HONDURAS 2013! by Tara Beauchamp
__
Joel and I are planning for our upcoming trip to Honduras in February, 2013. Yes, 10 months away and we are collecting items, praying, raising support and awareness about our next trip. However, there is one thing new about our trip that will effect everyone of you in our church.
This upcoming trip planned for is being sponsored and planned for our church. We know that everyone at Commerce First is involved in missions in every way possible from Wonderful Wednesday, Great Day of Service, Meals-on-Wheels, Prayer & Care, just to name a few. We want to take the next step in reaching people for the gospel and prepare for a church wide foreign mission trip.
We need everyone to help and though most of you might not be able to step on the plane and go to Honduras, your support and prayers are greatly needed. Our brother in Christ, Paul could not have gone to Macedonia or Thessalonica if it were not for the support and gifts of the Philippians. (Philippians 4:10-23) 'We are not seeking your gifts, but we seek the fruit that abounds to your account." 4:16 We do not go to Honduras to build new and improved homes or to teach vacation Bible school. We go to build the kingdom of God. Construction projects, crafts and vet clinics are just tools to sharing Jesus Christ with the people.
We need you to begin praying now for the following:
· 12-25 people to join our team, for God to prepare our hearts to serve. · For unity, harmony and a Christ centered love among the mission team members. · Pray for the hearts of the people in the village to receive God's word and the Holy Spirit · For an overflow of supplies for the trip · Prayer for safety and good health during the trip · Most of all please pray for Christ to be glorified in everything we do for this trip.
More details are to come, but it is never to early to start praying. We look forward to see how God is going to use each of you to share Christ with the people of Honduras. If you are interested in more information please join us for an informal meeting set for May 20th at 9:30a and 12:15p.
