Mission Trip Honduras 2011

Matthew 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

That is the verse that we were sent off with on a 7 hour flight to San Pedro Sula Honduras Central America from there we took a drive that seemed like forever to La Esperanza a little town in Honduras to a church where the pastor there was larger than life and had one mission bring Christianity to a town that turned there back on Jesus. The church they began with was a little put together church that was the size of a medium sized bed. We had two weeks to build a church a size of a studio apartment. During my time in Honduras i learned that even though I couldn't speak Spanish I was still able to communicate with them funny how an ok gesture goes a long way. One of the things that surprised me is that everyone you met was really happy you think that someone who lives in a small house would be miserable but everyone I met was really happy it just taught you that you don't need all the fancy things like 90 inch tv's and the best cars to be truly happy it's the smallest things in life that make you happen. When we finished the church we had an opening for it we walked around town and handed out flyers and invited people to come that night we had 50+ people show up the biggest the pastor ever had and that night 15 people accepted Jesus Christ as there lord and savior. Like I said the mission was a life changer it gave me a different look on life and to appreciate what you have and that the little things in life is all that matters and that all things are possible with GOD.
