Planning and preparation is underway for the children and women's ministries both weeks. We will soon be cutting out the activities for the children's ministries to take with us. We will have to make some new costumes for our play we do for the bible story. Our story is the healing of the Centurion's servant. Children's ministry is always fun. Coloring, putting on plays, songs!
I am going the second week of the team's mission trip. I will be assisting with the 3 medical clinics. I am happy to get back into helping with the clinics. It has been a long time. I feel a little nervous about being on the clinic team since it has been a while. But I have the knowledge to care for people, it is just getting there and doing it! I am so glad that God can use me in this way. This will be my 8th trip to Honduras, and 5 of those have been with medical clinics. I was going through my storage box with my mission essentials and sorting through it all. I have "mission clothes" that I have stored up that I wear just on these trips. Skirts, scrubs, t-shirts. I think I need to renew some of them. They are looking a little worn. My clinic medical equipment is still working. And I still know how to use my trusty stethoscope. Hubs is having me practice on him taking BP checks!
Please, Keep praying for our team as we prepare our hearts, minds and spirit for the trip. Pray for our families too that help support us state side.
Jesus Heals a Centurion's Servant; Luke 7:1-10
7 After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. 2 Now a centurion had a servant[a] who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. 3 When the centurion[b] heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he is the one who built us our synagogue.” 6 And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. 8 For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” 10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant well.
Blessing to all,
