Families Evangilizing Together

Welcome to Honduras for the very first time, Derek and Deana.  They are dating and chose to start out their relationship by serving their Lord.  I am not sure how long they have been dating but what a beautiful to continue their relationship is putting Christ Jesus at the center of it.  They worked the first day together but Pastor Joey seperated them as they went out with different teams.  Raymond shared one night during God moments how Derek led the lesson Daniel and the Lion's Den for the children.  He prepared prior to coming to Honduras.  But Raymond said his commitment to study the night before he was to share was so impressive.  Derek was so commited to doing his best for his Lord. He was being totally obedient to God with what he had been given to do.  Derek shared Deana had not felt well that day but she helped him with all God gave her through the power of the Holy Spirit and she finished strong all for her Lord. One day Derek was in a house with his team and a young man started following them and joined them at this house.  The lady was not interested but the boy who was following them wanted to read the tract Derek was holding and sharing.  As they prayed with this lady and was heading out of her home, this young man took the tract and slid it under some books in on this lady's table.  During one of the times Deana shared the cube God allowed this person to receive His Son Jesus Christ through the obedience of Deana coming to Honduras.  Thank you both for giving your all to this week.  Thank you for helping finish the "Lord's Supper Puzzle".  It is ready to be framed and hung in the multi-purpose building.

Welcome back Garry and Tammy.  They have been to Honduras several times sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.  They started out together the first day with Meida but as the week progressed they went with other teams as well.  It seems Garry and Tammy always get those complicated orders.  Interestingly on their last morning they came back sharing how this gentleman challenged their faith.  He asked them are you truly Christians?  They were with this man for one hour and at the end of this visit the man confessed he was a believer of Jesus Christ and knew where he was going when he died.  Their first day they by the power of the Holy Spirit and their obedience to God was the hands and feet of Jesus and led four family generations to Christ.  There was a lot of sickness in this community which gave Garry and Tammy opportunities to pray and encourage this people their is hope in the healing power of Jesus Christ.  Tammy was most happy to get her fresh fruit daily while in Honduras.  This is such a treat for her each time she comes.  Garry and Tammy saw Mount Horeb when only the gift shop was built.  They were in awe of the magnitude of facilities God has provided for the Hondurans.

Welcome back Pastor Joey and his wife Stacy and Pastor Joey's sister, Kim.  This year Kim brought her son, Ryan and Stacy brought her niece Leah.  We all have never been more proud of two young people as we were of these two all week.  Each evening they were both always a God moment for someone.  One day Leah was able to share the evangi-cube with a teen age boy of the village.  This had to be an awkward attempt but not for Leah.  Her team shared how she shared with him in confidence about her Lord and Savior. Leah was asked in church Sunday to share in the scripture reading.  She also taught a VBS lesson one day as we.  Ryan as well shared the gospel with boldness every day he went out there. Ryan had a joy about him which was most definitely contagious.  Both of these young people saw joy in what these people did not have.  They both wished they could take this joy back home with them.  It does our heart good to see two seventeen year old coming to Honduras to share the gospel and teach VBS lessons.  They told the story to the children through a skit or simply shard the story.  They prepared way in advance for this week.  They both had great mentors in their family members, Pastor Joey, Stacy and Kim.  I want to say you all have done a great job and we thank you for bringing these two very talented and gifted young people down here to share Jesus with young people their own age. What a testimony for all young people?  If you are in God's Word even at the age of seventeen and are obedient to His calling God will use you.  You are never too young to serve your Lord.
