3 Ways

Only 7 days left until we land in Honduras and we are so excited and a little frazzled to say the least.  I am trying to fit all the homeschool materials for 3 kids and clothing for 5 people in 10 pieces of checked luggage but keep each piece less than 50 pounds.  A challenge that I am certainly up for, but I feel like I am taking it down to the wire!

These last few weeks we have had many people ask how they can be a part of this ministry and I love to share with them the 3 ways they too can be a part of missions, including our mission, BMDMI.


1. Pray-  The most important thing ANYONE can do about ANYTHING is to pray!  God answers prayer.  We are living testaments to His answer to prayer.  We are keenly aware that God uses the prayers of His people to draw others closer to Him and we want to encourage all of our friends and family to keep not just our family in your prayers, but also our fellow missionaries, the people we are ministering to, and our immediate family as we are away from them.  Your prayers make our ministry happen, so please pray for us regularly as we too will pray for all of our friends and family as well.



2. Give- Your giving allows this ministry to happen. We cannot share the gospel with others in Honduras without our financial partners. Lottie Moon once said, "Why should we not ... instead of the paltry offerings we make, do something that will prove that we are really in earnest in claiming to be followers of him who, though he was rich, for our sake became poor?" Every donation made to our ministry comes straight to us. We are currently at 95% of our needed goal to be fully funded. Will you prayerfully consider helping us reach 100%? Just follow the instructions to the right of this page for more information on how you can partner with us financially in this ministry to reach Honduras for Christ!

3. Go- One of the things we love most about being a part of BMDMI is that we work with teams. Every year almost 3,000 volunteers travel to Honduras, Nicaragua, Nepal and Guatemala through BMDMI teams to serve an average of 140,000 people in our clinics and hospital; dispense more than 500,000 bags of medicine; distribute 30,000 Bibles; and rejoice with more than 10,000 people deciding to follow Christ. The Team Ministry is life-changing for the volunteers as well, providing them an opportunity to put their faith in action and see up close the difficult lives that many less fortunate people live.  If you are interested in taking a short-term mission trip, why not contact us today and see where you can plug in to be a part of missions?  I promise your life will never be the same!


So here are the 3 ways you too can be a part of missions.  We hope that this inspires you in the New Year to step out of your comfort zone and let God lead you where He has a place just for you to serve Him.  We love you all and consider it a joy to serve God together to Preach and Heal!
