Good Shepherd UMC/ Master’s Way UMC Honduras Mission 2007 Report
For the second time and second time in three years we were able to organize a team of missionaries to return to Yorito, Honduras to aid the people of this village and the surrounding area. Our team consisted of twenty-six(26) individuals from all walks of life. We met the needs of the community by providing a wide variety of missions. Our medical clinic served over nine-hundred(900) Hondurans in Yorito and Yoro. We fitted three-hundred and fifty(350) people with prescription eyeglasses and more than two-hundred(200) with reading glasses in the same villages. We served food to many children through the feeding kitchen that we established in 2005. Our team also funded this kitchen that routinely feeds more than one-hundred(100) children, six days a week for the next four(4) months. We hosted nearly three-hundred(300) children at our afternoon Bible School daily. The people of Yorito and many of the surrounding villages of Vallecillos, Pueblo Viejo, El Portillo, and Luquigue will continue to benefit from the tireless efforts of our roaming veterinary clinic which treated over six-hundred(600) dogs and four-hundred farm animals(400) . Our construction team continued the work of previous teams by running all new electrical service to the upstairs of the mission house. We also installed four(4) showers, although, we discovered that there is not adequate water pressure to support these. These improvements were made with the long term goal of housing short term mission teams at this house to allow us to better serve the people of the community.
