God is at work in Honduras

God is doing incredible things in the country of Honduras! This is my second year going back to this beautiful place, and it is very exciting to be able to see the way that God has worked over the past year. We partnered up with a ministry called Mercy International, who have a passion for the Linka Indians in the Opalaca Mountain range. In order to reach the Linkas we first had to drive 4 hours up the mountains on very bad roads, then hike the rest of the way into the villages. The first village we went to was San Padrito, which is actually one of the villages we visited last year. It was amazing to see the difference in the people after only a year. Last year they stood on the outskirts and watched us. This year they interacted with us. The children would come right up and sit on our laps, and the leaders of the village played soccer or “fúbol” with us On the first day in that village we did a construction project and the owners of the house came to us and asked if we would pray with them. We lead their whole family to Christ that afternoon, it was incredible. While we were there we also held a VBS for the children and provided for their medical needs. I loved showing God’s love to them in practical ways. We then hiked for 4 hours to get to the second village of Agua Caliente. On the last night we held a church service inside one of the homes of a young Christian couple from the village. There were so many people there that it was standing room only, and there were people who had there heads in the windows and who were listening through the doors. The Mercy International staff remarked that it was very rare to see the number of men who were there. It was typically the women and the children who came to the services. We are praying that God is at work with the men in those villages, that they would come to see what it means to be a man of God. Changes are happening in Honduras. God is moving and working among the people and it has been incredible to be part of it.
