On October 7th Ted Gasteir visited us with photos and updates from his missionary experience at El Sembrador. The following is from their website at http://www.escuelaelsembrador.org/ El Sembrador (The School of the Sower) was founded in 1954 by Don and Twana Hawk, a farmer and his wife from the state of Ohio. They sold all their belongings and sailed to Honduras in a banana boat in 1948. They did not speak Spanish, and after a most interesting cruise, they found themselves on the distant docks of Puerto Cortes, Honduras, with their little boys, Ted and Tim. Don's vision was to reach the underprivileged boys of Honduras through primary education and practical training in farming. In 1981, Don went to be with the Lord, but his vision is still carried on today through the missionaries of World Gospel Mission and the Honduran staff.
It was amazing to hear the experiences of Mr Gastier and his wife and also that some members of our club have been there to help as well. The mission has many needs and volunteers are encouraged. Please take the time to visit their website and view how you may be able to help their cause.
