Dear Friends,
Rhich and I are just fine here in Honduras but we
need your help. Not for us, but for the
Dayhome. The Dayhome is out of money and
has asked the women of our church to bring in food to feed the children. We have a small congregation of about 150
people of whom 60% are children. It
normally costs around $850 - $1,000 a month to run the Dayhome. Our church pays for the electricity and a
Mission provides clean drinking water. I
don’t know when the one salaried teacher was last paid – normally $100 a
month. We don’t need school supplies or clothes or toothbrushes – these
things are nice – we do need money to
buy food.
Please consider giving up the cost of 1 latte a
week or even 1 lunch a week to help support the Dayhome. Please make your check payable to Grace Bible Church of Tampa. In
the memo section, write Emmanuel
Dayhome in Honduras. Your check is
100% tax deductable and 100% goes to the Dayhome. Mail to:
Grace Bible
Church of Tampa.

The Emmanuel Dayhome is a place for single mothers
to take their children during the day while they go to work. Most of these women have menial jobs such as
selling bread or tortillas on street corners for as much as 2 tortillas for 3
Limperas (15 cents). The Dayhome is a
safe place where the children get a free nutritious breakfast and lunch. They have a fenced playground and classrooms
for pre-school Bible study and games. It
is a safe place to keep the kids from becoming little “street urchins” or drug
mules.
The Dayhome is out of money and food. They need to feed approximately 25 kids twice
a day. Please send money as soon as
possible. Any amount will help. Remember, your check is 100% tax deductable
and 100% goes to the Dayhome. Thank you.
