We are so very grateful for all your support in prayers and finances. The faithfulness in both make our ministry possible. Thank you more than we are able to express.

Amy is doing well with her pregnancy and beginning to show.  A new Hill arrival is expected around April 22, 2004, and the doctor is sure we will have a girl.  Clinic days have been busy with around 400 per month. So far the work days are manageable and we hope that will be so all through our expectancy.

Toby is busy trying to pull everything together after our time in the States. Some of the discipleship groups are struggling, but we are getting on with that ministry. As it is coffee season men are employed for this is the time to make money. In January we should be back to normal with groups, The men working through the day and then coming to class in the evenings.  This is the three month "summer break" for the men attending the Bible Institute so they can earn money.  The men will be involved in preaching, teaching and leading the churches during this time.

  Sunday evening one of the men from a new church work was baptized.  Several at the new church plants are ready to be baptized into Christ.  The ministry keep growing.  We ask for your continued prayers as Satan would destroy any good thing if he could.  It is always wonderful to see how God take the rough times and difficult situations to make good of them.

A big praise this week is that we have our money flow again. When we returned September 12 we found that our bank had been sold and the new owners were not able to make money for deposits available for a month. We think that is settled out now. New bank options are being investigated, but all that is uncertain in Honduras.

Our blue Land Rover Defender has been in the shop for repairs. It needs a new diesel fuel injector and at first they wanted $3000 to repair it. It looks now like that repair can be made for less than $1000 if we can get the part from England. Juan's motorcycle is broken down and we are in the rainy season so Toby has been taking him to his appointments.

God bless you for your interest and support
Toby, Amy, Cassandra and the one in the "oven."
