One Stormy Night!

Tonight was an awesome night in Monte Rodondo. My friends Pablo, Freddie, and myself headed out to Monte Rodondo to lead the church service tonight. While on our way we had severe storms and high winds. When we got to the church we realized that the power was out and the total community was covered in darkness. We opened the church and sat there discussing if we could possibly have service since we had no electricity. As we looked around the church we found a rechargeable florescent light in the corner and Gladys showed up with some candles. So we made the decision to continue with the service. The next concern was anybody going to come during the outage. To our amazement people started walking through the door. We had around 50 people show up and the service started. We did praise and worship, but when it came time to give the message the florescent light died on us. As Pablo (translator) and myself stood up to deliver the message the power came back on. As a result of a church being faithful God provided everything we needed and two people came to know the Lord as their personal Savior. God truly is faithful no matter the circumstances and we want to give Him all the Glory in what he accomplished tonight. Please be in prayer for our new brother and sister in Christ and please pray for Lori as she is sick with the flu.

The greatest team and a decision

Well we are back in Honduras and things are back to normal. We were able to see the little guys play their first soccer game last Thursday in Colonia Kennedy. THEY ARE AWESOME! The final score was 19-1 with our guys being the victors. They had such a great time .

Here are some video and pictures of the game:

After the game, we all went the concession area for the boys to get their well deserved cokes and God had something else in store to make the day just a little better. While standing in line ordering the team cokes I heard a little voice coming from around the corner "gringo, fresco por favor". There stood a small boy by the name of Henry looking up at me with these big sad eyes. We bought Henry a coke, gave him some food and were able to share the Gospel with him. I have never seen a little childs eyes light up like his did as he listened to the Gospel. After sharing with him the plan of Salvation, Herny accepted Christ as his Savior. What a wonderful ending to our morning. Please pray for Henry as he is out on the streets at 7 years old. Maybe one day he will be a part of Forgottn Children Ministries.

Sharing the Gospel with Henry

Henry after his decision

This week we started breaking ground on the new storage building at the farm. The holes were dug today and the poles are going to be set this week. Our first team will be arriving this Saturday and start framing the much needed building. Please pray for the team as they are preparing to come.

Week four of the boys Bible study was completed today and will be finishing up our first study in two weeks. The boys are really enjoying the time we have been spending in the word. We will be staring another series once we are finished .

Lori is doing a great job with the English classes. I went into her class today and got bombarded with tons of questions in English. It was truly awesome to hear them asking so many questions and laughing as they asked them.

Lori, Freddie, and myself went last night to a school event for two of our older boys and it truly amazes me how God works in every place he takes us to. While we were waiting for the boys, to take them back to the farm, there was a street kid right in the midst of the crowd. We had a bag of food with us and asked him if he had eaten and as usual the reponse was no. So we gave him the food and started to share the Gospel with him. His name is Nelson. He began to share with us that he had made a decision to follow Christ some time back. So we fellowshiped with him for a few minutes and it broke our hearts as we pulled out of the parking lot knowing he was going back to the streets. Still in the midst of his circumstance Nelson had the biggest smile on his face because of the little food he received. Pray for Nelson and another opportunity to share more about the ministry with him.

Well that's all for now and we will rty to update more from Honduras as soon as possible. Take care and God Bless!
