Can you help a family eat for two weeks for just $10? We can't do it without you! In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.
Psalm 18:6

Highlights & Current Projects
PRAISE: Only around 150 cases of Covid with no hospitalizations and no deaths. As reported in other Caribbean islands the climate/salt air does seem to keep cases mild. It is a tough situation in lockdown where we are only allowed to travel one day every two weeks. Thanks be to our gracious Lord, the churches are growing through this crisis. The government is not helping the people here so the churches and missionaries have stepped up. We work with 8 churches including our church plants. They identify the most needy families in their areas and we then buy food and distribute through a different church every few weeks. We have to change location as the crowds get too large to handle. The pastors and the leaders of the churches pray for and share the gospel with each family every week. We believe providing spiritual food AND physical food is what we are called to in James 2 "15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?" - James 2:15-16
ALCOHOL & DRUG REHAB
The Roatan Rehab "Jesus is the Solution" has moved back to Coxen Hole and is in the process of renovating their facility and adding apartments. Miss Caroline just graduated the program after a life of using and selling crack. She is desiring to get started as a baker and funds are being accepted for her to begin a new life.

R Church
Our church in West Bay is meeting on Friday mornings due to a complete lockdown on the weekends. We are currently recording the service and posting on Facebook on Saturday morning. We are studying 1 Peter. After a busy season of juggling counseling and helping with food distribution and dump ministry, Tish is traveling in the states getting Heather set up for college so we are officially empty nesters now. She is returning on August 17th if all goes as planned. Please contact her if you are able to connect before she returns.
