety. I hope to have the first town meeting with them sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Along with the water filters i have been trying to expand my ministry. There has been an opportunity to put in sewage lines for people that just have a hole in the grown. This week i have been working, laying pipes for the sewage and i lack about three days. When we are finished there will be about 8 families that will benefit from this. please pray for this project as well.

Samaritan's Purse is also working with these same filters in the slums in San Pedro Sula (a big city). I have gotten in touch with the country director of Samaritan's purse and i am going to meet with him sometime soon see how they do the work with the filters and the programs that they have using the filters. please pray that i will learn alot. Also i have had a problem with some of the filters cracking still. about 1 out of 4 wind up cracking and i have no idea why. They also crack at the same spot but it doesnt matter what mold the filter comes out of. it also doesnt matter if it is in the sun or the shade. anyway i hope to ask about this as well.

i have put more pictures up from the different villages that we have done and i am planning on putting of pictures of the sewage project in the next couple of days. you can go to http://s414.photobucket.com/albums/pp230/HisHands2008/ and click on the names of the villages you want to see. there are also picture of my baby on there so you can look at him if you want also. thanks so much for you patients and prayers for my and my family
