Tony



There was three groups who went out door to door. This group consisted of Tony, Lisa, Kay, Boo, Emily, Pastor Pedro, Fanny, Navin, Joclelyn, Little Pedro, Maida(translator), Valentine(from El Carrizo) and Aurielle(from El Carrizo). Pastor Pedro grouped three members from his church with each group, two adults and one youth. The churches of Honduras start their young adults, ages 14 and up with leadership roles in their churches. So Pastor Pedro put one youth in each of the three groups for training in evangelism. Each morning the people met at the church around 8, sang hymns and broke up into their groups. The groups as I said earlier did a devotional, shared prayer requests, talk about where they were going that day and then closed in prayer. Off they went out into the streets, paths, and up into the mountains of this community. They may have visited one two or more homes each day. They took as long as was needed according to the need of the families at each home. We had ask the team to share a God moment from their week and this is the one this group shared. They were in awe when they approached a home and they were welcomed in by the families. They always thanked the North Americans for taking the time to come and share Jesus Christ with them. They had three to recommit their lives to Jesus Christ, one to ask Jesus in their heart and so many seeds were planted. We pray the words shared that week with each person will impact their lives to come to Jesus Christ. The "God Moment" for this group was a family who had recently lost their seven year old son to a tumor which was located near his heart. His mother shared with the team when people heard he was dying they would cry and say I am sooo sorry for you and your family. The little boy would tell them, "please do not cry for me because when I die Jesus is going to carry me away!" What an awesome testimony for all of us, at the age of seven this young man knew when he died where he was going, home with Jesus. So on this day the team was the one blessed not giving out the blessing. We never know when we are sharing the gospel how God will use this time to give us a "God moment" and teach us something. Today this little boy is gone home to be with Jesus which has left his mother with peace knowing one day they will be together again. How awesome is our God!!
