I have finally posted all of the pictures. It took me a while to figure out how to embed them into the webpage, but I found a cool gallery code that works great. You can either navigate to the 4HisService.com Family Pages o see the links to the Right for the different galleries. I am still working on the videos and will post them as soon as I figure it out.
Honduras 2010
After the Trip
It has been a few weeks since we were in country and honestly it is a little surreal to be back in the swing of the normal grind of work. I know Amy and Isaiah are ready to go back now and I am not sure if I don’t agree with them.
It is cool to see the change in the lives of the people on the team. Of course this is the main point of a short term mission trip. It is my prayer that they all will have found a new passion for serving the ministry of Christ. Lord willing, Amy is meeting with the ladies of the group and I will also try to meet with the men of the group in order to just see where each of them are spiritually after the trip. I have found that any time you go on one of these trips and God allows you to witness a great harvest there is such a high that accompanies it that when you come home it is almost a little depressing. I love the passion of the people of Honduras as they worship God and I also envy that passion for our people here, but for now I crave to maintain that passion in our own lives.

Another Amazing day from Our Even More Amazing God
With this being the last day I really tried to soak in everything. Our overall team saw 33 salvations and then this afternoon there were 12 at the Youth Rally bringing the week’s total to 188. The Youth Rally ended up being younger kids, about 110. Isaiah gave his testimony for the first time and let 12 kids to Christ at the end. God is doing amazing work through Isaiah. The kids are great to be with, even with a language barrier I was able to sit and color with them for almost one hour and we had a blast. I really feel drawn to the people in Honduras. I know Isaiah and Rich are too. So now we are praying and asking God to show us his will for our future and whether it includes Honduras. I think all three of us can see us living here and serving God everyday. I am sadden about leaving tomorrow, but am very thankful God provided our way to come here for a second time. Today we met a little boy, about 24 months, who is HIV positive. His parents no longer care for him so he is being taken care of by another little girl who is about 5. I could not believe this. They are part of Compassion International, so they are getting support. But who could do this. I just wanted to take him home with us and love and care for him. For now we can pray for him. Well, I need to go pack and get some sleep. Breakfast is at 6:30 and we leave for the airport by 8am. Thank you all for following our teams blog. I hope you have enjoyed our posts and have been able to see how God works in so many different ways through ordinary people like us. I also hopes this has encouraged you to live your life for Christ, build a relationship with Him and serve Him as He calls you to do so in Matthew 28:19-20, but remember it is As you Go so that means in your daily routine you should be sharing Christ with those you encounter and you do not have to go to a foreign country to follow Christ’s direction.
God Bless,

I’m coming home!!!! I’m excited to leave Honduras. Although, I do like it down here and I could see me and Erin living her and sharing the Gospel daily. It’s time to go back home! We have people in our own community that need to hear about how great and awesome our God is! Many times when you come back from a place where your soul purpose is to only focus on Christ, you fall away from sharing at home. I want to be fully committed to sharing the Gospel to our friends in family in MW.
Wes talked tonight about how he wants to go home and reach the people in MW as well. Maybe us two and other memebers of Kings can come together and be willing to go out (not just on GROW night) and tell people about God’s love for them. We’ll even put together a new team called “Share the Gospel to the world!” Wanna join? Just talk to me and Wes.
We’ll see you all Sunday!
Love your brother in Christ
ADAM
PS: Can anyone tell me and Wes how our Kings teams did in the basketball league tonight? Thanks!
I’m not comming home
Today was another amazing day. This morning I went out with Rich and Isiah door to door. We had 3 salvations but we were able to encourage a few fellow believers. I’ve been nervous all week when we were going door to door but each time God has been with me and I have overcome my fears. This afternoon we did a youth rally we had a large group of kids that we were not only able to play games with and sing songs with but we were able to share the Gospel and show Gods love to each of them. the memories that Adam and I have of Honduras will never be lost yet we do not want to leave. I love my family and I love my job but I also love this place. It would not take much for me to move here. (sorry mom). the people here are very welcoming and loving. It makes you realize that in the states we get so caught up in our daily lives that we forget what our true focus is. we forget that God is the reason that we are here and we should do everything to glorify God. I will truely miss all of the people that we have meet. we have had four translators that we have not only shared the gospel with but we have also shared our lives with each other. I glad to be comming home but I am very sad to be leaving.
love all of you!! thank you for all of your encouraging words and for supporting us all the way. GOD BLESS!! ERIN
I was so nervous!!!:{
Today I Shared my testimony. This whole week I’ve known it was coming, but I never thought to prepare for it intill it was an hour and a half away and I didn’t have anything ready. I made a check list on what I was going to say.
When I got there God told me: “Nope, you ain’t saying this.”
So I’m like: “What do you want me to say.” He never answered me so I told God: “I ‘ll just trust you.” And when it came time for me to say my testimony God put the words right in my mouth. And through me God saved twelve lost people!!!:}
Isaiah
Changed…
This week has been so amazing. Its been humbling and life changing. Not only has it been so awesome to get to know the people of Honduras, but I have enjoyed getting to know our team more as well. I have so many stories. So many experiences that I will never forget. I’m sure you all have heard many from past blogs from everyone. I can’t say enough how thankful I am for this week. God is amazing. He has worked in ways I don’t think any of us could have ever imagined.
Tonight was hard to say goodbye to everyone. I dont want to leave at all! But I know God has taught me so much through this week. And He is going to use us all when we get home. I have been able to share the Gospel more then I ever have done in a very long time. Out of the MANY things that I have learned this week, I know that I need to be more passionate about bringing others to Christ in my own mission field!
See you all soon!

Bittersweet
Well it is Friday, and as much as I was looking forward to not preaching tonight and to see what God was going to do through Wes, Adam, and Eric, I am sad that I did not have another opportunity to give one more message to the people of Comayagua. Amy said that she wishes we could stay another week. Who knows what the future holds, but for now we are wrapping up the trip. I will soon be placing all of the pictures and video on the website, but that will have to wait until we get back home.
God has reaped a harvest this week. We have a recorded 188 professions of faith this week and that is with the faithfulness of a few. Kings Baptist Church, as well as anyone else reading this blog, imagine what we could do with 400 being faithful to the task of sharing the gospel with our own communities. We marvel at the stories of the multitudes that came to Christ at Pentecost, but this is not impossible when God’s people are working together.
Will you be the one? We were told this week to not talk to a certain man because he has turned away everyone who has ever tried to talk to him about Jesus and that man came to Christ this week because we would not give up. A 74 year old woman who was a long-time member of the Catholic church said she believed that she was a good person and that she knew that her church was right. Today she learned the truth because we were willing to take the time and tell her that we didn’t want to change her church but to change her life by giving her the hope and assurance of a saving faith through Christ Jesus.
Tonight we are celebrating the victory with our team and our support 
staff of interpreters. I pray that as our team returns home tomorrow that we will remember that at home we won’t need interpreters in order to share the gospel, only the courage to do so.
Via con Dios,

Be Mission Minded
This afternoon we had a youth rally. Most of the kids seem to be 13 and under. We mostly had children. A lot of kids prayed the sinners prayer. The local church will follow up on them. Some of the team is sad about leaving. Right now I am happy to be here. I have learned many things that I want to copy on the next mission trip to E. Ky. I encourage everyone to pray about their involvement in missions. I want to especially encourage the ladies my age and older to go on a trip. If I can do it, so can you. If you have accepted Christ, you have a testimony to share. People are dying around us and going to hell!
P.S. I heard that the snow is gone up there. Boo hoo! I love the snow. Yesterday and today was warm; 70 degrees plus. The rest of the week was much cooler which I like very much! Adios!
New Brothers and Sisters In Christ!!
My team mate today was Amy. I was told by Rich that if I wanted a soft drink in a bag, today was my last chance. As we were “finished” evangelizing, we stopped at the store. One of the interpreters began to talk to the lady customer. She invited us next door. She has a lot of problems; one being depression. Well, I certainly can relate. So I presented the gospel to her and encouraged her about the depression. She accepted Christ. Isn’t God good!
We also met 2 men who didn’t want to talk to us so we gave them tracts and moved on. Later, in the alley we saw the 2 males reading the tracts! We met one woman who was so joyous to see us. She accepted Christ! We met one teen who didn’t know much about God/Jesus, so I went into more detail. He accepted Christ! Two young girls were listening and it was pointed out that they had been listening all along. They accepted Christ as well! Amen! Amen! Praise the Lord for His harvest! My team this a.m. had 14 to accept Christ. I feel so privileged to be here. I have met many new brothers and sisters in Christ. God willing, I want to come back!
