We would love to introduce to you the flexible team of the year. Salemburg Baptist Church along with two other churches, AME Zion Church, Roseboro, North Carolina and the Bridge out of Fayetteville North Carolina had their commissioning service Sunday before they were suppose to leave bright and early on Monday morning. As Mike and I were preparing for bed Sunday evening our phone rings which is most unusual for our phone to ring unless it is our children. So we both looked at each other and said, "What is wrong?" Well it was not our children but one of our many families who come to Honduras every year faithfully to serve beside us here in Honduras. It was the team leader John calling to share with us there flight was cancelled. So the team proceeded to find a way to get down here on Tuesday. They made it from Raleigh Airport to Charlotte Airport to Atlanta Airport by midnight Monday. Praise God they all could get on these different flights, because there was thirteen people on this team. Right there folks was God at work. At the time there was only a hand full of people who knew each other on this team. One team member, Harrison shared he almost did not come because he only knew five of the twelve people who were coming. Harrison shared after spending the night in an airport with these folks they quickly became family and not strangers. Harrison shared it was almost like that event did not even occur. Because once they arrived in Honduras God took them and did mighty works for the Kingdom. Holly shared Satan is always ready to tear down what God has planned if he can. This team did not let Satan tear down their team of thirteen, They all had the most amazing attitudes once arriving in Honduras. Holly said, "Our night in the airport was a positive experience and not a negative one." To God be the glory. Satan did not win. Carol shared for a diverse team to become one this week and the airport experience definitely brought all thirteen people together as one. God answered Carol's prayer by allowing her and her team members to have a team building experience on the floors of the airport. They also shared how the airline staff gave them snacks and blankets for sleeping. Team leader, John, Charles, Harrison, Tyler, William and Shawn took turns watching everyone's stuff as they did try to get some sleep. One lady actually felt quiet comfortable as she sandwiched herself between two of our team members for some shut eye as well. God's provision for so many different parts of this adventure and His hand was at work the entire time. Thank you God for allowing this amazing team to see YOU in this opportunity as they began their way to Honduras.
