The Lord is good to all,
and his mercy is over all he has made.

CHE at ECHO
We recently had the opportunity to teach Community Health Evangelism at ECHO in Fort Myers, FL. ECHO is an international agricultural mission support organization and they wanted us to teach their interns and some of the staff.
The Community Health Evangelism course is a participatory learning process that originally consisted primarily of preventative health lesson with a Biblical discipleship component. That has now grown to a wide range of community development topics contained in over 6,000 lessons. This information was particularly exciting for these interns at ECHO as most have intentions to do mission work in their future. We pray the Lord continues to bless ECHO, the interns, and their staff as they pursue and seek to glorify him!
Community Health Evangelism has been the basis for our mission methodology, and we look forward to how the Lord continues to use it in our ministry in Honduras as well as around the world through the missionaries we have the privilege to train!
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
Psalm 34:88

Praises!
- We had a fabulous time at the mission conference held by Fellowship Bible Church, FBC, near Harpers Ferry, WV! So great to reunite with many longtime friends and make some new ones!
- We were also very blessed to be able to visit with Mt Airy PCA in Mt Airy, MD. Some of our friends there go back 30 years, so our time together was sweet but too short!
- Unfortunately, the prep work for the Compressed Earth Block course was cut short as Matt had to return home to help Ellen who was suffering with kidney stones. Praise the Lord that the stones have appeared to have past!
