It feels as though we have been putting the finishing touches on our dormitory since we opened its doors in February of 2009. We have hung cabinets and curtain rods, installed sinks and faucets, painted the interior of the first floor and the second floor, picked out fabrics and plants. Even after all of these improvements, we were still lacking one very important thing...the o...

January has been the month of visitors. We had some incredible time to plan for the upcoming season and prepare our facilities for the impending arrival of our visiting groups. Claudia Berry, a strategic planner from Healing Place Church, first came to us in May of 2008. She was instrumental in getting the mission and vision of Healing Hands Global out of our hearts and onto p...

The summer season ended with a BANG!  For months we have been praying for the completion of roofs on the ministry grounds.  A new roof for the hospital, preferably one that didn't have 100+ leaks, a roof for the missionary house for our family, and a roof for the little building close to the hospital that we affectionately call "the snack shack".  God answered ab...

We were starting to think that all of our remaining summer teams were going to cancel due to the political unrest in our country, but God gave us a breath of fresh air brought by a team from Seacoast Church in South Carolina. Although the team only consisted of 6 people, the dining room of the dorm was once again filled with laughter and love.Pastor Ron Hamilton, who is also a ...

In June, we had 2 weeks of medical mahem as a team from Lee University brought the thunder! We saturated the area with medical coverage by hosting brigades in 7 different villages, including a 2 night, 3 day stay in Las Minas. It was incredible to finally see medical, dental, optical, and community education all going at the same time. Their team comprised of Lee...

In June we had the pleasure of hosting a medical team from Westmore Church of God in Cleveland, TN. At the same time we had the opportnuity to welcome two nurses from another team visiting in La Ceiba and a couple of old friends (and now RNs) Doug and Pam Lolley. It was incredible to see how God made a way for each one of the group members to find a way to Honduras specifically...
