World Communion Sunday



It’s been a wild week, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to talk about Honduras. This last Sunday we celebrated World Communion Sunday not just by remembering all those Christians around the world that took of The Lord’s Supper with us, but also by hearing about how disciples are being made in Honduras. Greg Dawes shared about our history with Honduras. He shared about the 2 mission trips those from our congregation went on 7 or so years ago. Mike Hodupp then shared with us about how the work we partnered in then has continued to grow.

For me, the most powerful thing he shared was about two Lenca men who were only children when we started investing in a meal program in their area. These two men recently made a commitment to Jesus and being his disciple! Praise God! It is amazing how something as simple as a meal almost a decade ago has changed God’s kingdom for eternity.

Mike also shared with us the need for volunteers to serve this spring in mission in Honduras and we are just at the beginning steps of planning a team. I can’t help but wonder: What will God do with this team? Will he produce disciples...maybe not this spring…maybe years from now from the ministry that will happen? I want to encourage you to continue to pray for Honduras. Continue to pray for those God has called to step out in mission.

We have a special opportunity on October 18th at 10 am to meet with Pastor Jorge from Honduras. He will be meeting with us at our church here in La Fontaine, and I encourage you to come and hear more about what God is doing in Honduras.
