Last Night & Tomorrow
Yes it is Wednesday September 16 2009, which means last night the packing party took place. 14 suitcases were packed with donations! Each team member will take 2 suitcases and their personal items, clothes, etc will be in their hand luggage. We are so grateful for all the wonderful donations that we are able to take with us again this year. Please pray that they all arrive safe and sound and on time.
Tomorrow is our travel day, flying from Medford to Seattle, then to Atlanta, before finally flying to San Pedro Sula. Please pray for all connections to go well, both flight wise and people wise. Last year we had many opportunities to share with people on the journey, we look forward to this again this year.
Well more soon, keep checking back.

This is the Week
Yes! This Thursday (Just a few days away)the team leave for Honduras. The packing will take place on Tuesday, and boy have we got a lot to pack. Donations have come in thick and fast towards the end of the time before leaving.
This past weekend at the Mexico yard sale, an Italian soda stall brought in some extra money for the Honduras mission trip. A huge thank you to those who worked the stall so faithfully for two days.
Richard's office hardly has room for Richard anymore with suitcases and donations.
There have been a number of Skype calls back and to between Oregon and Honduras of late and the team has some more idea of what they may be doing during the trip. For example, tune ups of motor scooters and generators, street grate repairs, mudding of walls, house painting, nursing and of course hospitality for the missionaries.
With all of this list of activity it has to be remembered that anything can happen, the team aim to be at God's command and go where He leads while there.
The team were prayed over during the second service on Sept 6 by mission elder Sherry Watson, who did so beautifully in Spanish. The team asks for prayer support while on the trip and looks forward to updating everyone while there, and when they return.
God Bless...

Meeting
OK, so the team met today for the final time before the packing party! It is hard to believe that we leave for Honduras in a little over 3 weeks. We know that the Lord will provide for all our needs. We do however need people to donate the needs!! We have almost enough suitcases, just need the items to go in them.
Still not sure of exactly the work we will be doing, but we know God has it in mind and that is what really counts.
The packing party will be Sept 15 and we fly out on Sept 17!!
We would really appreciate your prayers and thoughts as we enter the final stretch of preparation.

Plans continue to unfold for the 2009 Honduras Mission trip, the third church sponsored trip to Belfate, Honduras and the Cornerstone Foundation mission at Hospital Loma de Luz. The 7-member team from Jacksonville Presbyterian is now focusing on sending out letters to friends and family seeking prayer support and financial assistance for several needs at the hospital, the church that John and Penny Alden have planted in nearby Margurita and a local bilingual school.
Like the last two years, the JPC mission team will be taking their personal luggage as a carry-on and then checking two bags filled with a host of needed medical and dental supplies and equipment as well as baby and children’s clothing. Some specific needs are:
cast cutting blades (there is no shortage of broken bones on Honduras’s north coast), scissors and gauze for wound care, scrubs, a C-arm fluoroscope machine, a whole variety of over-the-counter children’s meds, prenatal vitamins, wet wipes, infant (including preemie) and children’s clothing up to size 5, and boxes of toothpaste and tooth brushes (dental care is a great need). If you would like to donate any of these items, you may drop them off with Richard Evans at the church administrative offices or give them to any of the team members: Richard, Rick and Amber Shields, Tom and Lori Bell, Mike and Kandee McClain. If you are not sure what to get, we have some medical people who can get meds at cost if you would rather donate funds to the mission trip.
As always, you prayer support is needed and appreciated. Specifically, we would ask that you pray for a lessening of the current political tensions in Honduras.
