SATURDAY
I stood and watched eleven girls dressed in blue and yellow dresses dance during a full set of praise in worship in a special Saturday night revival service in Honduras. The girls were praying as we entered the church 30 mins. before service. Then they danced and worshipped. It was authentic. It was genuine. It was a nice cultural experience. And it was the beginning of a wonderful night at church.I preached Acts 3:1-8 when the begger was healed at Gate Beautiful. After talking about the power of God and the potential for Him to work tht night, our team of 32 lined across the front to pray with people from the church. Several came forward for salvation, then a floodgate of people opened for prayer for the miraculous. I can´t explain all that happed, but God's presence was real, powerful and evident. It was an early church of Acts experience. Signs and wonders..the real New Testament stuff.
It´s always exciting to go to another country and trust God to move. Our expectation level is ten fold. We WANT God to move. A lesson I need to learn every day, every Sunday, every time we gather as the church.

All in all everyone is healthy and doing fine. We are meeting wonderful people from Honduras. My friend Dennys is here....a great time. (He´s the one I took a picture with near the ocean on my October 2005 trip.)

Joy... I love you and miss the family very much. Tell the boys Hi and that I love and miss them. ALSO...So much for the diet in Honduras. I had a cheesburger and fries from Wendy´s tonight. Pizza will happen too this week. But the good news is it´s low 90s and feels like 102 in the shade. MUGGY and SWEATY. So although I may eat a cheeseburger, I´ll sweat off 10 pounds this week.

Goodnews: this is from our hotel where we got access to the internet. I´ll post again as time allows.
Honduras para Christo!

Hi babe. Sounds like Saturday night was incredible. Wish I could be experiencing it with you. I called Ashley's mom to let her know you guys made it. Phil did a great job preaching this morning. Jackie shared a very personal story tonight for youth-very captivating. She did a awesome job. Overall, night at youth went real well, no problems. Kids asked about you and Ashley. Boys and I miss you alot. House is incomplete without you no matter who else is there. Dakota tells people that his daddy is in Hondurus telling people about Jesus. We love you very much.
