Thank the Lord for a day of acclimation and rest. It would have been difficult to dive straight in to the demands of on-site ministry and construction without the time needed to hydrate and adjust to the climate.
We spent the day worshiping and touring. "Gringo Church" was held at 9am and was a sweet and intimate time spent between the two visiting teams and the permanent staff. We sang and listened to Mike preach the word and were even able to participate in Communion here. The pastor for the team from Tuscon, Phil, led us in a special time of reflection. Afterward we were able to tour the city, see La Fe and run by where Mike and Erin live. At 4pm, we attended local services with the Hondurans. What a passion they have in worshiping their Lord. It was quite a sight to behold as well as participate in.
Looking forward to getting our feet on the street tomorrow and immersing ourselves in the culture and living out God's great commission.
Praying, Expecting, Looking, and Proclaiming...
As you were worshipping there in Honduras, your Faith family was singing All the Way My Savior Leads Me. Hope these words are comforting to you as you start work tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAll the way my Savior leads me,
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
All the way my Savior leads me,
Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.
He definitey does lead - into places and situations that we never expected. BUT - He also goes with us!! The boy is doing great!!
