<strong>2015</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
The John 1010 Generation
Dear Friends,<br />
We hope you will be impressed with the successes from <strong>2015</strong> that we share with you in this report; we certainly are. Your investment in<br />
Mission UpReach continues to help us pursue our vision of establishing 1010 congregations in Western Honduras in this generation.<br />
Some of our most exciting accomplishments from the past year include growing to 10 autonomous, self-supporting congregations in<br />
our region; guiding the legalization of the marriages of over 60 couples who had been living in common law arrangements; and the<br />
continuing efforts of our local, Honduran evangelistic team that have resulted in over 438 baptisms in the region. These and many more<br />
accomplishments are shared in this report!<br />
Mission UpReach is also excited to announce the start of a new ministry in 2016 called The Moses Project. This ministry is a full-time<br />
boarding facility and functioning agricultural center for 50 high school-aged boys from local villages. Those young men will receive<br />
academic support to complete high school while learning productive and sustainable farming practices. In addition, they will have biblical<br />
and evangelistic training from our church planters. We know that The Moses Project is equipping tomorrow’s church leaders.<br />
On a personal note, our family was seriously impacted when our son Harrison was involved in an ATV accident that resulted in a traumatic<br />
brain injury. The August 14 accident happened just as Harrison was embarking in his promising adult life, having been married for just<br />
one year to a wonderful Christian woman and having graduated from Harding University with plans to enroll in Lipscomb University’s<br />
graduate school in the fall. Harrison’s recovery is a slow and arduous process for him, as well as his extended family and friends.<br />
Considerable uncertainty still remains about the future, but we trust in our God and we are secure in His plans. We want to thank the<br />
thousands of Christian friends who have encouraged and supported us, especially with the powerful and heartfelt prayers that we are<br />
continuing to have answered.<br />
Harrison has had a passion for missions since we served as a family in Mexico when he was a boy. After we returned, he was relentless in<br />
asking us, “When are we going back to the mission field?” and that was no small part in our decision to move to Honduras. Even though<br />
our family has had to divert attention during Harrison’s recovery, we continue to celebrate the blessings that we have received and we<br />
now have an even stronger will to share Christ with the people of Western Honduras because of these events.<br />
Thank you for the many ways you have supported us in <strong>2015</strong>. We appreciate each and every<br />
volunteer hour you gave serving with us, every dollar you donated, and, more than anything<br />
else, your prayers. It is with excitement and great anticipation that we begin 2016 and<br />
continue to dream of new opportunities to bring Christ to 1010 villages in Western Honduras.<br />
