Me gozo, Me gozo, Me gozo

Our most recent trip to Honduras was clothed with His goodness, His unfailing mercy and His unceasing love. Our first days were spent delivering groceries to 3 different widows and visiting a local orphanage. One of the widows we visited comes to mind – her name is Marina.

As we walked into Marina’s house she lit up with joy. She began to say, “ me gozo, me gozo, me gozo ( translated – it’s giving me joy). “ The team began to sing in spanish and we followed up with prayer just before presenting Maria with about 3 weeks supply of food. She could not quit smiling and thanking us. Marina is a wheelchair bound senior who’s husband passed years ago. She lost both of her legs to diabetes. By the joyous look on her face you would have thought she was standing at attention. What we didn’t know about Marina is that she was the church cook for many years. She had labored among the people of God in her local church for many years. You get the picture now – she served the Lord and now the Lord was serving her.

We also saw God’s love demonstrated in the local orphanage on the outskirts of La Ceiba. We were able to encourage the 14 kids there as well as make friends that we can continue to keep in contact with.

Our team ministered in 3 different congregations while seeing several come to Christ for the first time and many others healed and filled with the Holy Spirit.

Lastly, we held a pastors conference ( of which I believe is a seed for many more to come) and the word was brought forth out of 1 Chronicles 16: 9a – “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him……….” God wants to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to HIM!

God loves the nations of the earth and we at FathersJoy are called to the nations, to see them worship Him – the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Blessings on the the team from Fountain of Life and Chelsea from Seattle who made this mission possible!
