Atlanta, 18 March 2013
As you know, my son, Davis, and I will be traveling to El Progreso, Honduras June 26 – July 3 on a mission trip with the “Hearts 2 Honduras” organization based in Franklin, TN.
The heart of “Hearts 2 Honduras” is to provide much needed food, shelter, education and love to children who have been abandoned or are at risk due to the extreme poverty of their families. Their passion is to bring the love and hope of Jesus Christ and a brighter future to the poorest of the poor in Honduras.
We will be building houses in Mount Olivos, a small village approximately seven miles outside of El Progreso. We will also be leading Vacation Bible School, soccer games and other fun activities.
It’s amazing to hear the stories of how God uses these opportunities for serving others to shape our own hearts. Gina and I feel strongly that this experience will provide an incredible perspective for Davis as he turns 10 and begins to enter the next season of his young life. I, too, look forward to the opportunity to serve the least of these and to the growth that is sure to come as a result. Doing so alongside my oldest son will be an experience I pray that we will both remember forever.
I am writing to ask for your support. The primary way to help us is with your prayers. We covet your prayers on our behalf for a successful trip and true change in the hearts and lives of those we will be blessed to serve in Honduras. Of course, we would also appreciate your financial support if you are able and feel led. Our trip will cost a total of $3,500. We were blessed to raise the initial $1000 we needed for our deposit by hosting a “Hot Dogs for Honduras” and “Hotcakes for Honduras” events in our home this year. Should you wish to contribute, checks can be mailed to my attention at 5875 Millwick Drive, Alpharetta, GA, 30005. Checks can be made payable to me directly or to “147 Million Orphans” the organization of which Hearts2Honduras is a part.
Thank you so much for your love and support of the McCarns.
Sincerely,
Phil
