Day Seven - Friday, August 2, 2024

The faithful prayers of Tom, Darcel, Melodee, Gary, Adele, Marge, Sandy, Amy, Brenda and Karin have seen this mission team through many hours and days. Thank you sincerely! “I ❤️ LaPaz” sign with our team in back. ++++++ The results are in: our MOST Ministries Team 2413 in Honduras served 459 people through the eyeglass clinic this week. We feel blessed to be a blessing. ++++++ Keith led our morning devotion with a reading from Jesus Calling about walking by faith not by sight. Afterwards Christen affirmed Keith with words about how, as they both were “pointers” serving side-by-side in the testing station all week, he grew in his faith as he opened up with people serving humbly. Our song was “Walk by Faith not by Sight” by Keith and Krystin Getty. Today we head out for what MOST ministries calls a “Cultural Day.” Our host loaded us up into a 20-seat bus and drove us about 15 miles northwest to a bigger town where we could see a few of the sites. One was the  Comayagua cathedral clock ,

As we wind down our time on the mission field, we are thankful for the faithful prayers of Tom, Vinny, Lisa, Jamari, Vincent, Melodee, Gary, Adele, Sandy, Amy, Brenda, Karin and Mark. Alysia led our closing devotion with a reading from the transfiguration account in Luke. Peter wanted to put up tents and stay right THERE. We might like to stay right HERE in Honduras. But…How can we take what we experienced here and better serve the people in our lives back in our communities? Our final song was led by Heather. We joined in perfect harmony on “The Blessing”. Okay, the blog writer just made a joyful noise and trusted God to accept our heartfelt worship. We leave the hotel at 8:20am for the XPL airport. It is sad to leave, but we know God used us for His good work here in Honduras. …at the airport in Honduras… Now we wait. We got through to the gate easily. Alysia got us here before the crowds. She really is serving as a mission team leader in her area of giftedness. And God sent us a flu

Day Six - Thursday, August 1, 2024

It takes many people for a mission trip to happen, not the least of which are prayer partners. We are thankful for the prayers of Tom, Darcel, Vinny, Lisa, Jamari, Vincent, Melodee, Gary, Adele, Sandy, John, Alice, Sandy, Amy, Brenda and Karin today. Stan began our day with a devotion based on selected verses of Amos 7. ”Go prophesy.” Have we ever felt are called to do something we don’t feel qualified for? Amos was sent by God from tending sheep to prophesying to His people. Jesus came to rescue us by laying down His life. Stan asked us to: name a challenge I didn’t feel prepared for describe how I got thru it what did it teach me about Gods love What were we asked to do on this mission trip that we didn’t think we could do — that with God’s help we did? We closed with “Just give me Jesus” by Jeremy Camp.
