Dr. Dan Hayden visits MEDA in Siguatepeque, Honduras!

We are so blessed to have Dr. Dan Hayden come down from Orlando, Florida to personally teach us in a 3-day seminar on "The CENTRALITY of CHRIST in SCRIPTURE, Seeing the Bible as The LIVING WORD".  It was a marvelous conference even though we only had enough time to go through the New Testament.  I can hardly wait until the book comes out, sometime this Summer 2012!

Identified your gift yet?

Some have the gift of teaching; some have the gift of preaching, and so on.  Our gifts, as so many of you have, in one form or another is the gift of serving. We have found our greatest pleasure knowing that we wake each morning ready to serve the LORD.  Our mistake was in trying to plan our service to the Lord a day or two in advance.  We have learned to ask HIM what HE has planned for us to do today.  With this approach, we have less stress and anxiety. Philippians4:6  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”      For example, the other day, Rhich had just backed the mower out of the bodega (Spanish word for garage) with the intention of mowing, when Mark approached him and said that the LORD had other plans for us today.  A fellow brother in Christ had an emergency at his house.  The prior night’s rainfall had washed away his parking pad for his car and his car had fallen half way down a 15 foot embankment. Rhich was at peace with the change in plans knowing the LORD is in charge and in control. It’s nice to have plans for the future, but remember what the LORD told the farmer who decided to build new barns for his over-abundance of crops.  (Luke 12:18-20).  It would be wise to make your plans God glorifying and edifying to others as you execute your gift of service.  Trust in HIS word found in Jer29:11  For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.   (ESV).

Back Home

After a wonderful retreat at the Valle de las Angels, it's time to get back to work

I know that the LORD is great, that our God is greater than all gods. Psalm 135:5

Back home in Siguatepeque

We had a wonderful visit in El Salvador with new friends. We only planned to stay for just the weekend, but had car troubles about an hour inside the El Salvador border.

We were indeed blessed to have our friend Geraldo's brother-in-law, Stanley, come pick us up. Thank-you, GOD!!!!

The city of San Salvador is very clean and is somewhat modeled after the city of Miami, Florida. Downtown has big shopping malls with modern parking garages that have elevators. All in all, it was a great visit, especially with our new friends.

Noah's Baptism

Noah’s baptism was yesterday and it was so endearing to hear his testimony.

We had a large crowd from church to witness his proclamation.
