Greetings once again from mountainous Honduras. The month of June has been an interesting one with plenty of open doors to preach to new people the glorious Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!
Our little church in El Carrizal is doing well. We have visitors coming every Sunday. Most are not saved, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to give them the Gospel. My two converts Nelson and Zenia are excited about so many visitors coming, and every week they are busy passing out tracts and inviting more people to attend our services.
I’m still teaching in the Bible Institute, and having a great time exposing the heresies, and paganism of the Roman Catholic Church. My students are learning a lot and are excited about witnessing to Catholics and telling them how to be born again through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ without works. One of my students is a Pastor in a little community in the mountains of La Paz, Honduras called “Las Cañadas.” He asked me to preach to his congregation, so on June 26th, together with Eric Sanchez the Bible Institute director and fellow missionary, we drove two hours over the mountains, and then walked another thirty-five minutes through the forests, hills, and valleys to arrive at their meeting place. I preached to them on the subject of “Jesus Christ the Lamb of God!” It was a real blessing, and I enjoyed being so far away from everything in this beautiful, tranquil, mountainous village. I also ate the local food of tortillas (about an half an inch thick), scrambled eggs, rice, beans, and cheese. The only drawback was in spending the night there, as the people in this village are not very tall. They gave me a bed to sleep on, and my legs stuck out the end of the baseboard. (And I thought I was a short fellow, but in this little area, I was almost a giant!) But I went to sleep content knowing I was doing the work of the Lord.
On June 29th, I had the privilege of preaching the Gospel to an entire soccer team in the little village of Chimbo in the mountains outside of Tegucigalpa. Zenia’s brother was the captain of the team. He is lost, and asked Zenia if I could come and try to start a church there. He said he would gather the whole team together to listen if I came. I did just that, and I preached my guts out about salvation by grace through faith in the precious shed blood of Jesus Christ to over twelve teenagers. I had a great time, and we had a few professions of faith. Sadly, Zenia’s brother did not get saved, and told us in so many words not to come back. (It turned out that all he was looking for was a “rich American” to buy Soccer Equipment for his team.)
The children from my Children’s ministry are starting to come back again for services. I’m preaching to them and teaching them as much Bible as I can. But most of them are already going to the “Santidad” (Holiness) church up the street on Sundays, where they are learning to dance and attend “Christian rock ‘n roll Concerts.” My heart bleeds for these children and I want so badly to see them saved and living for the Lord, but ultimately, they will go to the flesh if they are not saved and a fleshly religious system. Please pray for them.
Finally, let me close with a word of thanks to the W.I.N.G.S Bearing Precious Seeds association and Bro. Bob Adams for sending us a pallet of over 30 boxes of New Testaments, John and Romans, and Bibles. Missionary Homero Romero and I journeyed up to the port of Puerto Cortes and had nothing but problems in trying to get these “precious seeds” out of Customs. But after several days, we succeeded and traveled around joyfully distributing many boxes to other Missionaries, Pastors, and preachers. The rest we divided among ourselves and have been busy getting them into the hands of the Honduran people.
As always, thanks again for all your continued prayers and support.
Because of Christ Jesus our Blessed Lord,
Robert Breaker III
