Serving the Lord in many ways


As well as building two Sunday School classrooms and playing futbol there were many other activites going on to make their week successful. These men got in there washed their dishes and fixed their lunches. Each day some of them stopped long enough to assist Bob, the team leader and Egla, our amazing translator do Vacation Bible School. Several days while the men were working on the Sunday School Classrooms the children were learning how to sing "God is So Good in English. They were able to sing it perfectly by the end of the week. Egla was an awesome teacher for these children that week. The children came to love her very much. The Americans learned a new dance called the Chicken Dance. The Honduran children as well as the adults participated in this activity. They even got the pastor of the church and Jose, our bus driver to do it with them. The young men who were mixing the mortar thought it was funny so guess who got to do the Chicken Dance as well. Yes, our Honduran teen-ages who were once laughing. And of course they were very good. The children of Honduras love to sing and enjoyed Bob playing his guitar with them. As the others were working on the children's Sunday School Classrooms they could hear the beautiful sound of those children singing songs about Jesus. Just had to be there to fill the presence of the Lord. It gave the American men goosebumps as one of them shared one night during their share time. Each evening the teams have a devotional/share time to reflect on their day. There was some very amazing stories and scriputures shared during the week. But there was a most beautiful sight shared during their dedication time and it was when Steve and Wiley two of the team members served the Honduran men and women a drink. This is what Jesus would do. The expression on those ladies faces when they were served a drink words truly cannot express. The ladies had cooked all week for the Honduran workers. They traveled quiet a ways to bring the lunch each day. So it was their turn to be served. Thank you guys for your humbleness and selfless act of service. To God be the glory.
