Home Dedication

This is such a bitter sweet time, day five of the project.  This group has worked all week side by side with complete strangers and throughout this process of taking 800 blocks, 50 bags of cement, two doors, two windows and a roof this house became a home.  A home where complete strangers became a family.  Team leader Danny shared he had been five times to Honduras and this year was very special and different all in one, we all became a family this week and Danny says I give God all the glory for an amazing week.  The dedication started out with Kenny opening the dedication up in prayer to our Heavenly Father.  Danny at this time gave the family their family Bible and shared the scripture from Psalm 127.  Pastor Martin was able to share a few words prior to praying over the house.  Pastor Martin gave God all the glory first and foremost.  He thanked the team for coming alongside him this week for making this possible for he and his family.  Pastor Martin is such a godly humble man. At this time everyone laid hands on the house and prayed a pray of dedication led by Kenny.  Oh my the words which flowed from his lips was so humbling for all who could hear. Kenny mentioned every single family member by their name and prayed individually for each family member.  He gave all the praise to God for this entire week and how two different cultures came together as one and built a house which Martin, Kelin, Martin Jr, Joscon, and Noe will make into a home.  A home where Jesus will radiate on a daily basis.  Others will see the love of Jesus overflow into the community of Cedeno.  What an amazing prayer of dedication for Pastor Martina nd his family.  It is definitely one of those moments where you simply had to be there. After the prayer Brad shared from his heart how we prayed over the first block and now we have prayed over the entire home.  We started with the cornerstone and everything about that first block had to be just right as is our relationship with Jesus Christ.  So we laid the first block, put in the doors and windows, the gables and today the roof.  Now the key is to be represented to you all where you will have a safe haven for your family to live and share the love of Jesus Christ.  Brad read out of Ephesians 2:20-21.  Luicia presented Kelin with the key to their new home.  They all stood there and we all said open up your new home family.  Congratulations and praise God for an amazing week in Cedeno with two great groups of North Americans and Hondurans.
