2012 Honduras Missionary Conference

[Joy]

Dear Missionaries in Honduras,

Each year, missionaries from across Honduras meet together for a time
of fellowship, spiritual renewal, and networking. For many, it has
become a highlight of their year and a priority in their calendars.
Adults are recharged thru the messages spoken by a Spirit-led missions-
centered guest speaker and thru encouragement that comes from
fellowship with other like-minded believers. The children and youth
have a great time together growing in their relationship with the Lord
and building on their relationships with one another.

We are blessed to have Steve Johnson, president of LAM (Latin America
Mission) as our guest speaker this year. I've included a short
biography about Steve below. We are also very pleased that Karen
Shogren will once again bring a team to lead the youth and children.
Karen is a missionary in Costa Rica and she led the children's and
youth program at last year's conference. She has a big heart for MKs
and we're excited that she will be joining us again.

Please mark your calendars for this year's conference which will be
held at Centro San Francisco in Siguatepeque September 27th - 29th. If
you already know you will be attending, it is not too early to
register. Just respond to this email at joyh...@gmail.com with your
names, the number of people coming, and the names and ages of your
children. (The cost of the conference will be announced soon.)

In Him,

Steve Johnson joined Latin America Mission as president in 2009, with
three decades of experience ministering in Latin America and among
Latinos. Having grown up in California and Arizona, Steve served in
youth and pastoral ministry while leading dozens of short-term mission
teams to Spain and Argentina. In 1987, Scottsdale Bible Church of
Scottsdale, Arizona, commissioned Steve and his wife, Shellie, as
missionaries to Argentina with OC International. Besides working in
local pastoral ministry and equipping national Christian leaders,
Steve served as a leader to the 1991 Buenos Aires Billy Graham Crusade
and as Executive Secretary of the Argentine National Association of
Evangelicals, the only North American to ever hold such a position.

Since returning from Latin America in 1992, Steve served as the senior
pastor of four churches, including two daughter churches of Scottsdale
Bible. Just prior to coming to LAM, Steve served as the Senior Pastor
of Cypress Community Church, in Salinas California. Steve and Shellie
have four grown children and four grandchildren. They live in Miami
Beach, Florida.
