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 […]
It Was Worship
“Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man.” Recently in San Pedro Sula, Sparrow had the opportunity to start an English language training program for fifteen of the older youth and a few adults from the Bordos community. They have recognized that learning English can give them […]
The Value of Short-Term Missions
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8 (NIV) The title of this blog entry seems to spark debate from different folks (most of whom have way more education than me) in articles I have read […]
Ready Set……Wait
Sometimes God says wait. Wait for My timing and just trust. This past week I have been getting settled into San Pedro Sula, finding my way around the city and….waiting. When I finished language school, I was so excited to get to San Pedro and actually get started doing what we had planned to do. […]
Until Later
Almost two weeks ago, we learned that on one our strongest youth boys, named Franklin, had passed away. I can’t really describe in words the pain I felt. Franklin was a responsible and hardworking young man, who was a believer and incredible brother in Christ to those around him and his younger siblings (5 total!). […]
