In Honduras by Mark

It has been another great experience in Honduras. This is my first time to be involved with a medical mission trip. Today, we were in one of the same villages we prayer walked in March. What a blessing  to get to see people that we prayed for just a few months ago.  My job this week has been crowd control. After the villagers are registered they are directed to a waiting area where they were told Bible stories or heard testimonies from various team members. The next stop was to hear Pastor Elias share the gospel with them. I couldn't understand everything he said, but I caught enough to know they heard sound doctrine as he presented the plan of salvation to them. Following the presentation, I marked their registration card so the triage team would know they were ready to see the doctors.  Even though every person heard two gospel presentations, we have not been aware of any decisions. As with the other trips, it seems that our job is to plant seeds rather than harvest. One advantage of making multiple trips is that we often get to see evidence of how the Spirit continues to work long after we are gone. A good example was being able to attend a new Bible study on Saturday morning in a village. The study is led by Edguardo and continues to grow. I'm certain that in time a leader will come forward to take it over and allow Edguardo to begin studies in additional villages. We witnessed another example on Sunday when we heard a passionate sermon by one of the men of the church at Otutu.  We continue to pray and expect God to continue to call Honduran pastors to expand this mission project.  Thank you for your prayers and support of our team and the mission efforts in Honduras.
