Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Greetings once again from Honduras! Things are going well here and I am keeping very busy. At times I wonder if I’m not too busy as my health has suffered for it. Yet, I’m enjoying serving the Lord and being active in his service.
On Sundays I leave from my house in La Esperanza, Intibuca very early in the morning in order to drive the three hours to the capital city of Tegucigalpa. There I hold Bible Studies with Nelson Corrales and Zenia. He wants to start a church in his home, but we’ve gotten off to a rocky start. It seems that he moved into a house right next door to a Charismatic church, and most of his neighbors go there. But, that hasn’t stopped old Nelson from preaching and passing out tracts to his neighbors. Please pray that we may see some of them saved, as we continue to work in this area.
On Sunday afternoons, we have started going downtown to the Central Park to pass out tracts and preach on the street. Nelson is a real go-getter. He keeps telling me that “I need to pass out tracts faster!” What a blessing! He has yet to preach on the street, but he keeps saying that he will try it one day. Please pray that he’ll muster up the courage to do so!
After spending the night at Nelson’s house on Sunday evening, I leave on Monday’s to head back home. There I try to study a little bit as Tuesdays I travel to the village of Magdalena. It is a four-hour bus trip and I have to walk an hour into town in order to make my bus.
On Tuesday and Wednesday nights I am teaching Bible to the group of about 20 faithful people who gather there in Magdalena. We have found a bigger building now as we are renting the Municipal Warehouse to meet in. We are also in the process of organizing into a local church! I’ve even started teaching English on Wednesday afternoon in the hope that this will bring more people to the services.
Just before midnight on Wednesday night, the bus leaves for La Esperanza. It arrives there a little after four in the morning, and after the hour walk home, I try to rest a little bit from my journey. I usually spend Friday studying and preparing for my teaching classes, or running errands in town to buy groceries or other things. Then on Saturday at two in the afternoon, I have a children’s ministry going on here at the house! So as you can see, I’ve been keeping myself very busy here in Honduras!
Also in June, I had the privilege of baptizing Nelson and Zenia in the little village of Guanko, Olancho, Honduras. I preached to over 50 people there the night before, and the next morning we had over 60 people show up at the baptism service there on the banks of the river. I preached a message to them again, and then baptized Nelson and Zenia in front of Nelson’s family, friends, and neighbors. What a testimony it was to those of Nelson’s village that they too need to come to the Jesus Christ by faith in his death, burial, resurrection, and precious shed blood!
The very last day of June my car broke down on the way to teach Bible to Nelson. I lost three days in the process of trying to find a mechanic to get it fixed. However, it turned out to be a blessing as I was able to lead a young man named Luis to the Lord!
Also, I would like to thank the KING JAMES BIBLE SOCIETY for sending me 200 Spanish Bibles to give away here in Honduras, which I received the beginning of May. Also, thanks to the Bible Believer’s Baptist Church Tract Ministry in N. Canton, Ohio for sending me over 6000 gospel tracts as well. And a special thanks to you all for your continued prayer and support!
Please remember the following in your prayers:
Nelson to find work (as he was recently laid off).
Lacho (Nelson’s brother) to be saved.
In His Service,
Robert Breaker III
1 Sam. 12:24!
