Everyone eagerly gathered around the first block. Mike ask for the two oldest people in the community to come forward and lay their hands on the first block. Our dear friend Don Juan and Putroma are the oldest in the community at the praying over the first block. Everyone placed their hands on Don Juan and Putroma as the circle enlarged with many folks Honduran and North American alike. Mike was blessed to stand next to Teodore, who allowed the first church to meet in his home. Pastor Carlos was asked to pray the prayer and Maida did not translate as this was not about us today. This was about God first and then our sweet Honduran brothers and sisters. We did not want the translating to break up the prayer of thanksgiving was out poured from Pastor Carlos' mouth. There was AMENS coming from all around as Pastor Carlos continued the prayer to the beginning of many prayers and blessings which will follow on this beautiful morning in El Porvenir, Choluteca, Honduras. Thank YOU GOD for this moment and time. This was all in God's timing. Four years ago we wanted to build the church but God was not quiet ready for this to happen. This day was dedicated to our Heavenly Father which all blessings flow on a continual basis if we will only stop and listen. All God's people shouted AMEN!!!!!
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
