Missionary Adventures

Missionaries have great adventures.  

          

My husband and I served

in Honduran mountain villages

during three short term mission trips.

 This doesn't mean their life has been easy.  

                         Like you they get hungry, thirsty, lonely, discouraged, and tired.  

Sometimes they're put in prison, yelled at, have their things stolen, or are hurt.

                  Other times they help people ask Jesus into their heart,

                                                                                        and see lives changed
