Home Dedication, an emotional one

 
After enjoying a delicious meal provided by Andres and Suyapa we gathered around the front of the existing home to dedicate their new home.  Pastor Jon shared from Joshua 24:15 "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord."  But what was most impressive to Mike and I and first time ever happening at a home dedication, Andres had his bible ready to listening to what Pastor Jon was going to share from God's word.  What a devout and godly man Suyapa is married to.  She and the two daughters, Maria and Lupa are blessed to have such a godly husband and father who demonstrates God's love on a daily basis.  The team shared their gratitude for the privilege and honor it was to serve them this past week.  Andres was then allowed to share and they started first with the girls who shared with tears coming down their cheeks.  These two young ladies are ages nine and ten and exemplify the love of Jesus Christ and have been taught God is the great provider of all things.  For these two little ones first gave God praise and honor before anyone else.  They knew from listening to their daddy God provided their home for them, not NCBM nor Pittsboro Baptist, but GOD.  What a powerful statement coming from two young ladies.  Suyapa tears never stopped once she saw Andres cleaning the way to the front door of their new home.  Andres will have his business of TVs and radio repairs out of the first existing home.  He was clearing a pathway to his new entrance to his new home.  Andres worked all week on making everything just right for this moment and time.  He took such pride in what God had given him.  Team leader Mark presented Andres with the key to his new home and then prayed over the home.  Andres, Lupa and Maria went to unlock their door while Suyapa was hugging and thanking everyone for her new home.  The family entered the home together as everyone applauded them.  Thank you God for such a beautiful first week in Honduras 2015.
