Update from Hank!

Hank has been back in Roatan for 2 1/2 weeks now and has been settling back into Pandy Town. there are many new faces to meet at the church, the body has grown even since just 6 months ago. There has been so much freedom within the body in Pandy Town. People who have been addicted to drugs for more then 10 years and some of the islands major drug dealers have been set free. Hank is also seeing freedom from drinking and prostitution. All by the power of God!

There are many couples on the island that want to be married, this is so exciting to see! The problem that has come up is the cost of obtaining the papers are beyond what most can afford. The couples are now saved and want to make things right by marrying and getting baptized. Its looking like a little under 1,000 dollars to get all the papers needed. God is so good, and He will provide, Hank has asked that we pray and help in any way we can to see these marriages happen!

There are also many who are wanting to be baptize, who have given their lives to the Lord over the past few months and weeks. It is exciting to see the the Lord moving in the hearts of the people in Pandy Town. Many of the people getting baptized have been set free from drug use and prostitution. Also one of Hanks cousins who was an alcoholic and drug addict will be getting baptized. Praise the Lord for His mighty hand at work in the hearts of His people. 

Pray:

- That Hank will see opportunities for discipleship as he baptizes new believers and rases up church leaders. 

-That the Lord would provide in His will for the money needed for the marrige papers. 

-For rest, wisdom and peace for Hank as he pours out to the body in Roatan. 

-As Hank meets with the men in Pandy Town, and challenges them to be leaders in their homes.
