New Kids On The Block

We have been living in Honduras now for the past three months. One of the most amusing things about living here is the attention we get any time our family is out in public. With our porcelain skin, we stand out rather well amongst a darker skinned Hondreno. I feel so much at home here, that I often forget our family is in the minority. Besides getting used to the stares, we are also learning how to navigate the roads. We are getting more comfortable driving here in a country where there are no rules--it is quite the adventure ;)

We have been leading weekly discipleship classes with the children of FCM. We both really enjoy this time as we are able to dig in the Word with them, and get better acquainted at the same time. It is a privilege to be able to minister to these kids and we are thankful for the work God has placed before us. We ask that you please pray for these amazing children as God works on their hearts, so they will grow spiritually and be more aware of God's presence in their lives. Many of these kids have been either abandoned or sometimes even abused, so pray they will have a better understanding of their worth in the eyes of the Lord. Pray that as they learn of God's love for them, it will soften their hearts and give them a desire to live for Christ. Pray daily not only for their spiritual growth, but for their protection also, both spiritually & physically.

 

FCM's Summer schedule has begun and the second N. American team just returned to the States yesterday.
The first Summer team to come arrived on Saturday, May 26th. It was a Spirit-filled week of sharing the Gospel and giving out food/clothes to the people in the impoverished communities. It was also about relationship building with the boys & girls of FCM through soccer games, daily devotionals, art, and many other activities.
U.S. teams will continue traveling here every week this Summer to minister to the FCM children and within the communities in and around Tegucigalpa.  Each team comes with different objectives, but every one desiring to be the hands and feet of God. Please pray for God's anointing on these teams, traveling mercies, safety, and for the lives that will be impacted during their time in Honduras. Pray also for Richie and Lori Womack, fellow missionaries, and for us as we work with the teams this Summer.

Martha with her sweet family.  Some of our favorite people!

Her name is Anna, young single mom. Please pray she accepts Christ in her heart soon.

Our friends/fellow missionaries, the Womacks

Our family continues to adjust well, which is due in part, to the wonderful people here that God has placed in our lives. We sense your prayers as we recognize God's intervention and provision! It is evident that we are in the center of His will. Please continue to pray for us as we adjust, especially for our boys. Pray daily for our own spiritual growth as we serve the people here, our safety, and health.

We thank you for your continued prayers and financial support. We would not be here doing the work God has placed before us without each one of you standing with us!

Because He first loved us,

The Diegelmans
