A special thanks to the Harding work team and the Smith family for making it happen.

May 3, 2012 - Ashleigh Arthurs, age 19, from Lewisville, Texas is going to be a great asset to the Por Los Niños intern program. She has had several adventures into the mission field. Last summer she spent two weeks in Zambia, Africa where she participated in rural village medical clinics, helping out in the child care area. She is in undergraduate studies in Family and Consumer Sciences, specifically, Dietetics and is also studying Spanish. Ashleigh's education disciplines will enable her to assist with a vitamin program PLN has applied for. She loves children and helping others and is seeking opportunities to serve God anywhere he wants to use her. What better combination could we hope for?

We believe both of these young ladies are going to be a tremendous asset during their internship this summer and hopefully they will have a wonderful experience working with our precious PLN family.

What a tremendous encouragement to all at Por Los Ninos and those who support and work with Family Life Missions/Por Los Ninos. Sometimes we may wonder if we are doing God's will and then He reassures us, we are.

Please continue to keep this work and other worthy works around the world in your prayers.

"Gene, I thought I would give you some good news going into your weekend. Our team reserved a table in the student center at Harding for the past three days (Wednesday – Friday). They set up a small booth and sold the PLN wristbands.

To add some creativity the Harding students employed a BRILLIANT marketing idea. They gave a brownie or cookie away with each purchase! Obviously only wanting the best to sweeten the "Deal" they asked Wendy Smith, Dirks wife, to bake brownies and cookies. From what I've heard about Wendy's prowess in the kitchen, she's a killer cook. I'm sure the cookies and brownies were worth the price of the Wrist Band"

The results are in...In three days...SOLD OUT – 150 Wristbands Sold!!

Thanks to all of the Harding students for a great job. A special "Thank You" to Matt Mead and Allison Lincoln for organizing the project, including scheduling workers at the table. At some time during the three days every team member served at the sales table. I know we can all agree this is an AMAZING group!

Dirk and his family have for many years been tireless supporters for Por Los Ninos. Dirk has led a Harding University work team to Catacamas, Honduras for many years. His groups always take on the biggest and toughest projects on the PLN wish list. They've poured concrete, replaced cottage roofs, built chicken houses to name only a few. This year's challenge is to paint the exterior of all the PLN buildings, no small feat. Keep them in your prayers that again while doing our Saviors will they find success on their mission.

Please, you can take the same challenge.  Contact Us and help the less fortunate children of Honduras.
