It seems like yesterday that we were painting the Homes of Hope Orphanage, but it has been two years already. It is that time again. We are heading back to Comayagua Honduras this week. Our team, technically leaves Tuesday from St. Louis and also from Louisville. We will meet in Atlanta where we will be united on our way to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The 6 of us from UBC will begin our journey tomorrow, however, as we first must make the drive to Alton due to our flight leaving at 6:00 am, meaning we must awaken earlier than most of our 159BCM students go to sleep at night. The two coming from Kings will also leave out early as well.
A few prayer requests come to mind:
- Pray that all the flights make their proper connections and that all the luggage gets to where it’s going.
- Pray that all the team members get to where we are going and that we are greeted by staff from Open Eyes Ministries.
- Pray that God goes before us and prepares the hearts of all we will meet.
- Pray that those on the team will not be guided by fear, but by the power of the Spirit!
- Pray that we will be a blessing to the staff and workers with Open Eyes and the local churches.
- Pray for the health and well-being of the team.
- Pray that God will provide a harvest… both in Comayagua and the surrounding areas and here at home.
- Also while your at it… pray that God makes clear what I am to preach each night or the team is going to get bored hearing the same message each night. 🙂
This will be my 5th time on Honduras, Amy and Isaiah’s 4th. We have a few others that have also been with us in the past, but 3 who have never been on a foreign mission trip. I believe God is going to do great things through us this coming week, but it will take your prayers.
The goal, as it has been in the past, is for each of the team members to blog while we are on the trip (as long as we have Internet access), so watch for new posts and pictures and feel free to post comments. It’s always a blessing to hear from back home.
We look forward to shrink our adventures both here and at home on January 13 at UBC at 6:30pm. Come welcome us home if your in the area.
