It was a bittersweet day. Jose and Maria were getting their home but our new found friends would be finishing up the job God called them to do and return to their own homes. As the morning progressed Gene was busy with last minute touch ups with Ezekiel. Also Gene shared how precious it was to watch Jose observing as his new floor was going down into his home. It did my heart good to watch Jake and Leonel cleaning each window in detail to get all the mud splatter off of them. Pastor Randy and his church secretary, Kim worked together on the doors along with Tyler and Lynn. They were making this home something all would be proud of.
The time came for the dedication. But the most precious part of this dedication was when Pastor Randy opened it up for anyone to share. Jose shared how many years he had dreamed of providing a home for his family. He prayed to God for this dream. As he was sharing about one day he came home from the fields after working and Mike and Ginger were there talking to Maria about their home. God had heard his prayer and gave him a dream come true. How big is your God? Is HE as big as Jose's GOD. The faith the Honduran folks have in God is so convicting to all of us. The beauty of their love for others is definitely Christ-like. We praise God with Jose and Maria today for God's provision in a dream come true.
Karen was not going to speak but God said yes you are. So Karen graciously thank the ladies of this community with gratitude for all the ladies of the team on teaching them what true Christian hospitality really is in life. As we gathered to pray God was gathering some rain clouds in the back ground. They were able to pray over the home, give out the bible and key before God placed showers of blessing upon everyone. Thank you God for you are a perfect holy and mighty God.
but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.
Psalm 66:19
