Honduras

What a great week of missions with the DCA students on the Honduras Mission trip. We partnered with Cristo Salva, a ministry of encouragement to the Honduran people, and ministered in a number of different ways. As usual, I came back more blessed than we were probably able to bless those there.

Thirteen students, along with Kristen Folsom, and myself departed last Monday and returned late Friday night. It was a quick trip filled with food distribution, visits to schools, home visits, and services in the evenings. Hondurans meet at the church nightly to worship. The worship experiences were led by DCA students and God did some wonderful things to encourage the Honduran believers.

Pastor Ray Marcos and Pat Havender hosted us via Cristo Salva and did a wonderful job of coordinating the many ministry activities we were involved in. I was chief truck driver and all around coordinator of packing and changing the flat tire. Coordinator is the operative word. The male students did a wonderful job of actually carrying off the packing and tire changing. The students did a great job of ministry with the people of Honduras. I am so thrilled that there are students who "get it" when it comes to ministry and are willing to jump in and do whatever is needed. It was fun for me to not have an official up front role this week. Many times on these trips I am the lead so just being there and doing whatever was very refreshing for a change.

On another note, my NCAA basketball bracket is totally blown up and the only thing that would make it worse is if Duke were to win the national championship. It has been fun to see some of the "underdogs" pull off some stunning victories. Bad for the bracket, but good for the game of basketball.
