Honduras Team 1 - Day 2

Honduras Team 1 Day 2

We started our morning at the missionaries’ house with a scrumptious breakfast and a devotional. We then headed to the Mayan Ruins for a tour. Our tour gave the team a better understanding of the history of the Chorti Indians. The Chorti are direct descendants of the Mayans. The Mayans believed in many gods – the Sun God, the Moon God, the Creation God, just to name a few. The also believed in 13 layers of heaven and the underworld. At the Ruins, we saw some Macaws which are the national bird of Honduras and beautiful vegetation.

This afternoon we went to the village of Las Brisas de Valle. There is a bible study in the village every Sunday afternoon. The churches in town and in the villages do not meet on Sunday morning for worship. The men work 7 days a week out in the fields so most services are in the late afternoon and evening. We had quite a hike because the roads were too muddy to drive into the village. We got to walk over a swinging bridge – that was a walk by faith for me!!

We joined Chris and Stacey Zeigler who are also missionaries in Honduras at this bible study. One of the Chorti men led the bible study. Chris told our team that we had witnessed a miracle. After many, many years of missionary work in Honduras, it is sooooooooooooo exciting to see leaders in the villages become believers and then are willing to passionately share the word of God. Please pray specifically for this village and the men leading the bible study.

We get to lead in a village tomorrow!!! We will go to the village of El Zapote in the morning. We will play with the children, tell Bible stories, and pray with the people. Please pray for our team as we share God’s word with the people in this village.

Internet service comes and goes with the rain here! I am able to post text but have not been successful in uploading pictures yet. I will keep trying!

Thank you for your prayers!
