It was a day of praise as we welcomed Pastor Jorge into our
midst on Saturday morning. We heard about the new disciples being made among
the Lenca people and how God is using the church to find short term and long
term solutions to the poverty they face. We talked about a potential visit to
Honduras in the spring as well and what we may be doing there. I even got to
become “friends” with Pastor Jorge on Facebook.
The most moving part of our visit was to hear Pastor Jorge
share how our Honduras brothers and sisters have been praying for La Fontaine
UMC through its rough times and are praising God for our renewed sense of
mission and hope. The reason this was so powerful is because it points to our
partnership with the church in Honduras. The giving and receiving is not in
only one direction. When they are in need, we reach out them and when we are in
need, they reach out to us. There is something deeply powerful and humbling in
knowing that God’s church across borders has been praying for US. Perhaps that
is why we are still here.
