Honduras

One of the first churches that was established when my parents opened the first holiness work on the north coast of Honduras in 1967 was in a village called Armenta. We visited this church on the Sunday after Thanksgiving 2007. This is the "road" beside the church.
Dad preached a wonderful message and gave an altar call. The man in the yellow shirt and his brother to his left were little boys when my Dad told their Dad about Jesus. Vonnie and I were 2 and 3 when we moved to Honduras and Marc was born there a couple years later. This is the sign welcoming my parents back to Honduras. Interesting spelling of "Sankey." :-)


One of the first Honduran converts (she's 100 now). 40 years ago my Dad found her husband (Don Priciliano) working by the road. Don Priciliano told my Dad, "My neighbor and I have wondered if anyone would ever come and tell us about God."

This is the 40th Anniversary celebration in San Pedro Sula. There were 350 people in the building and at least that many outside, standing at the windows, doors, on the sidewalk and in the street. It was a very special time for our family.

A beautiful bird-of-paradise plant.
