Troops showed up at the Ocotepeque, Honduras Church of Christ a few weeks ago. The ouster of the President and selection of a new one caused unrest around the country, and martial law was in effect much of the time. Gatherings of people were monitored, and the church had to explain that they were simply worshiping God--not planning an insurrection. We should be extremely grateful for our freedoms, but too often we simply take them for granted. Have you thought about having troops arrive during worship and asking what you were doing?
Mission Work in La Palma, El Salvador La Palma is in northern El Salvador near the Honduran border. It is a beautiful mountain town with a great climate. We go there every 3 months to support the Iglesia de Cristo and the La Palma Christian School and to help the people gain a healthier lifestyle. We ship medical supplies and equipment to the region.
