This was the most humbling prayer I have heard in a long time. Pastor Neal was asked to pray over the first block of the home. This is Pastor Neal first time to Honduras and he was asking questions about many things. He wanted the family's names each and every one so he could pray over them. He asked Maida to help him pronounce them correctly. He put a lot of time and respect for the family prior to praying. He put a lot of thought and consideration into this prayer. Before he prayed we all gathered around the family and placed our hands upon them and each other all connected as one. Pastor Neal looked at Pastor Carlos asking him to explain to the family what the cornerstone represents. Pastor Carlos began explaining in details how important this cornerstone like Jesus Christ is our cornerstone to making this house become a home. It has to be perfect and precise in all aspects. Just like Jesus Christ is perfect in our lives and keeps us firm in our foundation. This was just the beginning of an emotional time spiritually for everyone standing around that cornerstone. As Pastor Neal started to pray in details about the responsibility of each one of the family members as he called them by their name you could hear sniffling go on all around. There was very few dry eyes this morning in Marcovia, Renacer. Pastor Neal prayed for Omar to be the spiritual leader of his home where his strength will help lead and guide his wife Dunio. His discipline for his children would be godly but firm in how they are raised. They will see Omar's godly example in his words and actions on a daily basis. Dunio will seek God's guidance and feel his tender touch as she takes care of her families physical needs on a daily basis. She will be given the strength to feel the tenderness of His touch in everything she does for her family. Pastor Neal was so precise and sincere in his prayer for this family. He prayed Shelly and Isai will feel the love of Jesus Christ from their parents daily in this new home. They will grow up knowing who Jesus Christ is in their home. They all as a family will take time to pray together daily and be mindful of who is building this home for them. I am sure I left out so much more and did not do Pastor Neal's prayer justice, this one time you just had to be there to know what this even means. What an amazing God we serve when we allow HIM to serve through us. Thank you Pastor Neal for making this prayer everyone's God moment.
