Much more than building a home


 
The group came down challenged with more than building a home.  They were asked to spend time in the Word daily and journaling their activities of the day.  They took to the task as a pleasure not a chore.  They each would find a corner of the world for quiet time and basted in God's word and putting their week into words on paper.  Also, they were very generous in bringing down items for baby bags, school supplies and hygiene kits.  They worked several evenings assembling the different items in the bags so they can be taken to the local hospital and local schools.  Thank you for your generosity.  After working all morning on Pastor Martin's home, the North American young men and the Honduran young men took on a challenge of futbol.  Well some things never change the Hondurans once again were the winners, 4-1.  Maybe next time North Americans.  We keep trying to beat the Hondurans but they very humbly walk away from the futbol field winners every time.  They do walk away with a slight grin on their faces.  God is good all the time, even when loosing at futbol.
 
"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ:
Who being in the very nature of God, did not consider equality to God something to be grasped,
but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness,
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient, to death- even death on a cross.
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name above every name
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God our Father."
Philippians 2:5-11
