Team from Celebration Church, Georgetown, Texas

Last week we had the pleasure of having a team here from Celebration Church, from Texas, here with us for one week. The team consisted of 6 people, 3 girls and 3 guys, and were brought here by our nephew, Ross Breaux. These guys are all interns out of Celebration Church. They came here to help build a home for a family whose house, because of the heavy rains, was falling apart, and coming down. They started on the house, but unfortunately because of the constant rain, they were not able to finish, but we have some local workers here in Zambrano that are finishing the house.

We celebrated Ross's 24th birthday while he was here, we had pizza, cake, and a great time with much laughter, what more could you ask for. God is good!

They also went with me on Thursday to El Espino to give out bags of food, and to share a few stories with the kids. They also passed out candy, they were a big hit, lots of laughs by all. We also had a Pastor from Alabama, Mitch Love with us, and he shared an encouraging word with the adults, and then prayed for those that wanted prayer afterwards. Thank you pastor for being a part of what is going on here in El Espino, and sharing what was on your heart, and also for the food items we gave away. Your welcome to come back and join us anytime! Also a big thanks to Pastor Luis Sorto, and his wife, Mayra, and daughter Carolina, and son Danny, for hosting this team, thanks for all you do for the Kingdom!

I just want to say a big thank you to the team for coming and wanting to be a part of reaching out to these poor, and hurting people in Honduras, you all were a blessing.

Since its founding in 2003 by Ernie and Robyn Breaux, ER International has been dedicated to helping disabled children, runaways, and young mothers find hope and support while learning of the love of Jesus Christ. Separately, both Ernie and Robyn had dedicated their lives to meeting the needs of others while located in Baton Rouge. Ernie ran a ministry helping young female runaways struggling with addiction, and Robyn filled her time by offering services to churches and working with a Christian radio station. After Robyn volunteered with Ernie’s mission, the two married and began to merge their volunteer and charity efforts together.

Motivated by their own faith and servants’ hearts, Ernie and Robyn began ER International in St. Petersburg, Florida to help homeless and runaway children living on the city’s streets. It was this initiative that led them to Free the Oppressed, a charity based out of Zambrano, Honduras. After a year of working with the charity, Ernie and Robyn took a leap of faith and moved to Zambrano themselves. Once in Honduras, they began working with Prince of Peace Children’s Home, a home for abandoned, and abused, or orphaned children. Their efforts led them to opening a Teenage Pregnancy Crisis Center and School, furthering their goal to help the world’s youth.

An eventual meeting with the First Lady of Honduras changed the direction of ER International, as well as Ernie and Robyn’s lives, forever. They were asked to take in a malnourished baby boy, and it was this precious infant that convinced the Breaux’s to stay in Honduras indefinitely. Their adopted son, Joey, was later diagnosed with PDD-NOS (a form of Autism), and the Breaux family began to dedicate their efforts to their son and other disabled children in Honduras. They moved to the island of Roatan, where they learned there were no services for Autistic children or those with other learning disabilities. Sad to see children like Joey being cast out for their imperfections, Ernie and Robyn began working with a local school to establish special needs programs for children with learning difficulties, with the eventual goal of opening a therapy center solely dedicated to children with Autism, and other learning dissibilities on the island.

ER International is also tied to the international humanitarian coalition Travel Adventure Group (TAG), as well as Honduran fundraising groups that employ former gang members in raising money for other Christian charities. ER International is able to continue their work on Roatan and throughout the world due to the generous donations and support of churches, businesses and individuals around the world. They are dedicated to continuing their efforts in Honduras and educating children with Autism, and other learning dissibilities.
