"I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations."Psalm 89:1
IN JUNE, WE CELEBRATED OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN ROATAN!
As well as our 18th Wedding Anniversary! Yay!!!
TEAMS
We were happy to interact and work with teams from Maui, Savannah and New Jersey(Pictured above) in the last month. God does so many special works during those weeks! We look forward to seeing all the new faces on Roatan and their enthusiasm and encouragement. We would love to have your church down here and can arrange everything to ensure a great. life changing experience for you and the local very needy population. Email us if you are interested in getting more info.
R Church
We have completed Spiritual Gift testing for most of the church members and are meeting individually with each member to review the results. One lady committed her life to Christ after realizing she didn't know where she was spiritually. It is great to have the assurance of Heaven and His working in our lives. The Bible says "These things are written... so that we may know that we have eternal life!"
Children
The boys speared three lionfish recently and were very excited! They are helping out with a house-build in the colonia this week. Two families with many children each will move in as soon as they are complete. We are working on a retaining wall now that will help make it last. One of the families is in a very dangerous landslide area so this must be finished before rainy season starts in late October/November. Ella helped with the New Jersey team doing a VBS down in Flowers Bay and continues to show great leadership in worship at R Church. We are excited two new families, the Neighbors and the Lawyers, are moving down this month and both have kids close to our children's ages.
Tish
We are proud to announce that Tish has started her counseling and opened an office in Roatan. We only know of one other counselor on the island of 75,000 people. She has already started with a few couples and is seeing God move in their lives as they apply Biblical principles to their life situations. Her website is www.myinsightcounseling.com and is being updated with the new location in a few days.
Coffee
We have added online ordering and have a good supply in the states to provide fast delivery. We are hoping some churches and individuals will change from Folgers to our Missions Coffee! We have a church in Pennsylvania that is taking a number of bags this month! Yay!!! This ministry helps us employ 3 single moms and provide funds for work projects like the one pictured above. We just invested in 300 lbs of beans as we trust God to sell them for us.
PLEASE HELP OUR MINISTRY TRUCK FUNDRAISER!
We are currently raising funds for a Ministry Truck. It will be used to transport construction materials, mission teams, provide transportation for locals and orphanage kids as well as transporting coffee. Please prayerfully consider helping in this effort! Trucks are a high commodity on the island as all the potholes are rough on cars. Our goal is to raise $7500 which should buy one that will be reliable and large enough for the needs.

Thank you for every email, facebook note and phone call! We miss you and love you. We look forward to fellowship in August when we come for a two week visit!
We thank God for each of you and appreciate your prayers and support! May God bless you richly!
En Cristo,
Travis, Tish, Ella, Zachary, Heather and Eli
