Living for Jesus Christ.

Today was a truly blessed day, visited Doris School. This school was established by Doris a local community member who started with 22 children that were not getting an education because they could not afford to pay the school fees.

The school has since increased its enrollment to 120 students and this was the first year of graduations. Doris feeds the students one meal per day.There is no government funding and Doris and the group of volunteer teachers don’t earn a penny.

Doris is a real inspiration to her students and all who meet her.

VBS at the school was fun experience for all that participated. I was assigned to the matiposa team…..making butterflies. Worked with three groups of students of different age groups.  The kids were fantastic, they followed instructions and made the most beautiful butterflies.

This school has real resource needs and your prayer.

Found my niche.

Went door to door evangelizing today, it does still scare me a little but maybe I am getting better at evangelism. Today I was teamed  with Hector,  Amy and Mary and am learning more and more. I enjoy talking about Jesus and how my life has changed. There was one rededication and six confessions of faith with our group.

After sharing we enjoyed our first soda in a bag thanks to Amy and Hector. This was fun and I have picture to prove that.

Then there was prayer downtown at the Santidad church of Comoyagua. Church members stayed in the church while teams went out to invite people in for prayer. I was teamed with Mary, Carmen and Isaiah.

I was really excited to do this. When all the teams quickly returned to the church I suggested we head out and talk to people. I talked to the first person in my faltering Spanish and Carmen was fantastic  in translating. Our team walked the park approaching all in the park even praying for a few that wanted prayer but did not want to walk to the church.

We team prayed, each one of us praying while Carmen translated. Finally we stood at the corner and talked and prayed  to many people, directed even more people to the church.

Today I am proud of myself, I talked to a few people in Spanish and invited them to receive prayer without using the translator. I am now motivated to learn Spanish and become more involved in street evangelism.

Yes I have found my niche.

Can you take the heat?

Today was spent at the La Rotaria community, seems we have spent most of our time on hills and mountains which is kinda crazy when you have to walk up almost vertical slopes to get to a house.

Door to door was good because I had a chance to share the gospel and meet the most wonderful people. Fiesta with the kids was fantastic, many fun games and competitions lots candy, balloons, toys and wonderful prizes. The kids were reluctant to go home when the fiesta was over.

Church service – pastor preached on Gods love for the world. There were more than 80 people present. There was singing and more singing in Spanish.  Then we prayed the heavens down on earth.

AM so thankful to be a part of this mission, I am learning so much especially about my future role in missions.

I am struggling with the heat, its really hot here. Makes me wonder if I can continue as a missionary in the future. I am sure it would be better for me to deal with the heat here than to spend eternity in the suffocating heat of hell or for anyone to go to hell.

Can you handle the heat? Its your choice.

God prepares His workers.

Today we visited the La Rotaria community in Comoyagua. The pastor. Has been working in the area for seven years. He had members of his church accompany us on our door to door evangelism. This was a very different church membership, 80% women and 20% men. The ladies that joined us today were all on fire for Jesus. This was another blistering hot day of walking up hills and very steep slopes, more importantly a few people confessed Jesus as their lord and savior.

It was wonderful working with Rich, Suzey and Carmen and a learning opportunity for me to see the gospel shared by Suzey and Rich. I learned a few things which helps me share the gospel better. The people we met are hungry for Jesus, and work diligently at sharing the gospel in the area.

The pastor and his wife welcomed us into their home for rest and refreshments. This afternoon is the fiesta I am looking forward to that.

May the peace of Christ be with you all.

Love one another.

I was nervous about going on mission, before I arrived in Honduras, I thought I would not fit in because of my dark skin. Strangely enough people come up to me and talk in spanish and expect me to answer. It was funny as I was speechless. I will now have to learn Spanish.

Today we spent the day at the La Palma community, first it was a long scary drive up the mountainside. I am thankful to Pamela who was our expert driver for her exceptional skill in negotiating all the steep roads. The church was located at the top of the hill amidst the coffee plantations. Door to door was gratifying as usual. Meeting new people, praying with them, praying for them.

Later there were games and bible stories with the kids. Parents heard the gospel and many rededicated their lives to God.  I also saw Gods love in action, so many generous people donated clothes, shoes, dresses, toys, books and much more.These were shared with families today. Church members and friends your donations reached 40 families today. Thank you. Little kids received toy cars and fluffy toy’s. All Who received were thankful and happy.

Gods love was clearly evident today.

 

In all circumstances God is there.

My first full day in Comoyagua, mostly spent in the community of 3 October. Door to door evangelism was a first for me. I was teamed with a really supportive group, and got my chance to share the gospel with a wonderful family. I was scared and the holy spirit just took over and the good news was shared. At most homes we were welcomed and allowed to share the gospel. People are searching for God, needing  prayer. It was an honor to pray with so many gracious people.

Looking around at their modest homes, no doors, no windows, no furniture, no appliances it was evident that God was here. His word was being preached and Gods love for His children had finally reached the famines we had visited today.

So whatever your circumstance remember God IS there and He loves you.
