Danny and I talked numerous times prior to his team coming. We both agreed to hire two Hondurans to help build the home. We arrived on the first day of the project with our two paid workers to Pastor Martin and five or so men from his church and another community to help make this house a home. The team was humbled by the out pour of help for their pastor and friend. God blessed me beyond measure when one volunteer showed up from about 5 kilometers down the road, This young man I had not seen in about three to four years. I always kept up with him through Pastor Carlos, my friend and adopted son Fernando. Fernando now is a daddy to a sweet little girl and has a full time job working at the fish company. God is good. I have prayed a long time for the life of this young man. He came out to give back to God what God had so graciously given to him.
We got blessed with Pastor Pedro to come along beside us and serve as well with a smile as always. Amilio a friend of Pastor Martin and church member was there the entire week. But the sweetest helpers of all was Martin Jr's friend, Issac and Aaron. They worked very hard along side of their best friend. They were so happy for Martin Jr to receive a home. Throughout the week others came along to help when Fernando could not be there because of work God always sent another young man to mix the mescal. This group of six was beyond blessed this week. We praise God for all the willing and obedient Honduran men who came out to serve their Lord along side six willing North Americans who also were obedient to God's calling. All God's people shouted "AMEN!!!!!"
