This year, the Lord led MAG into a season of building - not just facilities and infrastructure, but PEOPLE and communities! Systems and equipment, aircraft and flight programs, hospitals, etc. are necessary, but built only to give us the capacity to serve others in meaningful ways. This has been a fantastic year of building lives and families and deeper faith; a year of equipping leaders and nurturing disciples of Jesus across every age and stage of life; a year of encouraging and being encouraged.
Powered By The Son
Last month we were so blessed by two teams from Holmes County, Ohio. Both of them worked jointly together with another church to raise the funds to purchase a solar system robust enough to meet the current demands of the clinic and to have enough energy to keep it stable under heavy use, for instance, during our brigades. Not only did they provide the equipment but they shipped it down and to provided the labor and technicians to install it. It truly was an effort of love and we are so grateful.
Dental Brigade
This spring, we hosted a dental team for a week. All but one in this team had worked together in the past doing many mission trips together. Having been all over the world, they knew what to expect, and they worked together flawlessly. I loved going to the clinic to watch them work together. Obviously a big part of our health outreach is caring for the souls of our patients as well.
VBS 2025
This has been the busiest two months on record for us here in Rus Rus. Busy, but oh so good. We have throughly been enjoying our time here with all of the teams who have graced our doorstep. We’ve been encouraged and uplifted so much.
The first week of January we started the new year with our annual VBS here in Rus Rus and some surrounding communities.
Community Learning Center Project Update
One of our major projects this year is turning an old forgotten building into a COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER. It began with seeing a need, which sparked into a vision. We began to toss around the idea of a central, neutral place where we could host pastoral events, marriage conferences, health care education.
2024 Year End Ministry Report
Each year seems to be summarized by a definable ministry theme, phase, or focus - usually not of our own design. This has been true ever since the start of MAG’s work in Honduras over 20 years ago. And yet, there has always been the consistent thread of showing genuine compassion in the name of Jesus.

2024 Honduras Medical Outreach
March has arrived, and with it dry season has shown its dusty face about a month early. The grass has turned brown and wildfires have began. I am praying that the rain will come early this year.
Our annual brigade was the biggest yet. During the course of a week we saw over 860 patients. As usual we had people come from all over this area to receive medical and dental care. This year we had some new things to offer those who came to see us.

2023 Year End Newsletter
We are praising God for blessing our efforts in Honduras and for achieving many significant milestones this year. We flew the highest number of life-flights. We reached more villages with Vacation Bible School. We hosted two pastoral training sessions and held many community outreach events, all geared towards evangelism and life transformation- more eternal impact than any prior year!
Speaking of God’s Word
We were also privileged to be joined by a Central America representative of Faith Comes By Hearing, who work to equip believers worldwide with access to the Bible in audio format. She brought solar-powered audio devices with the Bible in Miskito and Spanish. These devices will empower the church leaders to share God’s word with their communities.
