Ministry Team 102 "Evangelism"

Hey Family and friends,
God is so good all the time. We worked on Tuesday the 12th getting ready for our first team. Not knowing what to expect we made checklist check them once and checked them twice to make sure we did not forget anything. Had the bibles, food, etc. everything ready to go. This was a team of seven and they came to evangelize for the Lord and that is exactly what they are doing. The first day there were 10 confessions of faith and 5 re dedications. that afternoon I went back to do VBS with the children. Before it was all said and done we had made 105 fish out of soap and washcloths. The children kept coming and kept coming. there was a puppet show and I was one of the puppets. I now have an appreciation for a puppet team. that is alot of hard work especially in 95 degrees. I kept looking around for a girl we (Stephanie) met four years ago and saw two years ago, Suyapa. There she was and she remembered Stephanie and I told her in Spanish yes in Spanish that Stephanie would be here in julio(July) She is about 12 now and a beautiful young lady and yes of course I cried. God is good all the time. I praise Him each day for the blessings He is providing for this ministry. We are here to bless others but we are the ones being blessed. Their love and hunger to be loved is so humbling. They have nothing yet have everything. The pastor of this church's daughter is sick, born with a heart condition. So please pray for them and the help she needs. Yes, we are still so excited to be here and yes the teacher in me kicked in yesterday when one little boy ask for two crayons and he had hid his 2 crayons between his leg. I said no only dos. They are even more smart down here. God bless this village as there is so much poverty but once again they all wore a smile that only God can provide. So we don't have to have anything to find JOY not happiness. Jesus first others and then yourself. But without a relationship with Jesus we do not have the JOY only He can provide. There was two children who wanted one of the volunteers to go to their house and when he got there the baby was sick. Those children wanted our team member to pray for their baby sister. That is when you find JOY. Sometimes we learn from children. God bless each of you and thank you for all your prayers and support. As I always say be a blessing and have a great day in the neighborhood. Because we surely are. We love serving our Lord in Honduras. Adios!!!!! Mike and Ginger
