Headed to Honduras

Missing a few members of the team, but it's the first picture of many!

Tomorrow morning our team of 16 will meet at the International Terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson, where we will spend a few hours waiting in anticipation board our plane and soar across the Caribbean.  A few hours later we will land in Tegucigalpa.

We have made our own plans regarding our week will be spent in Honduras, including Vacation Bible School and some construction projects, but excitement fills my mind as I think about what God's got in store, because His plans always  surpass our own.  It is very possible that our plans will be dismissed by His, so we've been praying for open hearts and minds, for patience and understanding as we embrace a new culture and new friendships.

In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commands us, "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of time."

God has called and provided the way for the 16 of us in our group to spend a week in Honduras.  To be the hands and feet of Jesus. To love the people as He would.

Please pray for us as we travel.  Pray that the Hondurans have open hearts to us as we meet them. That they will be able to see Christ in our words and actions.  Pray that their hearts, and ours as well, will experience God in new, extraordinary ways.

Thank you for your support!  We'll update each night with stories from the day!
