January 2021 Newsletter

2020 In Review:
The COVID pandemic created an opportunity for 6:33 Global to meet practical needs with no strings attached. The immediate need for the community without the ability to work with lock down and quarantine was simply food. Our current partners, new partners and Church of The Highlands in Birmingham, Alabama sent support during the pandemic which allowed us to serve over 50 families every 2 weeks from May 2020 up until January 2021. Special thanks to Pastors Chris Hodges and Dino Rizzo for sowing into the Food Pantry during the pandemic.

We will continue the Food Pantry in 2021, but on a smaller scale. All the families we served during the pandemic were very grateful for the food you were able to provide them and they understood the assistance would subside once the community was able to return to work. So, THANK YOU for allowing us to mirror God's love by feeding families in their need. For 2021, we will focus on biblical help for widows and members of our Healing Place Church Honduras family.

Along with COVID-19 Pandemic was 2 hurricanes and one winter storm that hit our community.

The multiple storms gave us the opportunity to serve one of the widows that faithfully attend Healing Place Church Honduras. The storms damaged her roof and allowed rain water to gather on her concrete inside her house. She slipped and fell and was put on bed rest for a time. She asked for help with the roof and we were able and honored to help her. She expressed her gratitude for each of you that supports our ministry and allows us to be a blessing to her, her family and her community.

A special thanks to Dan & Vicki Ohlerking and Children's Cup, who gave toward this outreach after asking what were our needs for the hurricanes. We LOVE doing life and serving with GENEROUS, KINGDOM MINDED people and ministries!

GREAT START TO 2021:
Despite the COVID Pandemic and Hurricanes, we hit the ground running in 2021. Your faithful giving and generosity throughout all of 2020 allowed us to complete our annual BOOK SACK & SCHOOL SUPPLIES GIVEAWAY! This year with the 2 Kindergarten classes, 2 Grade schools near our ministry and the Youth Ministry at Healing Place Church Honduras, we bought, prepared and gave away over 270 Book Sacks with School Supplies!

January 2021 Trip To Louisiana:
We had a great trip to the states mid January to early February. Due to high risk relatives concerning COVID-19, we limited our interactions and social visits. However, we did spend quality time with family and friends. We were well rested and recharged! It was great to reconnect with most of our supporters and our Healing Place Church Family in Baton Rouge.

We have cultivated existing relationships, rekindled dormant relationships and established new relationships and we believe The Lord is using all of those relationships to open doors for the future of our ministry and family. We are praying about the seeds that have been planted in our hearts and would love to share some of the dreams we've been thinking about for our future, but we feel its just not the time.

Future of 6:33 Global:
If you are a part of FaceBook, we do have a private FaceBook Group where we share things not intended for public consumption, but only for friends and partners of our family and ministry who want to know how to pray for and support these things. If interested, please email us so we can send you an invite to that Private FaceBook Group.

Closing:
We are so grateful for our spiritual covering in Ps. Mike & Rachel Haman, Ps. Dino & DeLynn Rizzo, Earl Rentz, Wayne & Dee Austin, Mike & Lynn McCain, Jeffery Rentz and Ps. Derek & Cesia Smith. We feel so loved, encouraged and empowered by these Spiritual Parents and great friends. It makes ministry better to be planted in the local church and serving the mission and vision of the church where God has planted you.

We are also very grateful for our financial partners! God's faithfulness is confirmed to us through your generosity. We are excited about the future and our conviction is to be GOOD STEWARDS of your resources.

Therefore, we ask for prayer covering. Specifically for energy, wisdom, discernment, guidance & favor as we move forward. We believe we have the people we need around us and we pray that all we receive from these people is an outpour and overflow of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

We love you all. We do this all for His KINGDOM + CHURCH + PEOPLE,

September 2020 Newsletter

September 2020 Newsletter

Greetings from The Lamberts in Honduras! We have several updates for you guys! So let's get started.....

COVID-19

Here in Honduras, we are still under quarantine. Which means you have to stay on your property and social distance. Based on the last number of your Identification Card or Passport, you can only go down to town on your assigned days.

We believe we see the light at the end of the tunnel. The airports are opening and Honduras is now receiving international flights into the country. Many local tourist businesses in our community are now open or will open very soon.

We are looking forward to begin hosting teams and are presently planning for 2021 teams and possibly teams at the end of this year, 2020.

EDUCATION

Local schools are not having classes on campuses but teachers are sending assignments to students to complete and turn in. 6:33 Global's PRINTER has been SERVING and WORKING HARD here in El Naranjo! You generosity to our EDUCATION FUND allows us to buy printer paper, printer ink and help students complete assignments and stay up to date on their homework.

There are 2 ways you can partner with us and education here in our community:

1. SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Here in Honduras, the school year begins in the first week in February. For the past 2 years, 6:33 Global has provided School Supplies for students and Gift Baskets for Teachers in El Naranjo and Las Mangas. We usually hand out school supplies to students at Christmas and Teacher Gift Basket on the first day of school in February.

2. SCHOLARSHIPS

Honduras Public School Systems only provide school up to the 6th Grade. To attend 7th - 12th Grade, students need to attend and pay for private schools. 6:33 Global sponsors students to allow them to continue their education. We can sponsor one child for $50/ month or $600/ year. This will provide resources for registration, tuition, transportation, uniforms and school supplies. 

If you are interested in partnering with us in these two areas, visit https://www.633global.org/donate/ and select EDUCATION as the giving fund.

FOOD PANTRY
As of this Newsletter, we have about 10 months of the 6:33 Global Food Pantry funded! We are so encouraged by the Food Pantry Team: Carlos, Chon & Jenifer. Carlos & Chon are a married couple who serve FAITHFULLY at Healing Place Church Honduras and Jenifer is their daughter. We buy the food and they package and distribute the food to the community. They have went above and beyond to organize a time for food pickup, prayer and encouragement. This family has been such a blessing to our family and ministry!
 

We have also partnered with a warehouse in La Ceiba that sells us the food called Bodega Funez. The owner knows about Pastor Derek and Healing Place Church Honduras and our heart to be "a healing place for a hurting world" and does the best to give us good prices. We originally figured about $12-$13 per basket. With Bodega Funez's help and low prices, we are currently spending $8 per basket. We have gone from serving 30 families every 2 weeks to 50 families every 2 weeks! 
We are THANKFUL for your GENEROSITY and for GOD'S FAVOR with food prices! All Glory To God!
If you wish to contribute to the 6:33 Global Food Pantry visit https://www.633global.org/donate/ and select FOOD PANTRY for your giving fund.

MEDICAL
Last week, Clinical Doctor Del Pueblo celebrated its 4 Year Anniversary! This clinic is a testament to God's faithfulness to Doctors Melvin & Ana and the people in our community! We are so proud to partner with The Clinic and we are grateful for your generosity and support.

At this time, with Bio Security procedures, there is a need for more resources for supplies. Also, there is monthly utilities that the clinic has incurred since moving into the new building. We could use some monthly commitments to help with all these things.

To help out with the Medical Clinic, visit https://www.633global.org/donate and choose MEDICAL for the FUND, then CLINIC & BRIGADE SUPPLIES for the SUB FUND.

PRAYER NEEDS
1. Pray for PROVISION. God has been SO FAITHFUL to our family and our ministry. As our favor and influence grows, we believe He is calling us to do more! With that, comes the need for resources. We've always been told, "Where The Lord Guides, He Provides." So, we are believing for that.

2. Pray for WISDOM. We have learned that not all GOOD opportunities are GOD opportunities. The needs are great here, but we may not be called to meet them all. We have a great team around us, Ps. Derek Smith, Ps. Jeff Rentz & Br. Earl Rentz and they do a great job of helping us think through things and guide us with experience and wisdom.

3. LEARNING SPANISH. Brandi and I have found a great new Spanish School we have been using during the pandemic. It's an online school and the service and teaching techniques they use is excellent! After almost 3 years, we are honestly disappointed in our progress to learn Spanish. So, we are digging in and making more of an effort. We definitely need supernatural help in this area!
