Let Worldly Minds the World Pursue
In the big city of San Pedro Sula, Honduras, there is a fourteen-year-old girl named Stefany. Stefany gets moved from orphanage to orphanage and really has nowhere to call her home. Many of you have visited a place called Las Casitas, and if you have— you know the conditions where Stefany lives are horrendous. Near […]
He Establishes
“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps” Proverbs 16:9 Being new to the Sparrow family, I had a lot to learn. What all does Sparrow really do? What is the Bordos? Why does everyone love Wendy? What is a Baleada? The process of joining the Sparrow family was a whirlwind […]
Being Content.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 We can all probably agree that this is one of the most frequently quoted verses from the Bible. We’ve all probably seen this verse once or twice, maybe on a bumper sticker or even framed and hung up in your own house. Don’t […]
Joyful, Patient, and Faithful
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer” – Romans 12:12 This verse in Romans was consistently on my mind throughout the past summer as I served with Sparrow Missions. It was a verse that challenged me immediately when our summer staff read it as a group during a bible study. But I […]
Pieces No More.
NOTE: During the months of September and October we are excited to have our summer staff missionaries take over the staff blog! Many of you have served with or been served by our summer staff and God has used each of them in tremendous ways! We are blessed to have partnered with them! “How was […]
His Way is Perfect
His way is perfect. When He says yes, when He says no, and when He says wait, when we can see what He’s doing and when we don’t understand. A few weeks ago, Lesbi and I taught a lesson on Jeremiah 32 in one of our discipleship classes. In our discussion, something one of the […]
Discipleship, Soccer & Growth
I can’t begin to describe how grateful I am to God every day for the ministry he has given me in the bordos with the youth boys. I have seen them grow for the past four years and God is doing wonderful things in their lives. I have seen the boys dreaming about a future, […]
The Light of the World
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” – John 8:12 One thing I wasn’t aware of before moving to Honduras is the fact that it’s very common that the electricity go at least once a week. And […]
The Lord Establishes Our steps
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares The Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and future.” — Jeremiah 29:11 The funny, but not always fun, thing about following God is that even when you think you have your plans in order, He […]
Rest.
I’m learning a lot about this 4 letter word these days. I thought rest was something you did while sick. When your body clearly can’t handle life’s normal threshold of stressors because of a fever or a broken bone, you rest to regain your strength. Or, rest is something you plan out in advance. Like […]
