A Day in the Park

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us." - 2 Corinthians 4:7

I had a really blessed day today. I went to a place called Ecoparque with my good friend Michael and the guys from his ministry. What a beautiful day! Although the clouds surrounding the area threatened rain, we had perfect sunny weather the entire time! I watched the guys play in the pool while talking with Becca, the assistant director of the Project. We had a delicious lunch of chicken and rice, and then walked around the grounds of the park. The park has so much to do! Some of the boys rented bicycles, rode horses, went swimming, played frisbee, played soccer, and could have used a cool zipline!

Although I usually use this blog to talk about my ministry, I want to share a little bit about the Micah Project. They help young men (usually teenagers) get off the street, overcome their addiction to yellow glue, get an education, and learn about Christ. I share this because three of the boys that came with us today are street kids. Michael invited them to come to get them off the street and encourage them to join the Micah Project. I met one of the boys, Jose Daniel, a few weeks ago when walking with Michael through the center of town. Michael spent time with Daniel that evening, talking with him and getting him food. The kid I met was high on yellow glue and almost incoherent at times. The kid I saw today was just that . . . a kid. What a difference from the time before. The hard part was knowing that at the end of the day of just being kids at a park, these three boys would return to the streets. Please pray for Daniel, Hector, and Axel, that they would survive the streets until deciding to come into a better place at the Micah House.

As I spent time with these boys, I was able to appreciate the work we are doing in our ministry. I know that any one of our kids could be like those boys living on the street. God has brought them into the safety and protection of our ministry. They have all their needs met, and are hearing the gospel on a regular basis. I just want to praise God for the work He is doing in Honduras. There is so much need, and there are so many suffering children. I am so thankful that there are many ministries here, working with different populations and meeting different needs. I also praise the Lord that I am a part of this awesome work!
