Will You Sit Down and Pray With Me?

 

Super Mario Chair Fund

 

Buh dun duh dun dun duh, DUNH!  Super Mario is what I have come to know him as over the years.  There is really no problem too small or large he can’t fix. 

One time after a long week of work in and out of Tocomachu, Ciriboya, and Limon, the medical brigade I was on went out dancing at the local festival in our honor.  After many a do-see-do, lawnmower, and fisherman, Super Mario gave us the go sign as soon as he detected the smallest chance of trouble entering the discoteca. 

Other times he has gotten our trucks out of the mud, solved logistical crises, become a pseudo-interpreter, and served as an information hub.  However, what makes Mario so super is his work as a pastor.

Pastor Mario’s church, “Arco de Jehova,” in La Ceiba continuously grows.  More children, teenagers, and their families join the church for the lively services and personal sense of community.  The knockout sermons aren’t too bad we hear either!  What Mario and his wife “Pastora” Leslie (Princesa Durazno) are running out of, however, are CHAIRS!

In order to accommodate growing attendance, Mario asks for 100 chairs or $1000 in donations to purchase the chairs the church prefers.  He and Leslie will gladly accept chairs donations on the AHMEN Christmas container and urgently need help purchasing the seats they have in mind now.

Why should you donate?  Mario and Leslie are liaisons to AHMEN in Honduras.  Mario teaches clean water using Sawyer Water Filters, and Leslie makes jewelry using natural materials to fundraise for projects.  Their success, for many AHMEN teams, is our success.  If a set of 100 chairs is holding them back from the confident and comfortable cathedral expansion in the name of Christ, then let’s break down this barrier with Mario and Leslie together!

Donate to the Super Mario Chair Fund today!  You can donate here by selecting Rio de Agua Viva team and then emailing where your donation goes to AHMENinHonduras@gmail.com.  You can also make out a check to AHMEN with “Super Mario Chair Fund” on the “For” line and mail to AHMEN at 287 Tommy Robinson Road Jasper, AL 35504.

Thank you for your help expanding God’s kingdom in Honduras with AHMEN today.  Tomorrow, let’s talk about how you can volunteer on a team to serve on the ground!

Together, we are the difference!
