Here are a couple more blog entries from team members
This week has taught
me that God really does show up in the perfect moments. One thing I’ve been
struggling with recently is faith with out feeling. Growing up in the youth
group, we go on so many retreats that almost make it impossible to not feel God
and have a God-high when you come home, but recently I haven’t been feeling
God. My biggest prayer leading up to this week was that God would use my past
experiences to help share the gospel, that the right translator would be paired
up with me, and that everyday I would be in the right spot and not let myself
get in the way of God doing His thing. On Tuesday I decided to do evangelism
and God answered my prayer. My translator Ricardo and I had a rare lull in the
day when Mikayla brought over a young woman named Norma from medical who had
expressed she was depressed and pondered suicide and I was like you’ve got to
be kidding me. But it was perfect. Ricardo experienced something just three
weeks ago that really helped this girl and she had been praying to God for a
sign to hold on and even though I didn’t have a HALLELUIAH PRAISE JESUS moment,
I thought yeah God is listening and my faith shouldn’t be based on feeling because
feelings can be deceitful. P.s padres I miss the dogs the most. Sorry not
sorry. Jk love you. And you too Scotia.

It’s been a difficult
week… but a good week. It’s difficult
seeing poverty that is so grinding.
Homes literally built out of pallets, with tin roofs and dirt
floors. Water that is simply
undrinkable. Yet… God is at work
here. It has been 11 years since I was
last here. The Honduran people are still
the most gracious people I have ever met.
Working in evangelism, I can say that far more people (most, actually)
have heard the Good News of Jesus Christ than was the case 11 years ago. And far more Hondurans have sincerely put
their faith in Jesus as their Savior in the last 11 years. I honestly believe that today, despite their
material poverty, Honduras is a more Christian nation than my homeland. God is truly at work here.
For those of you who
have been praying for our team, “Thank you!”
We can feel your prayer support.
Keep those prayers coming!
Dios te bendiga!

PHOTO "SHOT OF THE DAY"
Today's photo "shot of the day" goes to Albert and Matt who served in Evangelism on Thursday. Kudos to Albert as he shadowed Matt in Evangelism and then personally shared his faith in Jesus Christ and was used by God to lead three people to trust Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
PRAY FOR US
Tomorrow marks the final day of ministry at the second brigade site. The week is almost over and there will be many emotions among our team members. Pray that we finish strong and that many are impacted by the love of Christ. Pray that on this last day many come to faith in Jesus Christ for there is NOTHING more important than people coming to know Jesus.
