Pastor Kevin George in Hounduras

Pastor Kevin George April 21st, 2008

Greetings in the name of the Lord.

I have been in Honduras now for two months and it has been great. I arrived on Feb. 1st and immediately went to work. Honduras is a place of poverty and there is much need throughout the land, it has its beautiful areas and then it has its poor areas. One of the main needs that I have noticed, is in education, this is a area that suffers greatly. The government requires that all students wear a uniform to school and if they do not, then they are to be turned away, this is a difficult thing for the extremely poor because they do not have the finances it takes to purchase a uniform or to pay the required fees necessary to attend. It is an area that is in need of much prayer.

After arriving in Honduras and discussing some of the ministry needs out here, the Pastor has requested for me to be an English teacher in the school that is located next to the church. So now I teach English to grades Kindergarten thru 6th grade. At first I thought to myself how can I serve in the ministry by being an English teacher, I’m used to being in feeding stations or in an orphanage. Then I received my answer, I have a classroom filled with kids and an opportunity to speak into there lives. Every class starts out with prayer and we learn a memory verse, in Spanish and in English, on Mondays we learn a new Christian song in English and have a Bible lesson.

It is a wonderful thing to watch the children learn a song and then they walk around singing them in English. I may not be outside a lot or in feeding stations, as i like, but i am where the Lord wants me and there is no other place Id rather be.
