Our ministry collects new and gently used items for Bro. Ronnie Doss
and his ministry. We ship the needed items to Bro. Ronnie Doss in Honduras
twice a year (once in the spring and once in the fall) in 40 foot containers.
Shipping Ministry Updates
We were delayed in sending a spring container and have made the
decision to send one container at the end of October. We have
purchased two 40-foot containers to store items for shipment. The
40-foot containers keep the items secure and out of the weather.
We currently have a full container of items to ship. However, there
are several specific needs for the ministry (see included list). We also
need to purchase Christmas gifts for around 60 children who live at the
orphanage, around 15 workers, and over 20 national pastors and their families.
We are striving to raise $5,000 to complete this Christmas project.
We have recently had a Best Western hotel donate a great deal of furniture
for Honduras. They are remodeling and replacing all their furniture. We have
also had a children’s clothing consignment company donate a great deal of
gently used children’s clothing.

Honduras Updates
Bro. Rick and Mrs. Julia Schenk have recently moved to Honduras to work
with Bro. Ronnie and Mrs. Joann. They have committed to work with the boys
at the orphanage. They will also help care for the orphanage and working on
the property infrastructure. The Schencks have established family night with
the boys each weekend. Many of the needed items include games, crafts,
and Spanish DVDs to help make these family nights fun for the boys. They
are also looking to establish a clinic in their home and will need first aid supplies.
They have also identified many construction type needs, such as painting and
electrical repairs. For more information about the Schenck’s ministry, go to

Christa Miller is a lady from Pennsylvania that works with the girls
and the children with special needs. In addition to spiritual training,
she is in the process of teaching the girls discipline. She wants to
teach them to play volleyball. Therefore, she needs a net and some
volleyballs. One praise she has had recently is that she has had more
girls saved this year than any of the previous years she has been in
Honduras. She is also praying for a vehicle specifically for her use.
Bro. Ronnie, Mrs. Joann, and Janie are doing well and are in good
health at this time. Bro. Ronnie is always anxious for people to come
to Honduras to visit and see their faith at work. Please continue to pray
for Bro. Ronnie and Mrs. Joann as they continue to lead this
ministry.
