HONDURAS MEDICAL MISSION (March 11-18)
Our Mission Statement
The Honduras medical missions team from Lipscomb seeks to evangelize through attending to medical, physical, and spiritual needs. While our project is called a medical mission, as we set up clinics in different "barrios" and see over 2,000 patients, we emphasize to those accompanying us the need to talk about Jesus and what He has done for us. Our mission includes handing out literature and talking to the patients about spiritual issues and about attending church services with us, while at the same time, we have a team who teaches the children Bible lessons as they are waiting to be seen by the doctors. We take food to the very indigent and conduct a devotional in their homes. We visit the nursing home, taking them sheets, blankets, and personal items, and we share a devotional with them. We visit the orphanage, taking our doctors to attend to the children's needs, while we teach them Bible stories, throw them a party, and leave them school supplies. We hold a youth rally where we preach the good news to the young people there. By ministering to both spirit and body, we hope to share God's love in sending His son to the whole world.
How Can You Help?
Pray for each team member (35) that we might be safe as we travel to plant seeds, teach, encourage, and love our fellow Christians and the lost. We would like to thank the members of the Franklin congregation for you kind support of this mission. Your donations of money and supplies are appreciated by the mission team and the people in Honduras.

EL SALVADOR MISSION TRIP (March 12-20)
Our annual Latin American Mission trip to El Salvador will take place on March 12th-20th. Steven Kirby, Kim Krantz, Zachary Krantz, and Justin Vaughn will make the trip south to support our missionary Enrique Rodriquez and the church in the city of Tonacatepeque (Tonaca).
We will also be there serving the community with a medical mission along with spreading the gospel to those we meet. We will be going into homes, schools, and just meeting individuals out in the community to try to encourage them with the word of God. This will be Steven's fifth trip, Justin's second trip, and the Krantz's first trip to El Salvador. We are looking forward to having a great time and opportunity with the people we meet in the community and on our team. We are going again with a group from the Mt. Juliet, TN church and others from around the region. Thank you for all of your donations and support. Please keep us in your prayers while we are gone on our trip.
