Update on Honduras Team

Honduras Mission Team

A political coup occurred in Honduras Sunday, June 28. Our mission team is safe and is able to provide the medical brigades to the locals. Their Honduran advisers have been monitoring the situation everyday and the team reassess the safety issues in the evening. At this point all airports and travel remain open, the team remains safe and the country maintains peace. Please keep the country and the team in your prayers. Thank you.
