Sunday--WOW! WOW!

What a great day! I am just going to give you some "teasers" because the team will have so much they want to share!

Our morning time at New Life was great as we presented our Sunday school lessons...we broke into 4 groups and taught 4 of the names of God to the kids as they rotated through each group. We really sought to find the lessons that would speak to the lives of these kids. As they taught the names and their meanings to the kids, it was really cool to hear the sweet little voices repeating, "Jehovah Jireh, Dios es mi providor."

The team will tell you that the first lesson for each group was the hardest...when is it not hard (in any country, in any language) to get 5 years old to sit still and listen???? :) Although it was stretching, they did an amazing job! And of course then as we ran and played after our church time, there was much laughter and fun!! We also had some hard moments...one of the little boys at the orphanage who has never had any contact with his family had some friends of the family show up to try to see him. The other children at the orphanage began to talk (as kids do) telling this little boy that his mom was coming to get him. The idea that he would once again have to endure the idea of abandonment was heart-wrenching. Continue to pray for these children as they learn to really trust God as their Provider, their Banner, their Peace, and that He is always with them.

Yesterday evening we presented our "program" at Manuelita--Coach ReEtta's choreography is now international as the dances we have learned at Homecoming and Formal, as well as one by the dance team, were performed to the delight of the teenagers. We were able to convince a few of them to learn the line dance! An LCCS tradition!!!!

Our devotional time last night was amazing...we really experienced the preciousness of God's presence...and we know that the truths of Isaiah 61:1-4 were true for us. And that's all I can say about that for now!

Today is a busy day at Helping Hands and Manuelita...and tomorrow is our Easter Egg Hunt (at Helping Hands and New Life). Thank you for your continued prayers for us as we see God move here in Honduras. There are not enough words to express the joy in my heart at seeing the Lord move in us and among us.

With hearts for the nations, with hands touching the faces of sweet children, with our feet in Honduras, we send our love.........

  1. Reading your morning post touched my heart. I will add my prayers to the team's that the Truth you shared will take root and grow in the hearts of the children at New Life and Manuelito, and that the little boy mentioned will know that there is ONE who will never leave him. And bless the Lord for his presence in devos. I ask for more, much more! Ahh...I love you guys and am so grateful for your ministry in His name!
