Thank You

On Thursday Brad and Julie along Humberto, their translator got blessed with three very special young ladies taking them out to share the gospel.  Sadly one of them is not in this picture.  She was about the Lord's work getting ready for the church to start VBS.  Two of these young ladies were the daughters of Pastor Hector's daughter.  The amazing part of being here sharing the gospel this week is we have known Pastor Hector and his family for ten years.  We knew these two young ladies when they were 6 and 8 years old.  How beautiful it is to see how a godly home can produce such godly children.  These young ladies helped Brad and Julie share the gospel with two older ladies and sitting on a couch was two young girls listening and they also accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior as well as the older two ladies who Brad and Julie were initially sharing the gospel with.  So Brad felt led by God to go over to Pastor Hector's wife and thank her for raising two godly daughters who helped them so much today out sharing the gospel.  God uses any age to share the good news of Jesus Christ, His Son.

Brad and Julie's devotionals were one in the same.  Brad shared how they look so forward to coming to Honduras more so than taking a vacation.  When we were children we got praised for doing our chores, cutting the grass or maybe cleaning our room.  Our parents praised us for what we had done. When we come to Honduras we pray plan and prepare ourselves for this trip.  God rewards us as our Heavenly Father when one lost sheep comes to Christ by receiving salvation and eternal life.  In turn Julie says we should be excited about coming to Heaven.  Because everything on this earth is temporal but eternity is forever. Our vacations are temporal but this week in Honduras is for the Kingdom of God, it is eternal.  Brad and Julie basically shared if we are obedient to God and come and serve along their Honduran brothers and sisters we will receive the fruits of our labor which is bringing the lost to Christ and watching the harvest become fruit.
