We all gathered around the home and team leader, Steve opened up the dedication service with scripture out of Matthew 6 about worrying about life. This family after many years finally received their home they had been praying for. Each time Mike and I would visit the family and discuss their home Alicia would cry tears of joy she was finally getting her home. Steve shared some profound words which basically said the North Americans did not build this home and the Hondurans did not build this home but God built this home for them. At this time they gathered around the home with hands placed on the cement blocks as Pastor Brian prayed a prayer of dedicating this home to the Lord. This home will represent the love of Jesus whoever enters it and gave God all the praise and honor.
After the prayer of dedication the family received their family bible by Mike who encouraged them to read it daily and live it out in their lives. Clara gave Pearla her own bible with a smile of love from God. Darryl gave Daniel his own bible as well and encouraged him to grow mightly in the Lord as he matures into a young man. Papa Joe gave Petrilimo the keys to his home as we all followed Petriimo and Alicia to the front door. The door was open they walked into their new home with a sense of excitement and contentment that God provided this for them. Petrilimo gave God all the glory for his new home and thank everyone who came out to help this dream become a reality.
