Stacy and I finished our successful 2-month furlough in Rhode Island yesterday. We were supposed to head back to Honduras on Tuesday, July 7th. However, we have postponed our trip back given the recent events of this past week. Those unfortunate events include: the coup to the democratically elected Honduran President, the bombing of KFC restaurant, a young boy killed yesterday at an unarmed rally supporting President Zelaya (killed by Military forces) both of these events just a few blocks from our house, and the recent 48 hour suspension of flights into Toncontin International Airport.

The new government has imposed a curfew in Tegucigalpa from 10PM – 5AM, and has limited media outlets such as local and some international television and radio stations by getting them off the air, an act that Amnesty International has strongly denounced.

We ask for your prayers so that no more blood may be shed and that the political and social stability may return soon. God bless Honduras!

Ephesians 6:12
