uly 6th
I hope you all are doing well on this wonderful day the Lord
has blessed us with!! Today was very
enjoyable for the group. It was a time
of fellowship, and worship with the team and with our brethren in
Honduras!! This morning we had pancakes,
fruit and cereal for breakfast. After
breakfast, we said our good byes to Katie G., who headed back to the states,
then loaded the buses to go to Mi Esperanza for the first leg of shopping. For the past several years, TORCH groups go
to Mi Esperanza to purchase items the women make. Mi Esperanza is a great ministry for the
women in Honduras. I can never give the
story justice, so please check out www.thewomenofmyhope.org
for more information. We spent about an
hour and a half at Mi Esperanza supporting the women by our multiple
purchases. Once everyone had finished,
we loaded the bus to make our way to the Valley of Angels to eat lunch and
continue shopping. Many of us ate
Papusas in the Valley, which were very yummy.
Others had tacos and an assortment of different meats. Several of the members also purchased ice
cream and coffee for dessert. We stayed
in the Valley for about two hours before making our way to the village we
worshipped with today. I would love to
tell you the name of the village, but I can’t spell it, but if I get the
spelling of it I will let you all know. Before
I tell you about the worship service, I want to share with you how the church
was started in this particular village.
If any of you have been to Honduras with TORCH, you are all probably
familiar with Los Pinos community. The
church in Los Pinos have been evangelizing to the community we worshipped with
today. They go every Saturday and knock
doors to spread the gospel. They get up
early and walk 10 kilometers over steep hills (mini mountains) to share Jesus
with those in need. This is so exciting
because it is showing the maturity that is developing in the church of Los
Pinos. Worship was in both English and
Spanish today. Timoteo would lead a song
in Spanish, followed by Tim Hines leading a song in English. Terry Reeves gave the lesson today with Tim
translating for him. Terry’s lesson was from Acts 10 regarding the conversion
of Cornelius. After the lesson, six came
forward requesting to be baptized. After
the worship service, we went outside and all six were baptized. Please pray for
our new brothers and sisters in Christ.
Once we welcomed our new brothers and sisters, we said our good-byes and
made our way back to the Mission House for dinner. For dinner tonight we had Taco Locos!! Oh my, the tacos were A-MAZ-ING!!!!! At around 8pm we made our way to the chapel
for devo. Tonight Eric began by asking the parents if they would rather
sacrifice and get the best present or be obedient. He then tied that into how God would rather
us be Obeisant rather than to sacrifice.
He went on to explain that our sacrifice is our abidance. After
devo, we got our nightly announcements from Tyler Steffy and made our way back
to our rooms for bed.
Thank you all for your continued prays and please remembers
to pray for our new brothers and sisters.
We love you all very much and will see you soon.
Good night to you all
Brandy B
