Open Hands Missions

Recent trip to Honduras.
We were privileged to work among the four churches making up Beulahland Baptist Association.
It was wonderful to be among the Christians of these churches and Billy and Betty Harper, my neighbors in Dry Creek.

We preached in the churches, spoke in schools, made home visits where we saw folks saved, and encouraged the hard-working pastors.

Our next trip is April 12-21. I'll be traveling with Reggie Burnaman and Bill Calloway to the Central African countries of Rwanda and Congo. We'll spend most of our time in war-torn eastern Congo among the churches and pastors. Additionally, we'll be visiting villages and homes sharing the gospel.

Our contact will be Southern Baptist Missionary Rusty Pugh.

How you can help:
Pray for us during the time we're in Africa. This will be my third trip to the continent. It is the most beautiful, disturbing, wonderful, complex place I've ever been. Hearts are ripe for Jesus in this part of the world.

If you can give, we'd appreciate it. Open Hands Missions is a volunteer organization and we depend on the gifts of others to partner with us. Contact me at curtiles@aol.com if you have questions or wish to help.

Summer 2009
We'll be part of a schoolteacher group traveling to Liberia, Africa. Liberia, on Africa's western coast, is emerging from a decade of civil war. Opportunities are many for Christians to serve, help, and rebuild.

Blessings,

Curt Iles
