Our last day, we were the guests of Pastor Franklin and his family at his house for lunch. They are so kind and open their home up to our whole team (which is like a sports team with at least 20 people!). They put a lot into it and we get so many blessings from their hospitality. But we all know that this is hard for everyone too. We say goodbye again to our friends until next year. Pastor Franklin had service for us tonight so we could see the everyone from the church one last time to say goodbye to them also. We all got a certificate thanking us for supporting them. I go and never expect anything in return. I only go to serve. But I always come home with blessings on top of blessings, and new friends.
Luke 10:1-3; Pastor Franklin's sermon
When Jesus says go, it's not an option. 21 accepted Christ in Tela. Jesus has sent you to expand the Kingdom of God.
-We have been called to pick new workers for the harvest. Pray
- It's not an option. You have been sent to participate in the expansion of the Kingdom of the Lord.
-plant seeds.We must have: initiative, prayer, commitment to God.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY, 2020.
Little did we know that we would not be seeing them in 2020. Would things have been different if we only knew what this year would bring us? I am not sure, but I know God is looking out for them. This year with covid-19 and not being able to travel for our trip and so many people getting sick and some dying, and this week, there has been flooding throughout Honduras due to Hurricane Eta. So many pictures, videos of the flooding, bridges out, roads collapsing, and even the airport terminal has flooded. So that means no planes in or out for now, which will hinder their help outside the country. Lots of flooding sea-side and even in the mountains of LaCampa. Roads are being washed away because they are dirt and gravel. I pray that everyone is safe. Not just my Honduran family, but everyone there. It will be a lot harder for them to recover. It's not like here in the US that there is so many different recovery groups and the help of our government. They do not have as many resources. I ask that you PRAY. For their safety, health and that they will recover fast.
We didn't go in 2020, but I anticipate that God has many plans for us in 2021. I do not know what they are, but I have to let go of the control and let God take control. He will provide for us all.
Bendiciones,
