Sean's Week

How do you sum up an entire week of being in this beautiful country in one article? We have met so many incredible people who truly hunger and thirst for the Word. We have also been blessed with amazing translators who have truly made our week possible. God sent us servants who could help us communicate His message - we are truly grateful to Kevin, Marcia, Jose, and our very own Valerie Jackson. It was so great to sit back and see God break down our language barriers time and time again. He used the foolishness of man to get His message across. This has truly been an awe-inspiring week.

This is probably one of the most beautiful countries I have ever been to. Creation cries out to its creator in every corner of Honduras. There were many times I was just caught up in my surrounding so much that I forgot where I was.

We saw so much need as we were in many many villages this week. We have truly learned this week how much we take for granted and how very blessed we are. We were in impoverished surroundings all week and met many who were in great need. This country could most definitely benefit from any aid that could be given. We met so many people who struggle to feed their families and make ends meet, as well as some who struggle to have enough water to drink, cook with, or even wash clothes with.

As well as most mission trips, we suredly received the most blessings from this week, but I pray and hope that we were able, through Christ, to help meet some spiritual and physical needs.

The Honduran people have amazing hearts, and are very hard working people. They also love the Lord, and His work is being perfected in their hearts and lives, and the climate of many villages are changing for His name's sake. What an inspiring week to see faith in action and a people fully relying on God for His provision. I cannot wait to see what our Father will do next in Honduras and in the lives of the Chorti people. I was blessed to be able to see God work through our team and the servants He put in place.
