Each morning we circled up at 7:00 am to pray for what God had prepared for us that day. The team did not get to use the bus this week because of the conditions of the road. Team leader, Steve, provided pillows for cushions on the very back sits of the Land Cruzer for his team members who so graciously chose to ride back there each day. The other vehicles was of course the Kia. Off they went up into the mountains of Honduras to Tapitoca, their little piece of Heaven on earth this week. They never once complained of their rough journey but came back to Mt. Horeb daily with very dirty smiles upon their faces. There was a couple of spots where there was not even a road, all boulders laying embedded perfectly so we all could bump right on through each of them. It took the team around forty minutes each day to get to their project and to return back to Mt. Horeb. But not once did anyone complain. To God be the glory of this teams flexibility to provide a very sweet and precious family a home.
Joel shared in his devotion the first evening how Peter preached in the temple court and 5,000 were saved. They were on their way to serve God when the lame beggar stopped them asking for help. On this day Peter and John's main objective in serving the Lord was to stop and help the lame beggar. Joel challenged his team members not to miss out on why you are in Honduras this week. If it is to build a house then build the house, but if God takes you in another direction please be sure you are obedient to his still quiet voice.
