As I’m writing this, we’ve been awake since 1am local time. It’s now 8pm and we just got back to our hotel to settle in for the night. It amazes me that this morning I was slepping in Detroit and tonight I lay my head down in Central America. It’s been a whirlwind of a day in traveling. Here are a few highlights:
- Made it through customs in Tegucigalpa to step out on the street in a completely unfamilar culture. It all seemed overwhelming at first, but the GCLA team gave us a warm welcome.
- From the airport, we began out 3 hour bus ride to Choluteca. There was so much to see and smell. This included a pit stop at a small zoo with some of the native animals to Honduras.
- The day ended with joining the Great Commission Church with worship and a powerful message about Jonah.
- But, by far this trip came to awe-striking reality when we were able to meet in person the mother and 1 of her sons (Franklin) that we are building a new home for this week. Elevate Church raised the money to build them this home and we are honored and humbled to be part of what God is doing.
