Honduras is currently undergoing problems comparable to those from Hurricane 'Mitch' in 1998.
Rains have swollen rivers and created landslides and ground fault openings killing 35 as of Tues with over 3200 in Tegucigalpa being forced to evacuate. Check out this video at <> from the English language newspaper "Honduras This Week"If any of you wish to help financially, we suggest you donate through the South American Missionary Society, PO Box 21082, Barrie, ON, L4M 6J1. Their administration costs are only 10%, possibly the lowest your will find, and they have the contacts to get it to where it is needed.
We are wondering if our roll in Honduras this coming winter will be different from what we had planned. When we were in Honduras in 1998, just after Huricane Mitch, we spent a lot of time helping with relief efforts.
It is interesting that we in Canada hear about every event of this type in the US, but rarely those in the Caribean or Latin America. When you hear of a bad storm in Florida, check out what is happening in these areas, remembering that in most cases, the whole country was hit and not just one state. Please pray for them!
Eva is headed for Nfld. on Wed for the annual SAMS board meeting in St. John's. On Sat. and Sun. she will be speaking at St. Paul's in Lewisporte, Nfld.
God bless you all ............. Dick
