June 2006 Photos!

In June, Jose, Jerson, Pedro and Marvin produced their first album, called "Dificil de Olvidar", or "Hard to Forget." They used a small studio in Tegucigalpa to professionally produce eleven songs. Their CD was a product of months of writing, setting their lyrics to music, and practicing. In reality, however, this incredible album is a product of a lifetime; each of the songs powerfully describes how God brought them out of a dark past and into the brilliant light of a hope-filled future.

"Los Micah Boys" got a chance to debut their album in a powerful way! They were the featured singers in an event called "United for Children" in the central plaza of Tegucigalpa. They sang on a Saturday before hundreds of people who stopped their weekend shopping in the bustling central square to listen to their powerful message. Here, Pedro and Marvin sing "Trap Him". Read our July update for more information!

Jose and Marvin kept their audience in rapt attention as they sang "Dreams" in the central square of Tegucigalpa. Read our July update for more information about why Jose wrote this amazing song.

Our younger guys helped to sell the album to the passers-by during the concert in the central plaza. They managed to sell fourteen copies! Here Juan Carlos arranges the albums as Maycol uses his charm to woo the crowd!

Cristino tries to talk a street kid into giving up his bottle of yellow glue. This child, like so many street kids, remains high most of the day by inhaling this toxic substance. Cristino, while on summer break from Missouri Baptist University, has been coordinating our weekly street kids ministry.

Project director Michael Miller sits with some street kids in Tegucigalpa's central plaza to watch "Los Micah Boys" perform.

In June, a team from the First Presbyterian Church of Houston came for their annual mission's trip to Honduras. The team held a week-long medical clinic at the community center in Villa Linda Miller. Here, Jerson draws blood from a young girl to check for anemia. Click here for more photos of the team from First Presbyterian.

The team from First Presbyterian also conducted a beautifully organized VBS program for the children of Villa Linda Miller and the city dump. Here, Auner and Marvin perform a skit for the children!

In June, the Micah boys began construction on a new home in Villa Linda Miller. The home will be for David's mom and younger siblings (David is currently studying in Costa Rica). Here, Arle, Erick, Daniel and Auner dig out the foundation. The youth group from the Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church will come in July to finish the house.

The newest Micah boys! Daniel holds two Labrador puppies on a recent visit to a ranch. Daniel has been studying at the Micah House since January and will be officially joining the project in July. Speaking of which, the chocolate lab puppy was adopted by Becca and Jessica, who named him "Mochachino".

Edwin felt that Mochachino might feel lonely during his first night in Becca and Jessica's apartment. He decided to join our new friend in the crate! Edwin looks happier than Mocha about being in the crate!
