Sunday!!!

Sunday is always a highlight of any trip to Honduras. The team has been contacted with the church at Margarita, since it was planted and then the current building was built from ground up. In past years we have been involved in building window frames, the tile floor and other things. But the most important thing that has been built is the relationships between team members and members of the church. It is a complete joy to see and be around Anael, Johnny, Christie, Rico to name but a few. The service begins with the children singing and leading worship. After much praise and worship, the children go out to Sunday school and for the third year in a row, Pastor Richard was given the privileged of sharing God's word with the congregation. This year from Romans.

Anael and Johnny joined some of the team for lunch back at staff housing and also picked out a few of the bags we had brought with us. Anael is working extremely hard in seminary. He has just finished his first year and has 3 more to go. He studies 15 days and then has 15 days back at the church. It was a true joy to spend some time with everyone we saw at church today.

During the afternoon the team visited Mike and Peggy Yost at their home in Belfate. It was an enjoyable and relaxing time for everyone and involved a short walk to the beach and the sea.

The day was concluded with a great visit with Lisa and her 8 foster boys. Lisa shared her story and how God is working to provide the space needed to home the boys. They are all street kids who have had they lives impacted by God through the ministry He has lead Lisa too. Everyone also joined in a time of praise and worship.
