last resting place, friends and relatives coming
from all
parts of the county.
Mr.
Coventon was a splendid old man. He came to this county when a young man from
Georgia, and has spent most of his life here. He was
a good Christian and no one in need ever went
away without his help. He was a good father and a good husband, and his friends
were
legion.
The

bereaved." (Last updated: 21/07/2001 12:46:55)

JAMES
DANIEL COVENTON (7721). Born: 12 Oct 1953 in Muskogee Co OK. Father: Coventon,
John William (28019). Mother: Geurin,
Lillie
Grace (28020). Mar: during 1978 in Honduras to Mary Lu (7802). Known as Dan,
whose web entry reads: "We left Tulsa, Oklahoma
in August
of 1974 to study Spanish at King's Way Missionary Institute, a language school
in McAllen, Texas, as a response to God's call on
our lives
to serve in missions in Latin America. In February 1976, we arrived in
Honduras, Central America.
From the
beginning, God clearly directed us that our mission was not to start new
churches, but rather He was calling us to help strengthen
already
established churches. We have been fulfilling that call ever since; serving
first in San Pedro Sula and then in Gualaco, Olancho.
In 1982 we
began working with Amor Viviente, a growing group of churches in Honduras. For
twelve years we worked in Tegucigalpa, the
capital
city of Honduras, where we played an active part in the integral growth of the
Tegucigalpa congregation, not only in the main areas of
our ministry, but also participating at
different times in other ministries wherever God opened a door for service
(home groups, intercessory
prayer, Bible teaching, counselling, etc.). We
have seen the church grow from 400 to more than 4000 believers and we have
trained
leaders to
continue with our local work. The church in Tegucigalpa has nearly 500 home
groups throughout the city. Most new believers are
added to
the church through home group evangelism; home groups being the back bone of
church growth in all the Amor Viviente
congregations.
In 1982 we
established the first Christian Print Shop in Honduras which has grown into the
Interdenominational Christian Education Center
(ICEC),
providing audio, video and printed teaching materials to churches throughout
the country.
During our
annual week of prayer and fasting in January 1988, the Lord spoke to us about
starting a Christian Radio Station in Tegucigalpa.
For the next several months we worked and
prayed to make this vision a reality. In early 1989 I left my work with the
ICEC in the hands of
people I
had trained and moved full-time into the position of Technical Director of our
Radio station where I continued preparations for
getting
on-the-air.
In June
1989 we took a step of faith by purchasing our equipment and in September our
radio station license received approval. After
remodelling
the studios and installing the equipment, we went on-the-air December 22, 1989.
Difusora Cristiana de Radio (DCR) 940 kHz
AM, is a
Christian station that reaches the one million people of Tegucigalpa with the
good news of Jesus Christ.
Part of our
vision was to establish stations in major cities of Honduras. In late 1992, two
more stations were added: FM 103 in Tegucigalpa
and 1520 AM
in San Pedro Sula, the second largest city in Honduras. In February 1994 our
newest station, FM 104 signed on in the coastal
city of La Ceiba. I am the Technical Director
of what is now known as "Sistema DCR", four Christian radio stations
with well over two million
people in our listening area. It is important
to note that, though I did all the planning and installation of these stations,
the Amor Viviente
churches in
Honduras financed them without outside help."

"Dan
Coventon, TCF missionary and missions mobilizer and trainer - to speak at the
TCF Missions Conferencerence kickoff meeting,
Sunday Feb
23 2020
Dan and his
wife Mary Lu were released into full time missions service by TCF in 1978, and
have since served largely in Honduras, where
they have
served in local church development though evangelism and discipleship, radio
broadcasting, and a variety of other ministries. In
recent
years, Dan and Mary Lu have developed a national and international ministry in
mobilizing churches for the Great Commission. Dan
says,
"Honduras is a reached nation, but not a sent nation." With the goal
of sending Latin missionaries around the world, they are working
with an
international interdenominational group called Simply Mobilizing to encourage
churches in Honduras, Central America, and across
the Spanish
speaking world to fulfill the call of God to reach the nations. They work with
all churches, using courses and programs that are
specifically
designed to form a Biblical worldview. Dan works in Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru
and Spain while Mary Lu focuses more on
ministry in
Honduras. They are passionate about seeing missional churches developed
throughout the world. Their heart’s desire is to see a
mobilization movement in Latin American
churches equipping and facilitating God’s people to be on mission with Him,
both in their own
culture and
in the unreached nations." (Last updated: 05/11/2021 12:46:06)

Matthew 7712". In 1984 I began my work as the
Director of
the Children's Ministry, which through dynamic evangelism and teaching grew to
over 100 Bible Clubs ministering to two
thousand
children weekly. In 1989 I left the Children's Ministry in the hands of people
who had been with me almost since the beginning. I
then spent
one year working in the new DCR radio station organizing and categorizing the
music library.
Starting in
1990 I was the Director of Music Ministry at Amor Viviente, Tegucigalpa,
emphasizing the renewal of praise and worship, and
street
evangelism through Christian music. This ministry grew to include:
Praise and Worship teams, Christian bands, Vocal
groups and soloists
The Lord
provided numerous opportunities for us to minister in the church and outside of
the church through:
Christian
open-air concerts, Praise and Worship Seminars, Ministry through praise and
worship in other congregations, The recording of
five
Christian music cassettes which have spread throughout Central America
After
twelve fruitful years in Tegucigalpa, we felt that the Lord was calling us to
make a move and to work with the Amor Viviente
congregation
in San Pedro Sula to assist in the establishing and edifying of that local
church body. Dan continues as the Technical Director
of the four
Christian radio stations (which requires much travel), but all our local
service is poured into the San Pedro Sula church.
We have
been in San Pedro since January, 1995. Our involvement includes praise and
worship ministry, radio programs, teaching in
seminars
and preparing teaching materials for use in our church home groups. As the San
Pedro Sula church grows, we are looking
forward to
the new challenges of service and ministry and invite you to participate with
us through your prayers and giving. Your faithful
support
allows us to strengthen the Body of Christ in Honduras and you share in the
fruit of this Ministry. (Last updated: 30/07/2001 21:14:38)
