Divine Appointments

Or, "If You Put Sheets on It, They Will Come"

July 21, 2007

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...oops, I mean 2 or three weeks ago in remote Choluteca, a Honduran pastor spoke a prophetic word to the poor peasants his church works with, "Mission teams are coming, and you need to be ready." He had never heard of me or my church.

Meanwhile, back in Tegucigalpa, I had been praying for someone, anyone to visit me. I have invited a zillion people from my church, so many I have a reputation, and when I returned in March and saw the spare bedrooms in the apartment Rafael rented for me I immediately went out and bought bunkbeds in order to be ready for houseguests.

I thought the fulfillment of my prayer was a visit from an American friend who was transferred from Honduras to Spain two years ago. She arrived Tuesday and was due to leave on Friday. However, this was only a 'down payment'; while I was on my way to the airport, I got a call on my cellphone. Allen Rainey wanted to know if I could house a mission team from my home church consisting of 10 men. Well, sure! On Friday? Piece of cake!

This SonLight Power team was scheduled to go to Guatemala to do solar power installations, but there was a lynching of a suspected child-trafficker; they doused him with gasoline and burned him. Missionaries Virgil and Dara Stoltzfus told the team not to come (Dara emailed an eyewitness report AND PHOTOS.) (Please pray for the people in Guatemala.)

Allen talked to his group (four father/teenage son teams) and they all felt called to go ahead, even with airline change fees of more than $300 per person. But then Allen forwarded the email and pictures to Continental Airlines, and Continental agreed to change the tickets AT NO CHARGE (that is the most miraculous part of the whole thing.)

Meanwhile, Allen was already contacting Meilyn Chan and her husband, Mauricio Moncada, who was going to translate for the team. The team had a place to stay, with me, but they needed a project and the Moncada-Chans had already been scouting for future trips. Meilyn cast about in her mind to think who might have a project for them on short notice, and she thought of her cousin Tita, the wife of a pastor in Choluteca. She called her cousin's cellphone.

Meilyn: I need to talk to you.

Cousin Tita: Great, I'm in Tegucigalpa right now; I'll be over in half an hour.

(Tita arrives.)

Meilyn: I have ten men coming on Friday and they need 2 churches or schools in which to install solar power.

Tita: No problem, we have several that are off the grid.

Meilyn: They need a place to stay.

Tita: No problem, one of the church members owns a hotel in Choluteca.

Meilyn: What about feeding them?

Tita: No problem, one of the church members owns a restaurant.

Meilyn: How will they get there and get around?

Tita: No problem, one of the church members owns a minibus and can bring them from Tegucigalpa, and we have enough members with SUVs to take them out to the sites.

!!!

Allen usually ships the equipment ahead of the team, but had been unable to do so this time, so he had paid more money and gotten folding solar panels that would fit in the luggage. Therefore the equipment was not stuck in Guatemala; all they lacked were poles to mount the panels and storage batteries. I had already scouted out a solar company in Teguz for Allen, so Meilyn bought the batteries and poles on Friday afternoon, and on Saturday we headed down to hot, hot Choluteca, where it is so hot "even the devil strips down to his undershirt."

When I left them they were working on the equipment in the driveway. Co-leader Lance Brown was teasing Allen, "What is it you do with your time? It only took two days to arrange this mission trip, so obviously you've been leading us on!"

So not only did I get "someone, anyone" from my church to visit me, I got ten men! In the natural course of events, I expected to have to wait until the 2008 mission team season, but God swept aside all obstacles in a breathtaking manner and dropped them in my lap. I'm going to get more bunkbeds because I think the floodgates of visitors have now been opened!

Update for Pastor Sponsors

June 15, 2007

We have learned quite a lot since Pastor Rafael began the project in 2004. The vision to equip and encourage pastors has not changed, but the path has been rather long and winding!

The vision was for twelve, and we had twelve, but it appears that not all of those will be part of the final group. Of the original group, Angel Argueta left the ministry and Pastor Ambrosio and Pastor Izaguirre no longer participate. Pastors Dórmez, Castejon, Herrera, Diaz , and Andino still attend the video teaching sessions. We took in several new pastors:Gladis Gutiérrez, Mario Silva and Ana Julia Reyes, but the latter two have since dropped out. Those who are active and involved with us are Gladis, Elías Ramirez, and Francisco Sierra. This is the core group in late 2006.

Missionary Pamela Hanson

After my 3 ½ months in the U.S. last winter for little Joel’s surgery, I am thrilled to be back in Honduras. Here I am visiting the farm of an Educatodos student.

For me, 2005-2006 was a time of testing if it was really God’s call to be here, but now I am ready to put down roots. Rafael and Patricia and I are looking for a house to buy together that would have a mother-in-law apartment for me so we can live ‘juntos, pero no revueltos, (‘together, but not mixed up’) as Rafael says. Meanwhile I have an apartment a convenient five doors down from them.

I would say that up till now we have been ‘forming’ and ‘norming’, but lately we have done more ‘storming’ as we contemplate a long-term partnership and forge the strong partnership that will allow us to 'perform' as God desires. God has been faithful to give us discernment and I give thanks for the skills and tools I have learned through Equipping Ministries International, which allow me to recognize and weather the storms!

Pastor Rafael Maradiaga, Founder

Pastor Rafael is still a dynamo. While I was in the U.S. last winter, the Lord brought him the opportunity to start the Educatodos literacy program, which is in line with our core focus of teaching and discipleship. I sent $500 for materials, and he did all the work. This photo is of him administering an exam to the Sunday 7th grade equivalency class.

Patricia, being a licensed teacher, is the Director, and shares the facilitation of the evening classes after working her two day jobs. Rafael facilitates all the daytime and weekend classes.

Pastor Francisco Sierra
Sponsors: Ken & Debbie Iding
Springdale, Ohio Vineyard

Pastor Francisco has told me that when I first came, he asked me for money. Later, he repented and asked my forgiveness. This was news to me; I had not understood him either time!

He wanted the money for a car, but although as he says, he never dreamed he could do it, he now has a pick-up truck, which he recently used to help me move my furniture. What a pleasant irony, that Francisco had wanted me to help him with a car, but instead he ended up helping me with a car (and the strong backs of himself and his son!)

He is taking on more responsibility for facilitating the Monday night DVD teaching for pastors. This picture shows him praying for Abigail, translator for our 2006 healing seminar.

More importantly, he is coming up with ideas related to his nephew Joel, and Joel’s mother Bertha and her other three children. We have been encouraging him to take on a pastoral role with regard to them, as the children’s father is not involved and their situation is very difficult. I am eager to help them improve their economic position, but it has not been clear exactly how to do so. Pastor Francisco is a key intermediary for me, since he knows them and their situation and Bertha can speak more freely to him than to me.

We have wanted to see him exercise more leadership, and I’m thinking that doing so with Bertha and Joel will be the training ground he has been needing. God’s plan is always so perfect!

Pastor Elías Ramírez
Sponsors: Mike & Laura Cummings/Ken & Debbie Iding

Vineyard

Pastor Elías always is the first to jump on the bandwagon. As soon as the idea of a septic system was mentioned, he started digging the leaching pit by hand. He has started three other groups using the International School of Ministry DVDs, two of pastors and one of church members. When I said I wanted a garden, he was there with his hoe hilling up the dirt in the front yard into raised beds, and now we are enjoying a bumper crop of sweet, hot radishes. (The peppers and onions take longer.) If my shower needs fixing, or my water reservoir needs the mosquito larvicide, Elías takes care of it with a smile. When we offeredscholarships for pastors’ children, Elías said, my son is not really a scholar, but there is an extremely bright boy in the congregation whom I would like to see receive the scholarship,and now young Erlin Ortiz is in his second year at a private Christian high school. Here he's constructing the settling tank for the septic system, the second and smaller of the two pits that he dug by hand.

Pastor Elías is in 5th grade in Educatodos, faithfully riding his bike down the mountain to class here every weekday. Mike and Laura sponsored a church wedding for him and his wife in 2005 (they were already legally married), and in 2006 they had a baby girl, their third child.

Pastora Gladis Gutiérrez
Sponsors: Georgia & Alan Kightlinger
Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Clifton

Pastora Gladis is a hardworking wife and mother with a servant heart who heard about us last year from Pastor Elías, who lives a bit below her on the mountain. She was in a difficult situation and praying fervently for help at the time.

Her church was started by two ladies from the Baptist mission who had a heart to evangelize in the neighborhood of Los Pinos. They started a church, but the (male) pastors who came never stayed. In between pastors, she would try to keep things going, with the blessing of the members. However, the Baptist mission would not recognize her as pastor because she is a woman. (None of our other pastorsget much interest or involvement from their [tiny/poor] denominations, but at least they are recognized as pastors!)

It was at this point that Pastora Gladis heard about our ministry and started coming to the teaching sessions, and she has stuck to us ever since. The Lord finally resolved her irregular position by causing the Baptists to allow her church to become independent of the mission. It is now a daughter church of Ministerio Cristiano Jehová Rafah, which is the legal name of our ministry in Honduras. The two founding ladies (who do not live in the neighborhood) were led of God to give their blessing and withdraw, leaving the leadership in the hands of Pastora Gladis and the church leadership. Here she is in a lighthearted moment with Pastor Mario Silva.

Pastor Oscar Dórmez

Springdale Vineyard

We will never forget the 2000 steps that we had to climb to get to Pastor Dórmez’ house! There were only two chairs, so he stood while we sat. Pastor Dórmez had only been a Christian for six months when the pastor of the church left and he was asked to take over. He works long hours for low pay but has persevered with the classes and now is in his fourth semester. We would like to see more of him but his current situation makes that difficult.

Pastor Omar pastors a Nazarene church The Nazarene denomination has a few more resources and so Omar has a decent cement-block church and house. However, like the other pastors he receives no financial support and little other involvement from the denomination. His oldest daughter, Heidy, is very intelligent and motivated and received a scholarship from us for the last two years of high school. She then went to work watching kids while studying accounting in the university, but when Rafael heard that he found her a job at a local company. It is pleasure to see her use her abilities and gain valuable experience as well as a better income.

Pastor Miguel Medina
Sponsors: Ken & Debbie Iding
Springdale, Ohio Vineyard

Pastor Miguel and his wife Norma are both at the first grade level in Educatodos. Because of this, they were able to sign their names instead of just making an 'X' when they stood up at the wedding of Valerio Garcia and Mirna Sanchez in April.

Pastor Mario Silva
Sponsors: Ken & Debbie Iding
Springdale Vineyard

Pastor Mario is an ex-gang member and still has his gang tattoo. One night while high after sniffing glue he had a dream in which he saw a bright light. When he woke up, he knew he had to go to church. He met with the Pastora every day but was reluctant to accept Christ because of his sinful state (!) His father, with whom he was not on very good terms, noticed that he was no longer staying out at night and asked what was going on. Mario told him, and his father said, “If you accept Christ, I will too.” So they did, and now they pastor together!

Mario says that becoming a Christian is about the only way to get out of a gang alive. However, you must be fervent because the gang watches you and will kill you if you are not devoted to your new Master.

Mario has left the group because he has been taught that believers should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, and part of our ministry is sponsoring Christian common-law spouses with children to get married. We are willing to pay the $30 for the marriage license even if one spouse (usually the husband) has not accepted Christ, following 1 Corinthians 12:12-14:

To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

If the unbeliever is willing to get married, we will help them. Legally there is recognition of common-law marriage in Honduras, but the believing spouses generally do not feel satisfied with that.

Ana Julia also came to us through Pastor Elías. She lives rather far from where we work and has since dropped out.




Our Missionary in Burundi

May 11, 2007
Excerpts from a correspondence:

April 14 2007

Excerpts from the
blog of my niece Christine Buettgen, 23, short term missionary to Burundi.

…the past three weeks, five of the thirteen kids have been in the hospital with serious malaria, and both moms were sick with malaria themselves.

…I ended up staying 5 extra days to help be a mother of 8 African children… I wore the same clothes everyday, was cooking over coals to feed the kids and staff, washing dishes and clothes by hand, and all the while trying to love on, discipline and raise these orphans. We made regular trips to the hospital to bring food and encouragement to the sick ones, and you honestly wouldn't believe the conditions of this hospital.

Earlier on in the week five year old Blaise fell and cut his head, and I [took] him to the hospital …[where he] received four stitches without any anesthesia, because it wasn't available, and the way that [he] looked at me…

I saw conditions that would be unacceptable even in the poorest hospitals in the States… an old man being carried by four nurses because they don't have a single wheelchair in the entire hospital…

…the lack of doctors on staff can be credited to a generation of educated people lost to war and disease…

…it becomes an awfully inescapable reality when you live it, when you see it with your own eyes…There shouldn't be such an enormous gap between the way people live in America and the way people struggle to survive in Africa.

Where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die…I wonder how many children, and adults for that matter, lose their lives because they simply live out of reach of any medical treatment?

Imana iguhezagire. God bless you all.

Email excerpt

Dear Christine,

…your mom sent me your latest post and I read it to Pastor Rafael and he said, “let’s send some local anesthetic and malaria medicine to her in Burundi” and I said, “That is from God” so on Sunday we’ll take an offering.

Just tell me where to send the medicine or the money!

Love

Aunt P

Email excerpt from Cindy Buettgen, my sister and Christine’s mother

…What a blessing, praise God for you and for Pastor Rafael. No wonder you want to work with him. I am truly humbled by his generosity and God’s grace.

Thank you for your words of encouragement re: [Christine’s safety.] I am praying for the devil of negativity to be gone!!!!

Love you,

[Cindy]

Email from Christine

Aunt Pam, you are an enormous blessing to me! When I read your email, I cried right here in the internet cafe. God is truly bringing nations together and is using the humble and poor of this world to shame the rich...thank you for supporting me in so many ways.

I am sharing in a small group in Bujumbura tonight and I will use the example of your church, being the hands of God even when they don’t have much to give, really incredible.

I think it would be best if your church could make a monetary contribution that we could set aside for medical needs of the children. You could send a check to my mom and she can put it in my account and I can transfer it to the YFC orphanage account here in Bujumbura. Is that okay with you?

Please keep me updated on how I can be praying for you and your people in Honduras. How are Joel and Bertha? I come home in a little over a month, hopefully we can reconnect before we both leave the country again.

Blessings on you Aunt Pamela!

Imana Iguhezagire,

Dear Christine,

We are all doing well. I saw Bertha today and she and Joel are fine. We can use prayer for the Lord to bring more workers for the harvest. Our projects are starting to take off and be more than we can handle by ourselves. We are praying for God to show us those he has appointed to partner with us – both in person and financially.

I just sent your mom $100 as the offering for Burundi from the churches of Honduras. I wanted you to get it before you leave there! I’m sure you are right that shipping actual medicine would be far too difficult.

We are so excited about the opportunity to partner in the ministry in Burundi. I translated your blog into Spanish and put it up on the wall along with maps and information in Spanish from Wikipedia. Several of our literacy students used Burundi for an assignment they had!

Pastor Rafael says with pride that you are our missionary in Burundi. We can’t wait to see what God is going to do through this connection, both in Honduras and in Burundi. I have been saying that my dream is to see missionaries sent out to other countries as a result of our work with these slum churches, but I didn’t think we’d begin sending support to a missionary so soon! God is so faithful – when we are aligned with his will, we don’t have to figure everything out. He will show us the steps!

So, from the churches of Ministerio Cristiano Jehová Rafah in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, grace and peace to you and to the brothers and sisters in Burundi. We praise God for you and pray that this gift may not only save people from malaria, but also be multiplied by God in ways that we can’t even imagine.

Your loving aunt,

Pamela

"Educate All"

May 5, 2007

Twenty-six youth and adult students in grades 1-9 meet weekly in the home of missionary Pamela Hanson. There are classes 7 days a week to accommodate the schedules of working students.

Pastor Francisco Sierra, right, with other eighth-grade students.

Background

Ministerio Cristiano Jehová Rafah equips and encourages pastors in poverty-stricken areas of Honduras.

Our vision is to disciple pastors so that they will build up their churches to share the Gospel and bless their communities, and in turn disciple other pastors to do the same.

Currently we work with 20 pastors. Some are illiterate, and many others have only a 3rd- or 6th-grade education. Their formal training as pastors is also limited, and we provide training for them in Bible, theology, and practical matters relating to leading a church.

In addition to affecting their ministry as pastors, illiteracy can seriously impede their ability to earn a living; even those who have some schooling are finding their opportunities limited by the lack of an official diploma.

We are using a Honduran government curriculum, “Educatodos,” to teach 26 youth and adults, Christian and non-Christian, from first to ninth grade. Our vision is to have 50 students.

The program is presented via audio recording with the assistance of a facilitator. Upon satisfactory completion of each level, students receive an official certificate recognized in all sectors of Honduran society.

Classes are held seven days a week and the facilitators are volunteers from our organization, serving above and beyond their normal duties.

"Leaving Fornication Behind"

April 13, 2007

An unseasonable storm had Allen Rainey trapped in remote Puerto Lempira on the north coast of Honduras. He had already postponed his departure three days because of delays in the arrival of the solar panels for the orphanage. Now it was clear he would not make his plane connection to return home.

When a small plane touched down, he quizzed airline personnel, “Where is that plane going?” “To Tegucigalpa,” they said. Allen thought of his friends there and asked if there was room for him. Yes indeed, and an hour later he landed in Teguz.

I was with my ministry partner, Dr. Rafael Maradiaga, buying beds for my apartment. I had said to him two days earlier on my return to Honduras, “We’ve got to buy beds so that we will be ready for guests.” (Part of our vision is to have a guesthouse) We were about to go to the cashier and pay for them when my cell phone rang. It was Allen! “Where are you??” I asked. “At the airport in Teguz!” “Don’t move,” I said, “we’ll be there in half an hour.”

The first guest had already arrived, even before the beds! He was accommodated with a bedroom at Rafael’s house, the family doubling up to make room for him.

I had spoken to Allen and Ann the previous year about our ministry of marrying couples with children who had come to Christ. (See article) He said, “Since I’m here, why don’t I go ahead and give you money for a wedding?” and handed me $40. Rafael immediately called two of our pastors and told each one to bring a couple by in the morning before Allen left for the States. (I figured if more than one couple showed up, our ministry would sponsor the other wedding.) Pastor Miguel Medina was there bright and early with brother Valerio Garcia, father of 6, who earnestly expressed his desire to “salir de la fornicación (leave fornication behind.)” He shook hands with Allen and each went on his way – Valerio to work, and Allen to the airport.

Today we had the pleasure of attending the wedding. Pastor Miguel had taken the couple to the various government offices to get all the necessary paperwork, including the birth certificates of all 6 children! Finally, the big day had arrived. We took a taxi to the bus stop at the central market at 6:30 am, where we met Pastor Miguel and the whole family. Brother Valerio was smiling broadly - a happy bridegroom if ever I saw one! We set off - even the chickens on the bus seemed happy.

In about an hour we arrived in the village of Tatumbla, where it is quicker and cheaper to get married. Kind of a Vegas of Honduras, I guess! The closer you get to the city, the more bureaucratic and costly the process of getting married.

We got to City Hall at 9:00. The ceremony was scheduled for 10:00. Other couples began to arrive, and the proceedings finally got under way about 10:30. Valerio and Mirna were the third couple to get married. (Pastor Miguel told us that when he got married in Tegucigalpa, they arrived at 8:00 am and were the 26th couple in line!)

The town clerk read off the dates of birth, marital status, and identification numbers of the bride and groom, and asked if they wanted to marry each other. Hearing a ´yes´ from both, the mayor pronounced them married, and while the “Wedding March” from “Lohengrin” played on a cassette recorder, the bride, the groom and both witnesses signed a long document in several places. Rafael nudged me with a smile as Pastor Miguel and his wife signed the document. They are now able to write their names for the first time because they are learning to read and write in our literacy program. (They are currently in first grade.)

When the signing was done, the mayor led the spectators in a round of applause for the newlyweds and we stepped out onto the porch for the wedding photos. We celebrated with a wedding lunch of fried chicken and Pepsi.

As we waited in the town market for the return bus, brother Valerio looked at his son and his 5 daughters and said proudly, “Now you are all legitimate!”

Reproduction

Pastors multiply rapidly
April 11, 2007

Pastor Rafael began the training program with 12 pastors and borrowed DVDs. The Lord provided our own copy of the International School of Ministry curriculum, and we now have 19 pastors and 18 laypersons receiving the teachings weekly in 7 locations. Pastors Elias Ramirez and Miguel Medina have formed four additional groups so that we now have a 2nd and a 3rd generation!

Principles of Kingdom Accounting

March 3, 2007 Here is a very happy Joel ready to return to Honduras and show his family how he can walk!

We have been using a ministry model that suggests evaluating projects and programs by the following Kingdom standards:

  • Did God multiply the resources?
  • Have people—besides those directlyinvolved—been blessed or favorably impacted by the project?
  • Was the love of God evident? Were his intentions demonstrated?
  • Did those who observed the project give praise and glory to God?
  • Did God get the credit—more than the people who carried out the project?
Here are just a few of the ways that God multiplied the resources for Joel:

Financially
· Not only did he provide free medical treatment, he also ordained that the considerable non-covered expense of the braces would be quickly reimbursed.
· Many people’s hearts were moved to contribute to Joel’s needs on his return to Honduras. He is now in a private bilingual school because of this.

Relationally:
· A number of busy people took time to visit and play with Joel, some on multiple occasions. This was my most important need, breaks from the 24/7 responsibility for their welfare and happiness, and is truly a miracle in the American culture.
· A boy with mild autism who often played with Joel made remarkable progress in his interpersonal interactions – when we left, I would not have been able to tell that he had ever been anything other than normal. A special affection arose between this family and Joel and Bertha.

Spiritually
· Bertha returned with peace about her life in Honduras. She has continued to walk in this despite the difficult situation with the children’s father.
· Many persons were obedient to give time, talent and treasure.
· Many persons had the chance to meet people who have actually gone hungry.

Miraculously
· Joel is a delightful but normal boy who can charm or irritate. On one particular day we had doctors’ appointments from 9 to 5. We spent over three hours just in the dentist’s office as she worked on both of them between other patients. It could have been nightmarish, but Joel remained sunny the whole day – and so did I! I’m sure the toys I brought and those in the dentist’s office helped, but I am 100% certain that God gave us a special grace to get through that day.
· I asked my sister to pack us a lunch for the plane. I asked for 4 sandwiches, but she made six. The uneaten sandwiches and other snacks ended up “by chance” with Bertha when we parted at the airport. She told me later that on her return she found no food in the house because the children’s father had not given them any money. They were able to eat that night because of those sandwiches.


Matthew 25:39-40 When did we see you sick?... Inasmuch as you did it for the least of these, you did it unto me…
