On July 27 First Baptist Church of Jacksonville arrived for their tenth time to Honduras. They arrived as if it was their first time. Their excitement was contagious as we road through the mountains of Honduras towards our destination, Choluteca where our mission house is located. We headed toward a town called Cedena where we built a home for a lady named Edelma, her husband, her daughter and four grandchildren. The four grandchildren's mother passed away two years ago so Ms. Edelma is raising her four grandchildren. Each morning the team had a devotional before heading out to the job site and prayed. They also shared their "God moments" in the evening after their evening devotional. The team consisted of seven women and two men and alot of Honduran brothers and sisters. This was definitely a "family and community" project. The sense of family was definitely on that corner while the home was being built. They built the new home up against the existing home and put one of the doors going into the existing home. Ms. Edelma will continue to use the old home for her kitchen area. They had to take part of the roof off at the front of the old struture down so they could build the newer one. The team stayed right on schedule the entire week with five courses on the first day and each day the courses continue to get higher and higher. Pastor G had to assist in driving the kia a few days because Jose had recently lost his mother. So Pastor G offered to come to the house for three days to drive back out to Cedena. We are so blessed with such dedicated employees. They all are so willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. This team perservered to get their task at hand completed. Job well done First Baptist Jacksonville.
