The Mortenson Family Begins February 2026
February 2026
Dear Family and Friends,
Thank you for your faithful partnership in prayer. God is good, and we are thankful for the privilege to be partnered with you all for the sake of His kingdom. January has been unusually wet and rainy here, so we have only been able to have one of our Saturday morning Bible clubs in the neighborhood park behind our church. We look forward to ministering to these 20-30 children with more frequency as we get more consistently clear weather.
In spite of all of the rain this month, God did bless us with a few dry days for our first ever church teen camp. Grant and Blake are both in the teen group and were excited about camp and I went as one of the speaker/counselors. Almost 40 young people attended, and we used the facilities of a Baptist camp that is located about 3 hours from us. It was a good 3 days ministering to this generation of young people. For each of the 5 teaching times they all listened well and I have heard several testimonies of how the camp spiritually impacted specific hearts. Please pray for God to continue to work in hearts and for spiritual growth in this specific segment of our church family.
Coming up in February, we are actively preparing for our first MMO surgical team of 2026. The team will arrive on February 27th and will consist of two surgeons (a general surgeon and an orthopedic surgeon) and the supporting medical staff. They will partner together with our Honduran church volunteers to serve the patients both physically and spiritually. Beginning this week (Feb 3 and 4) we will have patients come to the church property for the first time as we meet them and start patient files which will be uploaded to the cloud so the surgeons can preview the cases from the States. Two more times during the month, the patients will come in for follow-up exams and consults with a nurse practitioner in pre-surgical screening. With each of these encounters we hope to serve them with the love of Christ, preparing them for a gospel encounter where we intentionally take time to share the gospel and ask how we can pray specifically for them. Please be praying for our preparation for the surgical week, and that God would work in their hearts to be receptive to the gospel message.
Thank you again for your faithful prayers for our family and ministry.
