Honduras Medical Mission – Day 6 Journal 10/24/25   “Lord, make us instruments of Your peace, Where there is hatred, let Your love increase, Walls of pride and prejudice shall cease…” Instruments of your Peace By: Kirk Dearman and Deby Dearman   Today, those lyrics echoed through our hearts as we moved through the clinic and community—reminding us why we came, and who sent us.

Honduras Medical Mission Trip – Day 5 Journal - 10/23/25 “Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.” - Erin Caldwell, President FOBF Between the rain and a little community mix-up about the clinic day, we quickly learned the truth of that saying.

Day 2 – Honduras October Medical Mission Trip - Oct 19, 2025   Today was a beautiful mix of awe, camaraderie, and preparation. We began the morning by exploring the breathtaking waterfall. We enjoyed witnessing the beauty and grace in contrast to the overwhelming power and energy of the falls. A few adventurous team members even braved the hike down to experience the spray of the falls. Undoubtedly the team's favorite part of the morning was the rainbows that shimmered throug

10/18/2025 Dear Friends and Family,   Today was a beautiful start to our medical mission trip here in Honduras! Our team arrived from all over — Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, and even Chile — all united with one purpose and one heart to serve.   As soon as we cleared customs, the Honduran team (Fernando and Geovany) welcomed us with warm hugs, bright smiles, and then packed the bus to start the adventure.  This made us feel like old friends reuniting
