I am heading back to Honduras, this time not just for a few days or even a few weeks but for 6 months.. Thats right! When I left Honduras in February I had a peace about leaving because I knew I would be going back again. I did not know what that looked like or when it would happen but I knew I would go back. I have been waiting for the opportunity to go to honduras for a longer term time since I left there in November of 2010. Its just crazy how the Lord places these things on your heart and then the opportunity comes up to be involved in something so amazing as God’s Kingdom.
This past weekend I asked the Lord for some confirmation about moving, I wanted to make sure it was the right plan for my future so I called my mom. My mom tends to get nervous when I travel outside of the country but she was wondering about Honduras and what was happening there. As we talked she asked me a lot of questions, then came the big one “so what are you going to do?” I just wanted to cry, this is a scary huge decisions moving out of the country but I told her “I think I am going” and she told me she agreed. That to me was a huge sign that this is from the Lord, my mother told me she would be ok with me moving to Honduras. If you know my mom, you would know thats a big deal (sorry mom but its true).
I still wanted a little bit more of a sign, so the Lord provided. On Sunday I was at church listening to the pastor and the sermon was titled “get off the couch” I wont get into to much detail but the Lord really meet me there. At the beging of the service I filled out a little prayer card saying “I think the Lord is calling me to Honduras and I don’t know what to do.” Then during the service it felt like the pastor was speaking to me. He was talking about serving the Lord, getting out of your comfort zone, stepping into new things, getting off the couch. That really hit me, staying with my job in Encounter would have its challenges but it would be comfortable. Going to Honduras is scary, exciting, different, wonderful, challenging, and most certainly getting off my couch.
So let me share with you a little of what I will be doing in Honduras!
– I will be serving as the mobilization coordinator, doing all things set up for Honduras. So I will be in charge of doing set up for World Race and Passport teams coming through Honduras. ( This year they have had teams for 7 months so far this year.)
– I will also be participating in the discipleship of nationals as well as incoming teams.
-I will be creating a missions trip for national to participate in both short term and long term.
– We are hoping to get a team together that will assist in the assembly of an Adventures long term base that will be a sending and receiving base.
Thats only a little of what I will be doing while in Honduras. I am so excited for this amazing gift that the Lord has blessed me with. I get to return to Honduras, one of my favorite places in the world. The Lord really knows my heart, He knows that this is a huge step for me but it is exactly where I need to be, doing exactly what I need to be doing.
Would you consider partnering with me in this Adventure?
– Share the story, God is doing big things, share what He is doing in your life and in the world with those around you.
– Prayer, Please pray that the Lord continues to lead the way in the transition to Honduras and for the kids down there. Also be praying that the Lord will touch my mouth, I don’t currently speak a lot of Spanish, although I am working on it this is a huge deal and a big tool in effective ministry.
-Support. I need to raise $5,500 by January 1st. That money will cover all my cost for 6 months in Honduras. Please consider being a monthly supporter or using this as an opportunity to do something different for Christmas.
I know that the Lord has amazing plans in all of this and I hope that you get to be a part of it.
