Honduras Update 6-28-23

 Our BGU team started out the day by visiting a beautiful basilica, one of the largest in Central America. We met with priests who are doing some remarkable work in Tegucigalpa.


The views from the location in front of the church were amazing. We could see out to the whole city! And we got a tour of the entire facility with the priest. It's hard to describe the beauty of this place. 


We gathered for lunch, where we reflected on the ministries that we had learned about during our visit to the basilica. We were fortunate to be entertained by some local musicians.


In the afternoon we met up with the short term mission team from Pittsburgh. We joined forces with our translators, and we sent everyone out in groups to explore the city through a cultural immersion exercise. 


In the evening, the short term team unloaded all of the materials that they brought down from Pittsburgh for this week's camp with children from a local urban ministry. They'll be staying in the homes of local Honduran families, so they met up with their families and we prayed for them and sent them on their way. They're getting a fully Honduran cultural experience!


It's a joy to have both of these groups together. Today we'll be setting out to explore the city center of Tegucigalpa. More adventures to come!
