Humility Leading to Unity
Hello everyone! My name is Ashley Ross. I am Justin’s better half and I am sure I have meet many of you reading this blog! I have the privilege of leading a women’s discipleship class in the Bordos ever Monday afternoon. We started meeting together back in the fall of 2009 with a group of […]
Love, Listen, and Encourage
This past week I was visiting a dear friend, whom I see regularly. She is such a precious and sweet girl and spending time with her has been such a blessing to me. Because of the language barrier, it has taken almost the whole time I’ve been in Honduras to actually get to know her. […]
God’s Mercy
Watching our families from the Bordos suffer and tear apart their houses this week was very hard. Feeling so hopeless and watching each of them struggle with where they are going to live has lead my earthly flesh to cry out and struggle with feelings of injustice with the government. But I cannot even begin […]
Become Vulnerable. And Learn
I read a great article the other day about learning from people in the margins of society. In the article the author uses the phrase, those on the margins, to describe people that essentially are not thought of with much importance or with much concern. Philosophically these are people of different races, economic standards, even […]
Restoring our Souls
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! “Non-Christians seem to think that the Incarnation implies some particular […]
He Stays The Same
Two weeks ago, the Sparrow Academy opened its doors to 85 students, with the desire to provide an opportunity for spiritual growth in the Lord and a better education with teachers that were trained to give them the best they deserve. Sounds like an awesome plan with nothing to worry about, right? Well, the truth […]
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 […]
