The last day has arrived and the team is working hard to finish the home and prepare for a most memorable event. A young man named Wiley last year said we should become true servants and wash the feet of the family we build the home. Well at the airport I asked Steve if he remembered this thought from last year and he said YES. So Steve discussed it off and on all week and when the day arrived and it all came together it was the most beautiful sight. Tom and Joel became a true Honduran when they carried the water upon their head from the well. In front of the completed home the team placed a bench for the entire family to sit on. They placed a bucket of water with soap and a rag in front of the family. But prior to that Steve shared how on the last night before his cruxifician Jesus washed his disciples feet. Today we would like to have the honor to wash the feet of each family member. Egla then read from John 13:1-19. The team eagerly got on their knees before one of the family members to wash their feet. First of all it was amusing to some then you could suddenly feel the presence of the Lord in this place. Silence overtook the crowd along with curosity. All you could hear was the splashing of the water. A comment that evening during our share time from Keith was heart wrenching. He shared how he does not know how he was honored to be the one who washed the feet of Reynaldo. What a humble statement. Keith you are worthy to wash his feet and the joy which was on Reynaldo's face as you painlessly and with much detail washed not just his feet but his legs as well and took such time and effort to dry them was breathtaking. Thank each of you for becoming humble servants of Christ and washing the feet of these beautiful people. Pray this act of worship will encourage German to come to Jesus Christ and anyone else who stood there and watched such an amazing act of service.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR ALL THINGS!!!
John 13:1-19
Please read this beautiful story from God's word.
