The Third Week in Honduras

Yeah, so God had us meet some AMAZING people from Chatanooga, Tennessee. They came down to Honduras with their youth group, and I was totally jealous because I wished my youth group was there too! They were an increadible group of people that are in love with Jesus. Haley, Mandy and I joined them in visiting the poorest of the poor in a place called Cerro Grande. (Big Hill in Spanish.) The director of this ministry told us how the vision for the ministry was started in 1998 because of Hurricane Mitch. That was one of the most devastating hurricanes ever to hit Honduras. Around 14,000 people died. There were massive holes dug in the ground, and many bodies put in trash bags and just thrown in there. It was like a massive grave. So, God gave him Isaiah 4:6; and there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a cover from storm and from rain.So, that led him to rent out a farm for $500 a month! God opened the doors, and donations came pouring in! He was able to build up a school and house for the street kids of Honduras. This is just a house for boys. They provide food, school, clothes, and more importantly, they provide them with a clear picture of the love of Christ. Each one of us three got SUPER attatched with the youth group, we felt like they were our youth group. We exchanged e-mail, and phone #s, and were really bummed when they left today. Yeah, it has been an AMAZING week! I am blown away by how these people respond to salvation. I gotta go, so I will blog later. BYE GUYS!!!!! WE ALL MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! WE WILL BE HOME SOON!!!
