Saturday night...Safe arrival.

 Very short post: give thanks for travel blessings all day. No serious issues and easy arrival for all through customs and immigration. Then the first rate rental vehicles took us to La Entrada and our hotel.

 Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard is sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ and sleep we may rest in peace. Amen.

Mission Trip Preliminaries

The Christ Church Mission Team leaves for Honduras on Saturday, June 29 and returns to the U.S. on Friday, July 5.



The mission team L-R:  Helen Merrill, Brien & Terry Koehler, James Chapman, Nita Shaver, Renee & Greg Sethness

This blog will provide information day by day throughout the week with pictures and short reports of our activity.  We will also keep you up to date on our next day schedule and with prayer requests.

The first prayer request is for a day of safe travel from San Antonio to Honduras.  The journey will begin for us at 5am with the first flight.  Our arrival in Honduras will be in San Pedro Sula at about noon.  In early afternoon we will drive in a caravan of four vehicles for about two hours to La Entrada, our home base for the week.

Saturday evening will bring our team and the local church priest (together with his family) together for dinner and planning.

Sunday morning part of our team will visit the famous ruins at the archaeological park in Copan Ruinas; others will visit a remote village church in the morning for worship.  Sunday afternoon, the team will be reunited in Chalmeca for a celebration of the Eucharist with the people whom we will serve in our mission next week.

Our Saturday and Sunday Prayer request:  safe travel.

O God, our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole

creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: Preserve

those who travel in particular the Mission Team of Christ Church; surround

them with your loving care; protect them from every danger;

and bring them in safety to their journey's end; through

Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
