Trinity Baptist in Honduras

We have so much to be thankful for :) Most of all, for God breaking the back of the evil one and giving us life. His power lit us up this week. This team carried the truth of Jesus victory into unknown places with boldness. One person led to another. Some closed the door in our face. Others welcomed us into their homes. Some refused God´s free gift of salvation and others recieved it. We know that some sow seeds and others reap the harvest. God used this team to do both.

At the dump....
We got hit with anxiety and fear yesterday, before going into the dump. We went anyway and God took care of us. It rained and we got wet, but we had a hot shower waiting at home. They didn´t. But thanks to this team and all of those that raised money for their feeding, hundreds of hot meals were handed to the least of these. The local church, La Cosecha de Jesus, is effectively using the newly renovated commercial kitchen for this ministry. Thanks to all who contributed to this development project.

The local church brings some tambourines and sings praise songs with the people. A crowd of 50 or so assembled in a circle as we praised teh Lord together. For a few moments, while we were singing, there were no boundaries - no us and them. They were just like me and I like them, although our outside appearances said differently. It was a glimpse through God´s eyes that I hope no attitude, prejudice, or misconception will ever steal away.

Speaking of stealing..
The Bible says Satan steals, kills, and destroys. I beleive that. It also says, he is the father of lies. I believe that too. Up to this point, I´ve given him a lot of respect, seeing him as omniscient. But these mission trips really take off the camouflage of our big bad enemy and reveal his limits. I don´t believe he can read minds anymore. Look it up and let me know if you see it differently. Also, I usually associate Satan with a powerful prescence of evil, but when we saw him in action this week, distracting our efforts during door to door evangelism especially, I realized he´s more like a pestering prescence than a powerful one. I look forward to ignoring his lies, abiding in the Holy Spirit, and resting on the fact that Satan´s authority is a lot of smoke and mirrors.

God bless you and yours. This week has been awesome. We hope you join in soon!
