Honduras day 3

Well today we arrived in the village there were so many things that happened. Of course we did the construction installing concrete floors in bedrooms. There was an instant connection between our team of 5 and the locals. Very overwhelmed now ….. Maybe post something later when I get home.

Honduras Day 1

So now I have been awake for 30 hours. I’m on the plane on our way to tegucigalpa. I can’t sleep on the plane but my head is spinning with lack of sleep. I’m totally excited I can’t wait to get to the ranch so I can take a breath. I love travelling but I hate the process getting there. Says a lot I guess. Well now I am listening to a message from Matt Chandler. I’m going to try to sleep but I’m not sure what is going to happen……

I’ve Heard His Voice…..But

John 3:28-30 (ESV)

28.You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him. 29.The one who has the bride is the bridegroom.  The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.  30He must increase, but I must decrease.

This is John the baptizer proclaiming the arrival of Christ and describes Him as the bridegroom.  John explains after hearing the “voice” of Jesus his joy is now complete. After reading this last night in the wee hours of the morning it hit me why is it that I’ve heard His voice, but I still chase things to increase my joy?  It’s verse 30 that I am struggling with.  I am trying to increase Christ and increase myself at the same time. Apparently its not working, since God kept me up all night reading this….. I think I got the message….

What is The Church

I never heard it put into words, but I had somewhat of a working definition of what the church is.  I am reading Mark Driscoll’s “Vintage Church” and I think this is the most descriptive and precise definition of The Church.  It reads as:

“The local church is a community of regenerated believers who confess Jesus Christ as Lord.  In obedience to Scripture they organize under qualified leadership, gather regularly for preaching and worship, observe the biblical sacraments of baptism and communion, are unified by the Spirit, are disciplined for holiness, and scatter to fulfill the Great Commandment and the Great Commission as missionaries to the world for God’s glory and their joy.”

I’m Going Back

It seems like just yesterday that I stepped off the plane in a whole new world.  It’s official I’m going back to Honduras.  All the emotions are flooding back from last year.  I can’t put into words what it will be like to see all the people from the village of Dos Rios.  We are taking a much larger team this year so it will be interesting to see how that pans out.  I’m curious how it will be to see all the new team member’s faces when the overwhelming feelings come rushing in.  This time Seree will be coming with me.  I am excited for her to experience what I did last year.  Now I will not have to try and explain it to her she will know exactly what I am feeling.  I am counting down the days until I get there…..
