While working with the teams he attended church with them and gave his testimony on several occasions. Justin learned a lot from working beside Mike and Pastor Carlos. When he was not working he could always make time for a game of street futbol or go sift sand. Justin was always able and ready to assist wherever the need occurred.
Justin shared during his testimony how a gust of wind literally changed his life. He was sitting on the ground with his bible open one summer afternoon I believe and a gust of wind came by and turned his bible to Ephesians 1:15-16. He said this scripture forever changed his life. He accepted Christ as an eight year old not knowing what he was doing. He said he did it because his friend Sophia did it. But as he became a teen he realized the importance of the decision he made at the age of eight. But he did not follow the path he should have been on. He knew Jesus but did not know him personally. There is a big difference and at a young age Justin knows the difference. As a young teen Justin tried to be encouragers as a Christian to his friends, but they would have none of it. Justin allowed these friends to pull him down and doubt his beliefs and faith in Christ. Until that one summer afternoon, God revealed to him what his problem was, he needed to be living his life for Jesus and not man. He needed to give his entire being to Jesus Christ and at this time on July 1, 2015 Justin rededicated his life to Jesus Christ and started living his life of encouragement for himself and others who God places in his life. Yes, he said, "I will make mistakes but I have a God bigger than those mistakes." Justin now relies on Christ for all things in his life.
Folks this comes from an 18 year old young man who got closer to Jesus while serving HIM in Honduras. Thank you Jesus for the life of Justin and for Justin being obedient to our Lord and Savior this summer and the summer of 2015. All God's people shouted, "AMEN!"
