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!!!:}

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!

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,

Rich

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!

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!

Sadly today is the last day that we are going out door to door.   I would love to stay down here for another month.  We’re going to have a youth rally today and they are saying we could have up to 200 children.  NUTS!  We don’t have  a lot planned for it but we do have a few games and testimonies.  The rest is up to God. 

I hope my family and friends haven’t missed me too much.   I know plenty of you would like me to stay down here!  And to my friends at FFSB-I hope work hasn’t been too boring without me there.  I’ll see you all when I get back home!

Last night we were so blessed to be a part of a church that had so many children there. I was amazed at how well they worshipped and praised God and also how attentive they were during the service. I had a little girl come sit with me and Wes she had remembered me from earlier that day. Even though we couldn’t speak the same language we understand the same God.

Later last night when we had share time, Wes said that in all the greetings of the children he is reminded of Jesus. He said he thinks of Jesus and how he would travel around to city to city and be greeted by people and children and they would follow him. I am sure you have read the blog Wes wrote about Nelson receiving Christ and then following us back to church. Yesterday Wes said he had some other children just follow them around. He said it makes me feel a little like Jesus did and how the little children would greet him and follow him.

If anything I just hope in this week we have learned to be a little more like Jesus.

Today is our last  day. I can’t believe that we are leaving tomorow. This week has gone by way too fast. God has done so many amazing things in all of our lives. I’m not ready to leave. But I’m so excited to see how God is going to use us when we get back home.

Today is the youth rally. We’re all missing you Joey! We’ve been praying for you. See you soon!

We’re getting ready to do devotion. Pray for that God can continue to shine through us. Miss you all.

Good morning! Thursday, when I found out that some of the team was going to a school, I asked God did he want me to go. I didn’t get a yes and I didn’t feel compelled, so I went door to door. I found out why later. We met a lady that was a Christian and as we talked I found out we had several things in common. So I encouraged her to keep the faith and stay strong. I was meant to talk to her. It is nice to know that as we struggle through life, we can help someone else later who is in the same boat. Then we met some teens, about 6, who was sniffing something through a bandana, and they were acting silly. Our interpreter, Jasmine stated, “I’m scared” and told us why. So we gave them tracts and invited them to church and then left.  I wasn’t scared. My team was Keith (missionary) and Adam. !We had another fiesta in the afternoon and I got to do a role in the Sin Box drama again. That was so much fun! One hour before the fiesta, we went door to door. A young lady accepted Christ but we all felt by the way she acted, she did it to get rid of us. However, only God knows for sure. We left the Bible and a Christian book and a tract with her. In the p.m. service, I was blessed by little girls that looked like angels in their robes who hugged all of us to greet us and then hugged us again when we left. Cool! I felt very welcomed. Breakfast is about ready so I will go. I usually lose weight on mission trips but I don’t think so this time. Fanny is a great cook. Praise the Lord! The missionaries have done an excellent job taking care of us! This is the best mission trip ever. I am so glad that the national church leaders listened to God when they decided that all teams should do evangelism this year. It has been awesome to see so many come to Christ!

I am going to start at the end and work backwards.  Tonight we went to church and were led in worship by little girls in white robes.  They did interpretive dance to the worship music.  It was amazing.  Erin and Adam gave their testimony and both did a great job.  Rich preached and then the church had a prayer for a lady that was having problems.  One of the girls, one that begged me not to leave earlier in the day, came to me and wrapped her arms around me while we prayed.  All of a sudden I felt her shaking and I looked down.  My shirt was wet from her tears.  So I sat down and held her.  For the rest of the prayer time, at least 10 minutes, she cried on my neck.  Afterwards I asked her if she was okay and she said yes, that she had been praying and was praising God.  Isn’t amazing how a child reminds us how we should worship. 

Earlier in the day we went Evangelizing in the area of the church we went to tonight and then after lunch we went back to that area to invite them to a Fiesta and to Church.  We did the Fiesta in the church and had about 75 kids.  THe best way to describe a Fiesta is think of VBS and doing it in one hour, without the craft.  We have games, music, drama, prizes and the Gospel presentation.  And then of course candy. 

We saw 45 professions of faith today with 18 of them being at the Fiesta.  This brings the total professions of faith so far this week to 143.  God is Amazing!!  How He can use the ten of us to glorify Him in this way. 

Well, I need to share the computer now, so I will tell you all goodbye.  Keep praying for us, we will be home soon.

God Bless,

Amy

PS

Adam, Austin and Amber – We hope you are all having fun.  We miss you and love each of you very much.  Keep praying for us as you have been.  I cannot wait to talk to you on the phone when we get home.  We will call you on Sunday.  Be sure you are good for your mom and dad, and Adam, have a great Friday at school tomorrow.
