This entire week I could not stop saying "precious." Everything our boys(meaning the kids at Zion's Gate) do is precious, from Roni trying to act out "swag" to Anderson licking our knees under the table to Hector trying to learn the phrase "Ain't nobody got time fo dat!" I literally could not stop saying the word. If you could see these boys you would understand. Last Wednesday they were all in the bathroom talking, about 7 of them in one shower stall. I was suspicious as to why they were ALL in there, until they came parading out in new,...

A few days ago, after teaching at the school in the morning, I wanted to spend more time with the Lord. I took my Bible outside and sat down. Across the way, I saw Carlos playing with a remote control truck. Carlos is a a 15 year old boy who used to live life on the streets. I had been wanting to connect with him. I believe that the Lord prompted me to go play with Carlos. I hesitated; I wanted to spend time with Jesus alone on the Word. I finally set my Bible down and went over to play with Carlos. As we were playing and creating ramps for his truck, I felt a sense of peace and fellowship...

Spiritual Landscape of Honduras

Spiritual landscape of Honduras: 80% of birth certificates do not have a father’s signature; a lot of children grow up fatherless, leaving mothers to raise and provide for the entire family Honduras has the #1 intentional homicide rate in the world mostly because of prevalent gang violence and drug trafficking Honduras is 80% Catholic and 20% Protestant, but these titles are mostly nominal and/or mixed with other religions; based on conversations that I’ve had so far, people have head knowledge of God as a “powerful creator”, but have no idea what it...

Middle School, the time period every girl describes as point blank, hell. I remember the first day of middle school, wearing Limited Too was absolutely no longer acceptable and Abercrombie popped collars were a necessity. I soon realized that first day that having my mom pull up my hair for me was no longer acceptable. This conclusion being because almost every girl was wearing their hair curled like Lizzie McGuire. Middle school here isn't quite so stereotypical, but here or home I promise you I wouldn't want to go back. Our first day teaching English to the...

Where do I begin? How do I fittingly put into words the significance of week one of ministry? God has moved, answered, accomplished, protected, and remained. Ministry at the school down the road from Zion's Gate began this week, which entailed a group of 11 of us teaching 22 6th graders English. Each of us team members are teaching about 2 students each, allowing us to begin building solid relationships with them. I'm excited to see how God works in and through that ministry. During the middle of the day, after teaching English in the morning, each team member began...

A Greater Adventure Still

What a week! Last night in the truck on the way home from our street ministry in La Kenedy, my friend Roni who stays at Zion's Gate Ministries asked me "Como estas Chiquita?"(how are you). I answered "Happy." He asked why, and I told him because I was with my friends, I am loved by God, and this is an adventure. And Honduras truly is an adventure. It is completely different than anything I've ever experianced. Let me explain. Everywhere you look, mountains. Tall, rocky and green, the mountains in Honduras are the primary feature, causing the roads to curve...
