My family has been serving in Honduras since 2001, first on the island of Guanaja and now in the mountains of Lempira.
Family Picture from 2011 (I think)
My Parents, Allen and Trish Sowers, are still serving up in the mountains alongside my brother Russell Sowers (striped shirt) and his wife Iris (standing next to him).

In 2013 I married Lieutenant Brandy Reyes, an officer in the Honduran Air Force. Then in the spring of 2014 God called me to be a missionary, a step He had been preparing me for my whole life.

My passion/calling is to help and encourage missionary and especially their kids throughout Honduras. Having grown up on the mission field I understand the struggles that most MKs (missionary kids) go through, and I feels that through my knowledge, and desire to work with youth, I can help other MKs.
In August of this year, 2014, I organized and run my very first MK Camp. My plan is to organizing an annual MK Camp and maybe an MK Youth Retreat, and we'll see where else God leads me.

Now you have very basics overview of who I am and what I feel called to do. Please let me know if there's anything you'd like me to blog about, I'm open to suggestions. I've lived 13 years overseas and am not quite sure what may interest you about my life or ministry, so any input as to what you'd like to read about would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm excited to read this, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteI had a long comment written with possible blog topics but when I had to choose my profile, it disappeared. :-(
Some of what I remember includes:
-what is MK camp like? This could be many blog posts and could include things like what's the schedule, where in Honduras do the kids come from and how long does it take to get to camp, the speaker, the music, who else helps with camp, the canteen, crafts, the rope course, etc.
-what life is like in Honduras that may be different from the life of readers that may not have been to Honduras
-what do the parents of some of the MK's do in Honduras? or highlight some of the kids and include what their kids do
-what struggles do MK's have (or what struggles did you have as an MK?)
-where do MK's go to school in Honduras?
I'll stop for now. :-)
