Back to School

"Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!" -Romans 11:33

Teachers are now back to school. We are having times of inservice in the mornings, with afternoons available to work in classrooms. We start our day with a time of worship and prayer. After that, my roommate Kim is giving workshops on behavior management. Later in the morning, I do my presentations. Today we covered the school calendar for the semester. It's going to be a busy semester!

I have found myself in meetings all afternoon. Today I met with a teacher who is also now a housedad. We talked about the need for rules of conduct at school between the guys and girls. After that, I met with my legal director to plan our inservice training for tomorrow. I left school on time today, with a headache from dehydration. I cannot forget my water bottle tomorrow.

When I got home, I met with a student who is struggling spiritually. I hope some of what I shared will encourage her.

It's been a quiet evening at home. Now off to bed!

Home Again

"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous." - Romans 5:19

Well, it's been a month since I have written, but that's because I was back in the States on furlough. I had a wonderful time, but am glad to be back home in Honduras.

As many of you know, I have returned to the country at a time when the political situation is a bit unstable. No matter what the political situation, I intend to stay focused on the work God has me to do here and fulfilling His purposes.

Because there was question regarding the safety of being in the city today, our ministry decided it would be best for everyone to stay at the ranch rather than going to church. I was able to sleep in a little bit, and then attended a worship service here at the ranch. We all met at the bodega at 10:00 AM for a time of worship, reading God's Word, and prayer. When I got home, I listened to a recorded message of my pastor in the States. The message was on the power of the Gospel. This evening, while doing my quiet time, the Lord impressed upon me the need to be praying for a spiritual transformation here in Tegucigalpa. With the political situation being uncertain, now may be the right time for a revival, providing the certainty of Christ in a time of uncertainty. I have decided to commit to praying for this city to transform it's hearts and minds and receive the power of the Gospel. Please join me in this prayer.
