Honduras 2010, Day 4

Happy Birthday, Jessica Alexander! What a way to spend your 16th birthday...I pray it has been a day you will never forget and that you will continue to serve Christ in the years to come and that you will grow steadily in your walk with Him!Today we were scheduled to share in the town of Ajuterique. The mayor had invited us back the last time we were here and had scheduled for all the schools and many others to meet with us at the town square. For the past several days, he hasn't returned the calls of our coordinator, and when we arrived there was no one gathered. It was somewhat disappointing, but we just prayed and got to work. We played soccer with the children and made balloon animals to attract a crowd. When we were making the balloon animals, the children literally began pushing and pressing in on us. It brought to mind the scripture where the crowd was pressing Jesus, yet he saw the needs and lovingly met them. We're told in scripture that when he saw the crowds he had compassion on them. As best we could, we tried to love the people and meet their needs as overwhelming as the task appeared. By the end of the day, 6 people accepted Christ as Savior, and we had given out between 200-300 tracts! God truly blessed our efforts and answered our prayers!This afternoon we went to a church here in Comayagua where we did our program for the children and their families. They were absolutely precious children! After our presentation, we found out that the church was relocating! How neat, seeing as we have just completed a relocation with our church. We were able to travel with a few of the church members and their children to see the new church site, prayer walk it, and then pray with them. Also, Zachary was able to give a trombone to the church. They were so blessed and said that instruments are very expensive here. He said that he would begin praying for someone to develop a talent to play it in their church.
