In a few days I fly to Honduras for our next project, a Region-wide Evangelistic Crusade November 5-8 in Gracias, Honduras! In tandem with this event, we will proclaim Jesus Christ Crucified & Resurrected to hundreds of students and teachers in local schools, such as in the Philippines’ school program photo below. Please, join us in prayer for a sweeping move of God that will stir the regional population to come hear how wonderful it is to know and follow Jesus Christ, just like in Acts 13:44, where the Bible says,“…almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.”
There is a special place in my heart for the Spanish-speaking world because my mom, brother, and I are from New Mexico…our hometown is Las Cruces, NM (my mom, Pat, and my brother, Todd, still live there. Please, pray for God’s will to be done in their lives). Growing up in the Hispanic culture is a natural part of who I am, and I connect with the Spanish culture better than any other. I can hardly wait to preach the Gospel in English and then listen as a Honduran pastor interprets and preaches the words into Spanish! The local Honduran churches have been working hard for the past 5 months praying and mobilizing for this event. The photo below is a copy of the thousands of flyers, posters, and banners, along with radio and TV spots, that have now saturated the entire region with news of, and invitations to, the crusade. We are asking and believing God for a HARVEST of people to turn to Jesus Christ…to then become active and growing disciples in the local churches! God is moving because the word began to spread during the preparations for this crusade, and two other towns in Honduras have now invited our ministry to conduct crusades…God opens doors!
I want to say a special thank you to my home church, Houston’s First Baptist Church (HFBC), because they recently gave a $5,000 “Challenge Gift” to our ministry! The financial support from HFBC, and allowing our ministry to host our annual “BENEFIT DINNER” at the church, is helping our ministry add more PARTNERS who help us cover project needs, such as the $13,400 budget for the current Honduras project (our next benefit is February 20, 2015, and those of you in the Houston area are invited to join us for an evening of fellowship, good food, and hearing about our ministry!).
Since we first announced that HFBC gave our ministry this “Challenge Gift,” other people felt moved in their hearts to take advantage of this opportunity to help us multiply this gift, and you can too! You can give a Safe, Secure, & Easy online gift today on our website. Some people prefer sending a gift directly to our office, while others prefer giving through stocks, bonds, and planned giving. If you choose to help us equal and surpass this $5,000 challenge gift, your gift of any size will help families and young people all over the world say YES to Jesus, and they will have their lives and souls changed forever! THANK YOU!
For Honduras,
Scott Nute
