Wheelers Proceed With Mission Despite Turmoil

In their 28 October letter, Presbyterian missionaries Tim and Gloria Wheeler explain the difficult political situation in which they find themselves in Honduras. But they quickly return to telling their story of Christian mission, in this case their effort to help teach villagers in Estanzuela to build stoves that use 70% less firewood. These eco-stoves not only save human labor and remove smoke from villagers' homes, they help reduce deforestation, a worldwide concern. The Wheelers also talk about the importance of soccer to national pride in Honduras. You'll want to read their letter and find out how well your mission dollars are being spent in a desperate place in a difficult time.
