Just a week or so ago, I posted a letter and some prayer requests from some Honduran friends that I have, in regards to the current political situation that is facing their country. I just received another e-mail update from them, and I was more touched by this one than I was the first. Please read the letter below, especially the parts that I have bolded & italicized!

Hi everyone,

I hope this letter finds you well, thank you so much for your patience on our prayer requests. We trust God is the only one who can perform miracles and help our country. I just wanted to share with you some photos taken yesterday during one of the many pacific walks that take place all over the country; the purpose is to let the world know Hondurans want democracy NOT communism. I pray and wish with all my heart that the world would know the truth, but I wake up every day just to hear CNN, other international media and Zelaya lying, telling the world that there’s a civil war in here, that many have died, that the army is oppressing people or that “all” the people want the dictator back. Why would we want a leftist dictator back? Doesn’t even make sense!!!, I feel nauseated; all these statements are completely false.

The truth is: ONE person died since Zelaya was ousted (his followers are quite violent), we are living peacefully, our army’s behavior is very protective of peace and order, our war is psychological due to Chavez’s continuous threats that cause a lot of unrest ‘cause we know what he’s capable of; there is a relatively small amount of Zelaya’s followers (around 10,500 nationwide) who are being financed by Venezuela (so many of them are Nicaraguans/Venezuelans infiltrates) and they get all the international media attention to spread the lies, it’s beyond my understanding on why is the international media completely oblivious to the rest of us, the majority to be truthful (around 7,479,000 people).

I thank God for the good that’s come out of this situation: love and unity is so palpable, I go out the streets and can talk to anyone like we are old friends, people’s thirst for God is so big, also many Venezuelan people are encouraging us not to give up as they did, it’s so touching they are always on our prayers and finally we are so blessed by all the love and prayers coming from outside Honduras, our hearts are thankful.

PLEASE pray with us:

1)     For the truth to finally come out, once and for all so the world stops condemning Honduras without even knowing the facts or the other side of the story.

2)     For us to take strength in God’s promises and our faith to be stronger.

3)     For God to protect our territory from Chavez’s invasion and from Zelaya’s call to violence.

4)     For Zelaya’s followers to open their eyes of the danger they are supporting.

5)     For Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, etc. to be free from this oppressing dictatorships.

6)     For all Hondurans to also be passionate about God, not only our country but to the one who deserves all of our love and devotion.

Thank you and God bless you,
