Several families come together to serve

 
Welcome David and Ellie who came to Honduras for the first time.  David got out of his box and learned how to use the block saw.  Thank you David.  Ellie  brought her loving personality to Honduras and shared it with everyone.  She was the ice breaker for the women on her team as she could speak the language.  Thank you Ellie for your compassion and love for the ladies of Honduras.

 
Pastor Randy returned this year with his lovely bride, Karen.  They made an amazing team working side by side in the kitchen each and every morning as their servant hearts prepared a IHOP breakfast for their team members.  Then it carried over on the job site as they worked side by side laying blocks, cleaning doors or just being together.  They also showed the love of Christ in all they did.  Thank you both for sharing the love of Christ with everyone this week.

 
Welcome back our friends Jake and Sondra.  They came last year and so graciously returned to work for the Lord again in Honduras.  They enjoyed the working on the house together and both enjoyed time with the children.  They were wise in so many areas of life and we enjoyed learning so much from this lovely couple.  As my friend Jake would say " Good for you".  They were such encourager's for everyone on their team.  Thank you both for returning and sharing in the love of Jesus with these beautiful people.


 
Welcome for the first time but not the last time Lynn and her son Tyler who brought so much to their team.  They pitched in wherever needed bu the most amazing thing accomplished from this duo was the NCBM Gospel Band.  They worked together daily on teaching their new friends how to perform music.  But I believe their new friends taught them a lot too.  Tyler enjoyed hanging with the boys and learning so much from their daily lives.  Thank you Tyler for taking the time to be apart of the lives of these young men who have so much to offer.  Lynn you are amazing in how you persevered all week in the name of Jesus.  Job well done my friend. 

 
Bette was blessed to return this year and bring her sister-in-law Trish.  God blessed them together this week in sharing the love of Jesus Christ with others.  They laughed and cried together.  They learned how to cook together.  They worshiped the Lord together in a whole new way.  They took care of each other and learned from the Honduran ladies together. It is so beautiful to see family come together and share the most precious time ever: Jesus Christ.  They were able to spend some valuable time together as sisters in law but more as sisters in Christ.  Thank you Bette and Trish for coming to Honduras and sharing in serving Christ with these beautiful people.
 
"As for me and my house we will serve the Lord."
