This correspondence below was received this morning from Bishop Robert Lambeth:
This weekend we were in Bauru for a special rededication service. As you all know, this Church was almost totally destroyed but a tornado that passed through here in December. Well our people worked hard, and with many fundraisers and with many special projects we were able to get everything back in order. In fact, not only were we able to fix the roof and ceiling, but we also repainted the church on the outside and inside and also modified the platform! God is good! Brad preached this special service, and the power of God moved in a great way. Many  visitors were in the altar praying as you can see in the pictures! Thank you for your prayers in this behalf!
Here are a few photos that we received from Vanessa and Sis. McKillop. Hopefully more will follow soon…
For those that are still wondering, Bishop McKillop, Sis. McKillop and Vanessa have all landed safe and sound in Belize from Honduras. They flew on TACA Airlines, which they found out upon their arrival was an acronym to the locals: Take A Coffin with yA. Needless to say, we are glad that they arrived safely. Let’s continue to remember them in our prayers!
We received this correspondence from Bishop Cleve Lambeth this evening, regarding the present condition of the flooding that they are experiencing in Brazil. Below his email, you will find a number of photos. Let us continue to hold them up in prayer!
Today we went back to where the flood hit part of our City. Several of our church people went, and we cooked for the homeless people, preached, prayed and tried to help these people out. Like I said before, this is a real bad area and very poor people. There are a lot of drugs and so on in this part of Campinas. Before the flood, we already had a mission there with several people baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost. I am sending you some of the pictures of today’s event. Hope you enjoy them… I am very tired, after all the work we did. You can notice, that when we first arrived, the sun was out, but before we could leave, it started raining again and the level of the river was starting to rise. Please pray for these people. Our church people gathered together clothes, food and so on…
The Schreckhise Family -- Missionaries to Honduras, Central America
We just received this correspondence from Sis. Schreckhise, requesting prayer. Let us take her before the throne of grace today. God is ABLE!
Hey Friends and Family,
Just need your help praying. Today I’m 30 weeks along in my pregnancy…yesterday started experiencing preterm labor. So I’m on complete bedrest for the next 7 weeks. Also taking meds to stop contractions and steroids to help baby Charity’s lungs to develop in case she comes early anyway. Our family needs your prayers please. I have a wonderful family that are good to pitch in, but this will be a drastic change for all of us. Pray for strength for each one and health and continued development for Charity. Preterm birth is never good, but in Honduras it would be especially risky. Thanks so much, in advance. It is a blessing to be able to call on godly people to pray. You are all a blessing in my life.
It has been another busy day!! We repacked and are ready to go to the mountains for a couple of nights. Bishop and Vanessa will go to church tomorrow night at another service over the mountains but I will stay at the cabin and Sis. Schreckhise will come up with me. She is very very tired from the weekend and having some contractions as well!!! A very diligent and hard worker!
We had great services really every one. The youth deal was an outdoor service out on the lot where they plan to build there house this year. It is out in the country and probably a mile from the ocean. Their country is very beautiful here.
The youth prayed a long time after the preaching; probably at least half or more that were there doesn’t have the Holy Ghost, so it is a struggle for them. Three other churches came in with their young people for the weekend.
Then Sunday moring, church was here in La Ceiba. Worship was awesome and two received the Holy Ghost before the preaching. There was an anointing in the preaching followed by another altar service. A great work being done and truly need to be covered with prayer! They are so happy that they have made the last payment on their church building. It has so much potential and they plan to start renovations.
We left at 3:30 Sunday afternoon for a 1 1/2 hour trip to Tacoa. Once again, the presence of the Lord blessed. The young people testified about the touch and strength they received at the Youth Retreat.
We are now headed for the mountains for a day to relax and enjoy the beauty of Honduras. Bishop is struggling some with his hip, but keeping up with the schedule pretty well!! We miss you all and are rejoicing in the good reports from the weekend services there.
We have had some experiences. When we arrived at the property for the service and cookout, a 15 foot snake was hanging high up in a tree where we were setting up tables!!!! Red!! I finally was able to see it but it was well camouflaged in the leaves. Then, Vanessa stood on some huge ants that bite like crazy! They were all over her shoes and skirt! Bit her hand bad! So standing on a chair with all the girls beating on her skirt, and a few shrieks, we had a little excitement for awhile!!! Ha!!
We won’t have contact now for a day or so, and we don’t have our pictures downloaded but will try to do that while we are in the cabin, so when we come back into service, we will be able send some hopefully!!!
Fewer things do I enjoy more than a gourmet meal prepared by my lovely wife. And no, for those so inclined, this seldom includes items from the seafood category. Ha! The Family Worship Center has been abundantly blessed with some wonderful cooks. Over the years seldom have my taste buds been disappointed by a delicately prepared dish presented by the ladies of our assembly. From scrumptious apple pies, rich cheesecakes, melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon buns, and homemade coffee ice-cream to irresistible lasagna, cream chicken, or turkey dinners… it’s GREAT! By the way, if you are waiting for me to list those ‘seldom’ experiences, don’t hold your breath!
When I walk through the door to my home there is nothing like smelling the aroma of my wife creating another culinary masterpiece. For hours prior to that exact moment she has slaved over a hot stove or mixing bowl, cautiously adding just the proper proportions of the correct ingredients. Do you think it needs a little more of this? Is it salty enough? However, when I sit down to dine, I have always attributed the flavor of the experience solely to the chef.
How wrong that is… It is a proven fact that food can only be tasted if it is mixed with saliva.
Let us cover the family and the entire church family in Belize with prayer at this time.

Additional Informaion From Sis. Haley’s FaceBook
The father, Elias, and his two sons, Emmanuel(14) and Alex,(12) was out on a canoe getting firewood. Â The boat dipped in the front, due to the heavy load, and was sucked in. Â Making all fall into the water. Â Emmanuel first was helping Alex to the banks, but soon got tired and his father took over. Alex was in panic and started pulling his father down. Â Elias felt like he was going to drown if he didn’t take off his boots. Â When he went under water to take off the boot, which had already filled with water and was pulling him in, Alex let go. Â Emmanuel was on the bank, saw what was happening, jumped back in to help. When he got to his father, who was already looking for Alex, they couldn’t find him.
Needless to say, we are glad that they arrived safely. Let’s continue to remember them in our prayers!
