Eight travel to Roatan The purpose of a mission is to help those less fortunate. Not only do these people benefit, the men and women who go on the mission also gain from their experiences. Recently, eight members of the North Webster Church of God visited the island of Roatan, off the coast of Honduras, to build a small chapel. All agreed the visit helped them to appreciate life in America. Going on the mission were: Rev. and Mrs. Brice Casey, Janet Coy, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Abbett, Tony Casey and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Likens. Mrs. Abbett commented, "I'm just thankful I was born in America." She also had a few comments about the people of Roatan. "I noticed that they were very warm, friendly. They couldn't get done thanking us enough for coming." The chapel, a 20x30 concrete block building, was built in an area called Mudhole. While there, the group stayed in a village called Coxenhole. The men did the actual manual work while the women cooked, washed clothes and ran errands. Share Experiences For Likens, this was his second mission. He first visited Guatamala in 1975 after a hurricane hit that island. He said he benefited from the Roatan mission through the sharing with the island natives. "We had a good chance to learn with them. Most of them spoke English. It was a good experience." Most of the Roatan natives are poor. The country of Honduras is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere next to Haiti. The men usually work on shrimp boats or cargo boats. A few raise crops such as bananas and coconuts. Teenage girls care for the younger children in the family. Mrs. Likens commented, "The younger children are respectful of their elders." Large families are also common. In the villages, most families live in framed houses built on poles while in the country, thatched huts provide shelter. Beautiful Country The beauty of the country was one thing which impressed the North Webster residents. Tony Casey, age 16, said, "It was a pretty place. Always green." Os course, he added, Roatan was also very warm. While the group was there, the temperatures reached 90 degrees, and it was the cold season.

"HI ‘ 1 z Z | ■ Il * " 4 ' MISSION TO ROATAN — These people from the North Webster Church of God have recently returned from a mission in Roatan where they built a chapel. All agreed the experience helped them to appreciate life in America. *From left, are: Mrs. Phyllis Abbett, Mrs. Bob Likens. Rev. Brice Casey, Mrs. Casey, Phil Abbett, Bob Likens and Tony Casey. Not shown is Janet Coy.

Another thing which impressed the group was the minister of the chapel. Rev. Casey commented, "He was at one time the town drunk, but converted. He has started three congregations and has done an effective job in reaching people to Christ." The minister, Edward Allen, is a native Roatanian. His wife and 18-year-old son also preach. The various denominations in Roatan are similiar to those in the United States. There are various Protestant churches,

Love Is Not A Special For Valentine's Day

Defining love is very hard; It isn’t measured by the yard, Or printed on a greeting card Where someone says, “Be mine!” And sends it only once a year, The day for Cupid to appear. Now love is something more sincere
