We Are All Called
Life can be tough. It is full of ups and downs, turns, and stops that require both feet on the brake pedal mashed to the floor. It is full of struggles and blessings. It is beautiful and full of promise. One of the things I struggled with early in my walk with Christ was my […]
Growing and Pruning
NOTE: The government of Honduras frowns upon American non-profits using the images and names of children living as orphans or in foster situations. As a result, we have chosen to use nicknames or initials to identify the beautiful little people living at our children’s home! Can you believe it is February of 2016, where has […]
Thank You!
“Are not five sparrows sold for two cents yet not ONE is forgotten by GOD” Luke 12:6. On behalf of our long-term missionaries, local Honduran staff, and short-term team members, I would like to personally say “Thank You” for your incredible support and commitment to those who are called by God to serve. Your support […]
Simply Seeking the Lord
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways…” I had read this verse so many times before, but it has been becoming much more real to me since moving to Honduras last July. I had expectations of time frames, of life in a different culture, and of speaking a different […]
Serving an Awesome God!
The last couple of months have definitely had their share of challenging and tough moments. Having two young brothers from our youth group pass away is really hard. But we have found peace in God, our Father, knowing that both boys were believers and we will meet them again in eternity. The experience has also […]
Seeing the Big Picture
Serving in Kentucky while the rest of our staff and missionaries are located in Honduras can be tough. It’s definitely not as physically tough as living and working in Honduras, but it’s the other type of tough. It’s hard to be stuck in an office on a Tuesday afternoon while I know our staff is […]
Where We Lack, He Provides
Tomorrow marks one year since Chris and I moved to Honduras. In some ways, I can’t believe it has already been a year. In other ways, it has felt so much longer. Reflecting back, I am so amazed at all that God has done in and through us. I could go on and on about all […]
Graduated One week. Married the Next. One-Way Flight to Honduras just after!
Pre-Season Conditioning
When I (Steve) played basketball in high school, there was always one phrase that struck fear in my heart. Pre-season conditioning. Usually the entire month of October was spent running, lifting weights, and spending large amounts of time doing repetitive drills. To say the least, it was not fun, but it always paid off for […]
In All Things….
As we approach the end of 2015, it is amazing to look back on all that has taken place in the life of the Sparrow Children’s Home in this eventful year. Our family moved here and opened the doors of the Home in February. We took in our first two babies shortly thereafter. By the […]
