Roger's Story
Life
I am a Missionary in La Moskitia, the most remote region in Honduras, Central America. My wife, Katrina Ryan Engle, from Chicago, and I work with malnourished children, providing them with the nourishment they need, and with handicapped children, helping them to make contact with doctors and/or get to medical centers where they can receive the surgical help they need.
