Sunday in Honduras

Well today started with church.  Great time of worship songs first, then our team had 45 mins together and then back to the church sanctuary for a sermon completely in espanol with no translator.  Interesting to observe anyway.  Our time of worship together as a team was a bit a music from DC*B and some sharing of what we are learning from our time in the Bible each day.  No surprise those of us that shared are learning the same thing.  Love it.  I shared that I read this morning in Isaiah 58 about the people telling God about how they have fasted and to God they seem eager to draw near to Him, but He says they are doing it all wrong and that’s not the kind of service or heart He is looking for.  Their fasting ends in fights and quarrling and it’s all basically a show they put on.  But in verse 6 God tells them what kind of heart He’s looking for.  What really jumped out a me was verse 10.

10 and if you spend  yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness…NIV

The idea of spending yourself, denying self and giving yourself away are what Christ has taught His followers.   I shared with our team about the rewarding and fullfilling  feeling  when you as a team start the day early and go all day just giving and serving others and at the end of that hard day looking back at what God has accomplished through you, it’s just strengthens your relationship and love with God and with your team. 

So musch happened today -I only have time to share one thing…

Today was about 100 degrees and we were suprised to have a large group as we were told when it gets this hot the boys stay in their rooms until about 4 pm.   The bball camp started at 1pm so it was a bit rough as there was no cloud cover.  The boys had a great time though.  We ended the session with a quick cheer that we came up with during our devotional time.  I had asked Travis as to what the right phrase would be to “talk” to the boys about Christ and what He means to them.  He said something as simple as ?Accepto Jesus Christo?  ?Jesus Christo numero uno? (pointing to your heart).  So that became our session ending cheer in a huddle. 

Jesus Christo  numero uno!……si
