I am definitely sure of two people who are very proud of the Prices right here. Cameron and his wife Aubrey of two years as returned for their second trip to serve together in Honduras. Joshua who we are all so glad returned after many years away came with his big brother and sister in law. The trio came with a package of gifts and talents which brought production and lots of help for their team. They were the willing ones to get up early with Pastor Larry and cooked their team a hearty breakfast. It warmed my heart to see siblings come together to serve our Lord as each of these young people did.
This lovely couple whom I have already mentioned earlier came and served endlessly for their Lord and Savior. Cameron was asked to pray over the first block and God spoke boldly through this young man. Aubrey work to make sure her team had fresh fruit with their breakfast each morning and this young lady can cook up some delicious pancakes, almost Honduran pancakes. Yum Yum!!!! Cameron shared an amazing devotional one evening about finding God's peace in the midst of what life throws us. You used several scripture references on peace but the one which stood out was from John 14:27 "Peace I give to you my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you." Cameron shared how he used to have addictions in his life such as sports and his work. Now his focus is living is life for Jesus and where He will lead Cameron in his walk with his Lord and Savior. What an amazing testimony from a young man to lead his marriage and one day a family to put Christ first and everything else will come together according to God's plan. Thank you both for returning and working hard for Jesus.
Welcome Jasen and Jessica to Monte de Horeb Ministries for their first time. They have been married one year and decided to start their marriage out by going on an international mission trip. This is such a beautiful way to start out your marriage by putting our Lord and Savior first. What a joy it has been to work beside these two. They did not work together because while Jansen was making mud but got promoted to block laying by Pastor Carlos Jessica was filling in the joints. Jessica had devotional the first evening and what a humbling devotional she shared. The two songs she picked to be sung at the beginning and the end were "Goodness of God" and Into Dust". Jessica's scripture reference was found in Luke 9:23-27. The just of this beautiful scripture is "less of me and more of Jesus." Why should we give up the world, was a question Jessica asked the team. Because Jesus is all we need she shared, amen y amen. In verse 25 she shared when you accept Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior you may have to give up some things, maybe even things you would do on a daily basis if it does not align with God's plan for your life. The treasures of this world will not please you but the treasures of eternal life is where you find the most joy in your life. She asked on last question, "What are you putting before God?" What a profound statement and devotional coming from a young lady of 25.
Monte de Horeb wants to welcome back Alan and Donna our seasoned couple who has gone on several trips to Honduras working beside Monte de Horeb Ministries. They bring so much knowledge to the table for all these young people they worked beside this week. Donna's sweet and humble spirit was an inspiration to me this week. Along side of her compassion of caring of the well being of others. She was flexible with not having VBS this year but enjoyed her mini VBS under the shade trees of the property. She also enjoyed working on the construction end of it as it reminded her of the work her grandfather use to do. Thank you Donna for being so understanding and flexible this year. Alan was a good leader for the young men working beside him. He enjoyed learning more about how Monte de Horeb does ministry. Mike and Alan chatted along about the loss of Mike's best friend a few weeks ago. Alan was a good friend to Mike this week. He was a good listener and an encourager to Mike. Thank you Alan for this. He was a great sport when Alexa beat him in cornhole. And her smile when she beat him was priceless. Alan and Donna love serving the Lord wherever He sends them. Donna said she would rather go on a mission trip than go on a vacation somewhere. Alan and Donna both said what a honor to come along so many young people eager to serve and worship the Lord this past week. This is our future they shared and what a strong Christian future it is.
