Jesus es poderoso!

Today, God opened my eyes to His powerful spirit. As Melissa and I prepared the Sunday school lesson, we had no idea that it would hit home with us, too. “Jesus is Powerful”.

Here in Tegucigalpa, many of the churches have two sides full of chairs. One side is for the children while the other is for the adults. I have yet to understand all the details of this, but the most important reason is for when the children are dismissed for their children’s worship during the adult worship.

When I first arrived at the church, there were five members present. Slowly, the church began to fill. I watched as the two sides began to bulge as we continually added chairs. When the kids left for worship, the adult side was full (30) with about 4 standing while the side for the children (approx. 55) had surpassed “packed” as we had already wrapped chairs around that were recently added.

Before we dismissed the kids for worship, I began to reminisce of the days when I first visited the Mololoa church of Christ. Back in January, the Kluges invited me to worship with them in a church they had been involved with since November of the previous year. I was shocked when I saw that the adults consisted of the preacher, his wife, the student-preacher from Baxter, his wife, two sisters, and one married couple—a total of four families with two of them working for the church.

How POWERFUL is God, who can bring this church family through all the muck that it has gone through in the past 2 years. This church was hurting and broken when I first arrived there. Then, it slowly began to heal and was crushed, again.

So recently, the Kluges and I have fought the devil hard to show Jesus to this community and church. The Lord has given us an incredible amount of patience, wisdom, and strength for the daily walk. Please continue to pray for the endurance of this church and for God’s healing touch.

Love ya,
