For our family, one of our most memorable moments occurred in Honduras. We had the wonderful opportunity to serve in the inner city of Tegucigalpa, the trash dump, various barrios and communities as well as the AFE school.

The Bedenkops in via Linda Miller. Our entire team stayed with families for our outreach. They shared their lives and homes with us, truly giving us a Latin style view of home.

Every time we left our little home, a swarm of children would come to play with the boys and just touch them.

The trash dump, where 1,000 people and over 200 children live and work, searching for food and items of value.

|
We ministered with the love of Christ by giving fresh water and helping to build relationships.

Children here work from 5 in the morning until 8 at night searching through the trash for recyclables and earning approx. 1 dollar a day. Young girls as young as 7 sell themselves to help their family as well.

The AFE (Amor, Fe, Esperanza: Love, Faith, Hope) school, a ministry to the children of the trash dump that provides them with hope, an education and the love of Christ. Each day they receive a meal, love, a free education and a chance to make a difference. The school actually pays the parents 50cents a day so they will allow their children to come and not lose their income from trash collecting.

Yes, we love sharing God's love in the nations.
