One of the highlights of the vision team trip was inaugurating a new home for Daniel's mom Daisy.  When Central Church's youth group was in Honduras in March, a few of the group members developed a desire to help Daisy purchase her own home.  The small room she was renting was sitting on a river bank in an area prone to flooding.   The youth group began to raise money when they returned to St. Louis, including through a very successful car wash!  The vision team arrived at her house in September to help her move in.  Through songs and prayer and lots of hugs, they helped her make the new house feel like home!  Here, Daisy and Daniel smile as the vision team arrives (Daniel is a senior at the Micah Project this year).

           As part of the inauguration of her new home, the vision team  surprised Daniel's mom Daisy with a new refrigerator and stove!  They were the first appliances that she has ever owned.  What a blessed day for Daniel's family!  Here, Daniel, Hauner and Hector take her new refrigerator into the home.   

           The vision team from Central Church spends time every year on the streets of Tegucigalpa, getting to know the local culture and history.  One of the highlights is walking through the sprawling weekend Farmer's market and catching the variety of sights, sounds and smells.    Here, they visit one of the hundreds of vegetable stands in the market.   

         It's science fair time!  Although we have small classes in our home-schooling program, they still have the opportunity to present science experiments.  Here, Pedro presents his project on the relationship between different kinds of glass and heat.  Pedro is a junior this year in our educational program.     

          Dan Paul (red shirt, right) moved to Honduras from Toronto in September to work with the Micah Project.  He is here to help coordinate our street ministry and run the Micah House on the weekends.  We are glad to have his help!  His current outreach has focused on the boy on the far left, Jose Daniel (nicknamed "Waterdog" on the streets).  Dan brought Jose Daniel to the Micah House to visit in late September.  In the picture on the right, he poses with Erick (white shirt), Dan and Marvin (dark blue shirt).  Marvin and Jose Daniel were friends on the streets until Marvin joined the Micah Project four months ago.  Could Jose Daniel be the next one to join?   

           Edwin had an amazing experience in September!  He was able to meet his 97 year old great-grandmother Maria de Jesus for the first time since he was three years old.  We traveled to the town of Edwin's birth, Corralitos, to be able to meet her.  Corralitos is a beautiful mountain village untouched by modernity (the background picture of this page was taken on the way to Corralitos).  Edwin's grandmother and great-grandmother live together in a small wooden home built on the side of a mountain.  Here, Edwin hugs his great-grandmother for the first time!        

           While in Corralitos, we took some time out to appreciate God's creation!  Here, the guys decide to dam up the river near the village in order to have a deeper place to play.

           A few of the guys at the Micah Project formed a musical group a couple of years ago called "Los Micah Boys". In July and August, they produced their second album, called "In Process". The album contains a collection of their own songs, which highlight their personal testimonies and their desire to live holy lives before their Father.  The photo above is a poster that reflects the album cover artwork.  The five singers are Jerson, Edwin, Pedro, Marvin and Jose.  Not pictured is Joel, a student from Covenant College who recorded a couple of songs with the guys.  Click here to hear one of the songs on the new album!
