Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
We hope that this letter finds you well in the comfort of our Lord and Savior. We have been enjoying our time back in Minnesota, even in California for a period, spending time reconnecting with family and friends. There are many more people we look forward to spending time with as summer progresses.
This past year has been an amazing yet humbling walk with the Lord. We have been so grateful to you all for upholding us and sending us to Honduras. True fruit of lives coming into the Kingdom was accomplished. Thousands of Hondurans and dozens of missionaries received chiropractic care as well. This could not have been accomplished if it wasn’t for the faithfulness of you, our supporters! Thank you for your support!
For the last couple of months we have been making plans to continue our time in Honduras serving the poor. This was a choice that we did not make easily, but felt the Lord directing us to serve in this area of great need on a full-time basis. There is currently no ministry present so we were going to have to develop our own ministry as a chiropractic clinic in this area. With this decision to stay in Honduras many challenges have been raised in our lives, some were expected while some were not. I do not wish to go into detail on issues, but we recognize the need for more preparation in our lives and dealing with our student debt issues prior to creating a new ministry in missions on a full time basis. We are now planning on staying in Minnesota with me looking for a position in a clinic, preferably integrated, as a chiropractor. Jamie will be looking for part-time work as a registered nurse. We will be moving into our Bloomington home in the beginning of June as we were unable to find renters as of yet. We are unsure if we will live there and find employment or if we will move to a different location if a good job opportunity was to arise.
We hope that you will continue to support world-wide missions through other missionaries as Matthew 28:19 commands:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Many missionaries need your support as in these tough economic times many missionaries struggle to be the hands of the body to accomplish this work to all the nations.
We know the Lord will continue to use us for ministry to the poor, and we hope to bring a team down of willing Christians to serve in Honduras for 1 week. This would be a team like those we have worked with WGO this last year.
Thank you so much for your love and support this last year and we pray that, “The Lord will bless you and keep you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26
Love,
The Schroeder’s (Dr. Ryan, Jamie, Reed, Ella, & Addi)
