I am sitting on the back deck of Casa de Esperanza in Santa Ana and ending the 2nd day of my trip. It doesn't take long to remember why I love this place and why my heart feels so strongly about the work here.
It is nice to feel needed, no? But it goes so far beyond that...it goes to the very heart of the gospel. God is at work in this world and we can either choose to be a part of not. We can choose to continue to think of our own well being or we can look out beyond our the walls of our house, the boarders of our towns, cities, our country to see the very "least of these". we can open our hearts to them and realize that my soul is the happiest and the most at rest when I am looking out for his sheep!
If you have been with us to Honduras before, begin your prayers now for your time here and the people you will encounter. If you are a first timer, pray for an open heart to receive this mission before you!
Our theme is ORDINARY RADICAL..serve in the ordinary and love in the radical!!! Start chewing on that one!

Yeah - I like William Wilson's distinction when he says the Gospel is what God is doing, and what we say about that is the message of the Gospel. The heart of the Gospel the action of God.
Have a great week!
