El Espino Nov. 11, 2010

Last week I went to El Espino to give out about 118 bags of food, and to also give away about 150 tooth brushes that were donated to us by our friend, and dentist, Cheryl Mecca. It had been a while since I had been out there, due to the rainy season, the road was washed out, and I was not able to get there in my car. I was really happy and excited to get back out there, and to see all those familiar faces, i really missed my weekly visits out there, the people are so humble, and greatly appreciative of whatever it is that we give to them. God is so good!

Just want to say a special thank you to Cheryl Mecca, and her staff for their
donation, it is greatly appreciated. May God richly bless you all!

Matthew 25:35-36, 40

I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me,
... the King will say, I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these
things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me you did it to me.

It´s Milk time again for the kids

Hey everyone, it´s that time again, we are in need of milk for the kids at the children's home, and the home for teenage unwed moms and babies. We need about $1000.00 to get a 3 month supply of Milk. I know some of you have donated toward this cause in the past, and it is greatly appreciated!

James 1:27

27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

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.
