Sunday in Honduras We fly today.
Wow. Want an awesome experience the Lord has given us, has given me. I could write pages and pages. Honduras is a very poor country with 110,000 families more in poverty than 5 years ago and over two thirds of children are malnourshed. The needs here are great.
We saw around 2000 people with around 140 indicating first time decisions for Christ. Wow. And me in the dental chair cleaning teeth and praying with each patient. It is so wonderful to know that the pastors will take each one and follow them up. It is great to know that we are a part of what God is doing in this country. I told the pastors that I leave this country filled with the Lord and what He is doing.
Our Madison team will be flying out later than the rest of the group so we have a little more time here. I can say that I am ready to go home to see my wife and family. I have missed them. I pray for the day when Hannah my oldest can join me on the trip.
Before I close this chapter, I have to tell you about Tom. He is a 76 year old retired pharmacist who decided a few years ago to move to the Honduras. He weights 105 lbs soaking wet and is tough as shoe leather. He goes on every trip in country trip and serves. He is a great inspiration to all. Our group was really inspired by his commitment. Tom and I really hit it off.
The bottom line is that almost anyone reading this can come and serve. It just takes a willing heart and some courage to go beyond your comfort zone. And God will do the rest.
The praise and honor and glory go to God.
