On Sunday, June 14 the Missions ministry of Crossings Community Church will be returning to Pena Blanca, Honduras. Once again we will be meeting the needs of the under resourced and meeting physical and spiritual needs in the name of Jesus. For this trip we have 19 participants and while the projects are basically the same - a medical clinic and construction - the details will be a little bit different.
For example, on our previous trip to Pena Blanca we built two homes for widows, put a new roof on Pastor Terencio's house and made some minor modifications to the church building. This time we are going to be adding a second story to the Pena de Horeb church. Sounds like fun.
Our medical clinic will be different as well. Rather than being centrally located for the bulk of the trip our clinic will now be mobile. We will be in a different community each of the four days that we operate the clinic. We have also combined our children's activities with the clinic focusing our attention on those children who are coming with their families to the clinic. It is bound to be rowdy, raucous and rewarding. I can hardly wait!
Please join us in prayer as we go to Honduras. Our team covets your prayers. Pray for the people of Pena Blanca who are still dealing with the aftermath of two earthquakes within the last two weeks. Pray for safety and problem-free travel for our team. Pray that each of us will be singularly focused on loving everyone we meet, treat and serve with the unconditional love of the Savior. Also, please pray for the families that we leave behind. Though we will only be gone for a week the time apart can be trying for some.
As you pray, maybe it is time for you to ask God where you should be serving. It can be locally or it can be globally. Opportunities to share in Kingdom growth endeavors are plentiful. There is nothing glitzy or glamorous about serving others, whether in downtown OKC or in Honduras. It's all about being obedient to the command of Christ to love others and to share with them the Bread of Life.
Soli Deo gloria,
Michael
