Honduras: Day 4 and Redirection
















In an act of humility or self-doubt (Bruce Williford told me her's is better) :) I want to redirect you to Kristen Peterson's blog. Kristen is one of the student ministries connection group teachers, U*Staffers and fellow Honduran traveler. She is a great writer and lover of Kingdom things.


Tomorrow we will be giving away the basketball goals that OUR children raised money for at VBS. The hope was to raise $440 for the basketball goals...JVBC children raised $780! They are not physically with us in Honduras but they will be here. We'll take pictures!

Picture 1: I wish you could see these students playing, laughing and crossing communication barriers with a silly game. It is wonderful!
Picture 2: Lunch...Don Ross dared me to post this picture. I'm not one to turn down a dare. :) Don't be fooled...it was REALLY good but messy. Honduran Chipotle!

Pictures engrained in my mind...
(1.) Watching Ellen Wiles feed a special needs/orphan child who has to lay down on the bed 24 hours a day. Ellen can make her laugh OUT LOUD! Today she took her from tears of hunger to joy-full laughter! One of the coolest moments.
(2.) Allowing students to interact with some of the worlds greatest needs and listening to some of the worlds greatest questions surface.
(3.) Lives changing...
(4.) Allowing ourselves to redirect our attention, questions and aim on the Kingdom.
(5.) Watching you be amazed at Kristen's blog...GO CHECK IT OUT!

Blessings to you, your family and our church.

Peace to you,
Scott
