A Good, Good Father
I just got back from “Revive” a conference for women missionaries living here in Honduras. We sang a Chris Tomlin song that I really love entitled, “Good, Good Father”. Please read the lyrics below, maybe even click here and let God speak to you through this song. Good Good Father by Chris Tomlin I’ve heard a […]
Unhurried Time With God
I rarely go to the States. It’s not that I try to avoid traveling or going up north. It’s not fear of the cold. (I haven’t worn a jacket in years) But Honduras is home. I love being with my wife and our twins. I’m energized daily by the mission God has given us here. […]
Giving Up Control
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those that are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV I was really excited when the summer staff was asked to contribute to the staff blog. Putting pen to paper (or in my case, fingers to a keyboard) […]
Changing of a Perspective
Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name. – Psalms 18:49 God never ceases to amaze me on how He can take a sinner like me and manage to bring Him glory through different circumstances. This summer was life changing to say the least. Preparing to […]
Broken and Whole
This 8-week summer in Honduras was my first time in this tiny country, it was my first time working with Sparrow Missions, and it was actually my first time working in international missions in any capacity. I believe this is called a ‘baptism by fire.’ Before I go into how this summer has affected me, let […]
To Your Name Give Glory
Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! –Psalm 115:1 I was actually at a friend’s house for a bonfire the other night and he asked me about Honduras and what I learned. My six weeks in Honduras were […]
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 […]
