DAY TWO

Today we went to the Micah House. This ministry helps the children in Honduras...trying to get them off the streets and trying to help them with their addiction to glue. They call them Glue Boys. We met the people who run the house and then we all went down to the streets where these boys "live" and gave food and love to them. They literally walk around with bottles with glue in their front pockets and inhale the fumes to stay warm...to forget they are hungry...and of course to get high. We then went back to the House and watched a documentary called Glue Boys. They are everywhere. The Micah House has room for 12 boys that have a brought in off the streets. After lunch with everyone...the boys sang for us. Then we walked to a soccer field and the fun began. WOW! Those boys can play soccer. A great time for everyone. We walked back up to the Micah House and said our thank yous and good byes. Check them out on the web www.micahcentral.org and definitely pray for these boys. They are truly awesome young men and we need to pray that they will be able to continue to overcome this addiction.

Then a group of us went to the streets tonight. The first half of the team went last night.
We went down and saw the people that most people don't want to be around. They too had the glue bottles and some had definitely been drinking. We gave them stew and tortillas. Most of them definitely want "chili" added to it. Hot sauce for sure...they wanted it hot! Amber and her group took care of us while we were down there helping...what a great ministry. We will be going to Amber's house tomorrow to help her with some painting and some much needed fix up at a house she hopes to someday be able to open for homeless people to have a safe place to sleep for a night

Again...thank you for your prayers...God is working! Satan just isn't strong enough to keep this team down!!!!
