Family & Friends,

We want to thank you for your faithfulness for the 8 years that we have been serving the Lord in Honduras.

It is bittersweet to announce to  you that our family will be closing this current chapter of ministry on the mission field. We have seen God move mightily in us  and through this ministry and we are grateful that you have been a part of that. As  you know, our time in Honduras has been filled with blessings, trials, lessons, and we have  seen the  hand  of God move more than we could have ever imagined. 

As we have expressed in previous newsletters, those Hondurans whom we have been discipling here have taken on a larger role, and they  will continue to do the work of the ministry in our absence as they work to fulfill the mission to "Raise and Equip Disciples the Change the Nation" at Enlaces con Cristo. We can confidently tell you that there are young  people on  fire  for the Lord  here, and  we ask that you continue to pray for and support the ministry here that will always hold a dear place in our hearts. 

Please keep our family in your prayers during this transition and moving forward, as our family continues to seek to glorify God and make disciples in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you again for your unwavering support.

God bless you, 
Ryan, Kelly, Ezra, Kezia, Isaiah & Uriah Saurers

One thing we pray for every child who recieves classes  at  Enlaces Bilingual School is that they know Jesus Christ as  their Lord and Savior and learn how to walk by God's Spirit. Over the past few years, we have focused in daily devotionals and Bible curriculum on  what are  the Fruit of the Spirit, and how we  can produce  these things in our lives that we read about  in Galatians. We hope you enjoy the update, with some really great pictures and a video clip put together by one of the teachers here.
​Thank you for your continued prayers, and God bless!

Something that we have learned in our time in Honduras is that Biblical discipleship means walking with others, teaching them through the Word of God, leading by example, then creating open doors and entrusting them to do the same.

As we have been blessed by teaching Bible classes here in the bilingual school for the past 7 years, God has been showing us those we can continue to walk with and entrust this great responsibility to, to be spiritual leaders of their own people as they impart classes to the youth here at Enlaces.

Each year since moving to Honduras in 2018, our final newsletter of the year focuses on the ministry through the eyes of our children. And now that most of them are big enough to tell you all about it themselves, we hope you enjoy not only pictures of this past year but also what the kids have to  say about what they have seen and learned!
