We have been where we have never been before. We have walked were
we have never walked before, and we are not thru yet. I am not
talking about physical places. We are not the only team that God
has ever sent on a mission trip, but our trip was “ A God
Thing”.
The Lord said, “You will need prayer warriors.” Each
team member in the weeks before the trip made a list of people’s
names that said they would be prayer warriors for them. They brought
the lists on the trip and I carried them with us every place we
went.
Day 1 Saturday: Two members were almost left at the Houston Airport,
but the Lord wanted all of us in Yorito. One of the member’s
suitcases was lost, but the Lord provided.
Day 2 Sunday: We arrive in Yorito. Sunday School is the only service
they have on Sunday mornings. We asked if there could be more.
Brother Ron Gilbreath, Sister Eleanor, and the local pastor preached.
We had a foot washing ceremony and communion also. This was an
AWESOME BLESSING!! The service lasted two hours and forty-five
minutes. “It Was A God Thing” this morning. We attended
Marco Tuleo’s church that night in Yoro with Brother Ron
preaching again. The service lasted two and a half hours. We certainly
had church today. Thanks Lord.
Day 3 Monday: Rebecca scouts out Yorito for information (refer
back to her emails). We put on a Vacation Bible School at 2:00
pm. We did not bring any material for V.B.S. The Lord provided.
We began installing the lights in the church in Yorito, and the
insulation in the ceiling in the new mission house.
Day 4 Tuesday: V.B.S. continued at 2:00 pm. The ladies did a great
job. We continued with the lights, wiring, and insulation. Rebecca
stayed with Sister Eleanor in Yorito and they had church service
that night. That was a God thing. Some of the team was ill. The
others attended Marco Tuleo’s church once again. Marco preached.
Day 5 Wednesday: V.B.S. continued at 2:00 pm. We began to
do small jobs in Yorito’s mission house and church. We walked
the streets of Yorito and did much fellowshipping.
Day 6 Thursday: We built two crosses. We received a major blessing
by taking turns walking one of the crosses up and down the streets
thru the town of Yorito. We then put the cross up at the mission
house for everyone to see. This was awesome Dear Lord. The second
cross was put up on the side of a steep hill by some of the team
members. Beautiful! They did a great job. This was the last day
of V. B. S.
Day 7 Friday: We told everyone in Yorito goodbye, and what a wonderful
time we had. We told them that our Honduras friends blessed us
by allowing us to come and fellowship with them in their country
and their homes. We then headed to San Pedro Sula. It was very
hot there.
Day 8 Saturday: This was our off day. We were free to do our own
thing. That night several of us walk the streets and handed out
Spanish Bibles to “The Ladies of the Night.” Our interpreters
then witness to them. Awesome time.
Day 9 Sunday: We arrive back in the United States. What a
welcome committee we had waiting for us. This trip was a “God
Thing”.
“Lord we thank you for allowing us to
be a part of this blessing”.
