Listening to the story of Jesus Feeding the Multitudes in the high mountains of Honduras.
This was written by my good friend, Dr. Ben Mathes, the founder of Rivers of the World. Marilyn, Alex, Lang and I were part of the team he describes. The original post is on their website.
I just returned from a week of ministry in Honduras with 3, Rivers of the World’s (ROW) executive administrator, and a team of other folks. We were north of Tegucigalpa and south of San Pedro Sula. Our work was sort of near Taulabe and Siguatepeque. Did you get all that?
ROW built a wonderful medical clinic in the Taulabe area in partnership with Indiana University School of Medicine. They are just wonderful folks. We minister to people in about 41 villages located up in the mountains.
On these trips to Honduras, ROW takes a team of people who may or may not know each other. By the end of the week, we have blended our talents so well that we have a solid team that represents Christ through very basic ministry. This ministry includes sharing the Gospel, feeding the hungry, showing compassion to the sick, curing where we can, healing often and always loving others in the name of Christ.
These trips are so exciting and fun to see how God can take ordinary people and use them to do some extraordinary things in the lives of those in need. If you are not involved in a mission program at your church, then contact me and I’ll get you plugged in to mission’s work around the world.
David tells us in Psalm 133:1 (NKJV)
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!”
As Christians, we must present a positive image to the world in order to attract them to Jesus. If they see us being kind to one another, working through differences of opinions in love and being generous with our time and money, they will naturally want to know more about our Lord and Savior.
