Welcome back Coats Baptist Church to Mt. Horeb. This week we are taking this team to a brand new community called Caseno Las Lajas, Pespire, Choluteca. Mike and I have wanted for a while to work in this area because of existing solicitations. Mike and I along with Pastor Carlos went to the home of Erlin Hernandez one beautiful Honduras morning. He did not know we were coming to pay him a visit and at that time we had not decided if this is where God wanted us to serve and build a home. We sat down in his stick house to a man who had a gentle smile and a gentle spirit. I was in a plastic chair facing him and Pastor Carlos as they chatted. There was the most gorgeous hammock right in front of me. I reached over to touch it and it was soaked through and through with rain water from the night before. This is where little Allison age 2 and Emily age 5 sleep nightly. At this time I decided in my heart and with a gentle tug from God this is the home we need to build and God shared Coats Baptist Church is the team. So we shared with Erlin he was getting a home really soon and he needed to get busy on his foundation. God is so good and provided Erlin the means for him to build his foundation as Coats Baptist prayed up their week with Erlin, Evelyn Emily and Allison. This team would forever be changed from their week with such a sweet and humble family.
Team leader Danny shared how his team was growing in numbers would they all be able to build this home. Mike and I were slightly concern of the tightness of the lot and the number of North Americans coming this week, but you know God knew exactly who was suppose to be here and how it was all going to play out. There is not anything God cannot do if we are all willing and able to serve Him and be at the center of His Will. So let's continue the story and see how God works mightily through this team of sixteen willing servants.
