Our first team arrived on January 7, 2013 and it was their first time to Honduras excluding team leader, Mark Hubbard. Mark was able to partner with another team last year and quickly fell in love with the people of Honduras. Mark shared last year he was going back to North Carolina and see if his church would like to bring a team for 2013. Mark looked at the schedule in September and there was two weeks left both being at the first of January. Mark took the first week. This was the first time we had a team come together in four months to build a home. Way to go Pittsboro Baptist Church. We arrive at the job site all excited to build Andres, Rhiana, Juan and Rhiana Isabella a home. Everyone was talking and greeting one another and finally Chris, one of the team members, asked where are the blocks. There was absolutely not one piece of materials delivered for the construction, not even a bag of cement. Orfilio gets on the phone to Promaco and ask where are the 800 blocks, many bags of cement and the rest of the materials. They informed us we had to have a family member come in and let them know we needed the materials. This was a first time. First of the year and things do change here in Honduras. So Mike, Orfilio and I head to Promaco to see what is going on. We were about a third of the way there and we passed Juan, son of family, on his bike headed to the Promaco. We picked him up and off the four of us went to see why the materials were not delivered two days prior to the arrival of the team.
Faith and Deeds
"What good is it my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Supppose a brother or a sister is without clothess and daily food. If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead."
James 2:14-17
