From one day to the next, you never know what is going to happen. It has now happened in Honduras. For over three years, everything has been changing in Honduras as the President has been aligning with Chavez from Venezuela. He has made many decisions that 70 percent of the population of Honduras have been against but no one in the international community has said or done anything. By law, a Honduran president can only serve for four years and their is no re-election. Whether people like that this or not, it is in the constitution and it has always been respected.

Mel Zelaya, the president of Honduras, decided that he would change this but not the way it should be. He was going to do this without the consent of the Honduran congress, supreme court or the political system. He planned a vote last Sunday where the people in Honduras would just vote YES or NO to this proposal. What we did not know was that if the people voted YES, this would cancel any future elections and he would stay in pretty much permanently like Chavez from Venezuela. On Friday of last week, everyone was surprised when four airplanes came in from Venezuela to Honduras with all the ballot boxes and voter cards. The supreme court of Honduras acted immediately and they advised President Zelaya that this was illegal and that there would be no vote on Sunday. President Zelaya then fired the head of the armed forces and he announced that the vote would continue. He was being advised by Chavez from Venezuela. His ultimate goal was to stay in power as a Dictator.
On Sunday morning, the date of the vote, the supreme court of Honduras ordered the army to arrest President Zelaya and his cabinet. Zelaya was arrested around 6:00 AM and he was put on a plane and sent to Costa Rica. The Honduran congress then voted in a new President for 6 months until the new elections can be held.

Zelaya flew from Costa Rica to Nicaragua to meet with the leftist Presidents of Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. To everyone surprise, the OEA and President Obama took sides with the leftist President Zelaya ordering his return to power in Honduras. There is now rioting in the streets and people have been killed. There are reports of people being flown in from Venezuela and buses full of people coming from Nicaragua to riot against the new Government in Honduras. To make things worst, Zelaya is planning on returning to Honduras on Thursday with representatives of the United Nations with Obamas support to "TAKE BACK HIS PRESIDENCY".
We have been in contact with our people in Honduras and they are afraid of what is going to happen. Steve, my brother, is in Honduras right now and basically he is stuck there. Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador has closed all the borders and no more fuel will be imported into Honduras until this situation is settled. Marshal Law has been placed and thousands of soldiers are in the streets with tanks.
Please pray for our mission workers, pastors, church members, school teachers and students. Pray for Steve and his family. We have a medical group in Honduras right now so please pray for their safety.
I am not being political with this statement but please pray that Obama and Hilary will open their eyes and see what is really going on in Honduras. To side with a man like Chavez is to side with the Devil and that is exactly what our government is doing.
