Honduras: People it is STILL not over
Yesterday Mel Z tried to enter Honduras from Nicaragua - he was about as effective as bee without a stinger - all noise and absolutely no point. He stepped over the border - waved at some supporters and retreated back to Nicaragua because no one could guarentee his safety. Smart man. Keep playing for the cameras that Honduras is some military-crazy, out-of-control country that is in need of a wealthy farmer who-makes-deals-with-leftist-politicians to lead the country out of its primal actions. And there is Obama waiting to swallow Mel Z fish - in fact - he even has the tarter sauce to go with it. PUH-LEAZ. As if these pics don`t tell you enough about how the people are feeling:

it's still happening...
Pray for Kidnapped Missionaries in Yemen
Would you take a moment to join us in prayer for the safety of six fellow believers who were kidnapped by suspected al-Qaeda linked terrorists in Yemen? On June 12, a group of Christians, including 7 Germans, 1 British man and 1 South Korean were kidnapped while picnicking in the northern Yemeni province of Saada. The believers were aid workers based at al-Jumhuri hospital in northern Yemen.
Three days later, the bodies of two Germans, Rita Stumpp, 26, and Anita Gruenwald, 24 (picture at right), as well as a South Korean woman, Eom Young Sun, 33 (picture at bottom right), were found in el-Nashour, in northern Yemen. Yemeni security officials have been searching for the other six Christians who are still missing. They are: Johannes Henschel and his wife Sabine, a German couple, and their three children - Lydia, 4, Anna, 3, and Simon, 11-months, and an unnamed British man.
Please pray for:-
- Comfort and strength for the families of the three murdered believers.
- Strength and comfort for the six still missing. Ask God to give them hope and faith as they go through this ordeal.
- The success for security officials in finding the six missing believers. - For Muslims in Yemen to open up to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Sincerely in Christ,

The Art of Coffee Harvest...
Last week we went to a finca (farm) where coffee is grown and harvested. For all you coffee-drinkers out there I wanted to show you that there is quite the process that goes into your drink. I also apologize to those of you who know more them me about this process - if I am mistaken at any point please feel free to correct me.
1) The beans are picked by hand of the trees. They look like this: (kind of reminds me of the stuff we use at Christmas.
2) Next they are run through this machine which removes the outermost shell. (The red shell.) This is done in Honduras by hand. Notice the pile of shells in the background.
3) They come out looking like this. Then they are dried in the sun. After another machine removes the membrane that is covering the bean (that is why it is white.)4) Then it is roasted. The wood that is used and different factors affect the flavour of the bean.
5) Then it is either bagged and sold for you to grind - or it is ground a packaged.
6) You make coffee.
7) You drink it.
8) You enjoy it.

Earliest Easter for the rest of our lives!
This year is the earliest Easter any of us will eversee the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!
Here's the facts:
1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 orolder, you are the only ones that were around for that!).
2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22,will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!
