Hank Arrives in Roatan!

Hank is settling into his first week back to Roatan.  He is overjoyed to be back in Pandytown. In just his first days there he has been very busy. Here are some of the highlights:

- The Alpha Community Church has grown! There are many new believers that Hank is getting the chance to meet, teach and baptize! 16 have asked to be baptized this coming Sunday.

- Meetings with Pastors, law-enforcement and local government. Hank has been busy meeting with many pastors and government workers in the community. His heart has been to connect with local churches about spiritual issues facing the island and how they can combat strongholds facing women, men and youth. There is an obvious increase in drug use and dealing among young people on the island. Please pray!

- Prayer meetings. In the evening Hank has been preaching and praying at the Alpha Community Church. When Hank announced the first prayer meeting, he said about 90% of the church actually came later that night. What an encouraging sign to see a church so eager to pray and intercede for their families and community.

Pray for Hank:

- To have wisdom as he meets with many local leaders.

- To have peace, rest and humility with everything that can possibly overwhelm him, drain him and distract him.

- To see opportunities for discipleship as he baptizes new believers and raises up church leaders.
