Welcome Back First Baptist Church of Raleigh Team 103

Welcome back First Baptist Church of Raleigh. This excitable team arrived on January 31 ready and willing to go to work to build Reyanldo and family a home where they will never be exposed to the elements again. Off we went down the roads of Honduras towards the south to Choluteca. Arrived safely and settled to arise early on February 1. The team got up made their sandwiches, fixed their gatorade and water, washed their dishes and loaded the kia. While all this was going on Pastor G arrived to reunite with his former construction team. Hugs were shared by all. Before departing we gathered in a circle to pray for the day ahead and what all the Lord anticapated for this team. The team went off to load up in the van and the kia. Unfortunately the friends in the kia had a slight opportunity which actually happened several more times before the problem was corrected. They got to push the kia off and they went all the way around the next block before it started. There is always a special opportunity to arrive each and every day we serve the Lord. No matter where we are located. It is all in how we look at the opportunity. That first morning our cup was only half full. In the words of Pastor G "NO PROBLEM". So off to the job site. They traveled down a dusty dirt road about forty minutes before arriving at one of the sweetest villages God has ever created, El Carrizo. Reynaldo was eagerly awaiting the North American group at the gate of the church. He opened the gate so the three vechicles could pull in to the job location. We gathered together with Reynaldo's family and introduced ourselves and shared a prayer with them before disbursing to get the four corners set and string lined up for the first course to be layed. The beginning of an amazing week in El Carrizo.

"Now therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself is the cornerstone , in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit." Ephesians 2:19-22
