Upon graduation from West Coast Bible Colloge, Andy Coté came to live and work with us for seven months before starting his own Spanish ministry in the States. He was a tremendous blessing to all of us, but especially to our young people.
Staying In Honduras
I had the great privilege of staying with missionaries Mike and Debbie Lane in the country of Honduras from May of 2006 to January of 2007. God had prepared me with over 6 years of Spanish language study even before I went to Honduras, and God worked it out so that I would be taught and influenced even further by these great missionaries for this period of over seven months.

Staying In Honduras

Ministry In Honduras
The Lanes have an extensive ministry to the people of the city of La Esperanza and surrounding villages. Most of these people are Indian people that are known as the Lenca Indians and most of them are miserably lost in their sin and blinded by Catholicism. During my time of ministry with Mike and Debbie Lane we ministered on a weekly bases to La Esperanza and also to three other small communities. I myself was given the opportunity to preach on over 50 different occasions in all four of these locations. Just during the few months that I was in Honduras we saw scores of people accept Christ; a number of these people were baptized as well. I would encourage anyone who truly seeks to learn first-hand missionary work and experience another culture to consider staying with these wonderful missionaries.
Preparation From Honduras
I now am using a great deal of what I learned in Honduras and with the Lanes on almost a daily basis. I am currently a Spanish minister who is ministering to over 40 people on a weekly basis in the city of Las Vegas, USA. I can confidently attribute much of what I am now utilizing in the ministry to missionaries Mike and Debbie Lane. I thank God for them and their willingness to sacrifice their time and effort for my training.
Andy is now married and he and his wife, Brissa, continue to faithfully serve the Lord reaching the Spanish speaking people of Las Vegas. Our life, and the lives of the Honduran people to whom he helped minister, have been enriched and blessed by knowing him.
