We started Tuesday off by leaving out from the property at 3 A.M. We made our way to Choluteca where we had our fist service with the local police squadron. After songs and testimonies, Jacob preached a wonderful message about coming out of darkness and into the saving light of Christ. We then headed to have a service with the 4th Artillery Brigade. The commanding officer at this post was super friendly to us and did everything possible to make us feel welcome. We had a wonder service there and were happy to see the men and women praying and worshiping with us. By this time, I was really starting to realize the amount of influence the Sumner family had in Honduras as well as the depth of their relationship with military and police. We left Choluteca and headed to have service with the 11th Infantry Battalion in Salamar. We had arrived slightly late but were still able to have a wonderful service with them. Midway through one of the songs, a troop of soldiers joined the service. We had a great response to the message that Jacob preached about salvation. There were several to raise their hands saying that they sought to be saved. Our next destination was a naval base on the island of Tiger. We enjoyed a boat ride over to the island and even got to ride on the three-wheeled Tuk-Tuks while on the island. We were met at the base by a very generous and receptive captain who warmly welcomed us. We had an awesome service at this base and I truly feel like all of the sailors were truly encouraged in the Lord. After a very interesting tour of the island on which we got to see the beach, visit a bat cave, and observe a pirate rock, we made our way back to Tegucigalpa. We enjoyed an amazing “meat plate” and then made our way to the hotel for a good night’s rest.
So you want to know about the SENT trip? Well, the whole thing started on Monday morning at 2:30 A.M. We all loaded up and headed to the airport and enjoyed two safe flights all the way down to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The flight into Honduras was highlighted by the exceptional landing onto the very dangerous landing strip. Nearly every person aboard applauded the pilots for their very skilled handling. The team made its way through customs without complication. After completing several errands within the city, we made our way to the Sumner’s property in Tablone where we spent the rest of the evening eating some amazing food and enjoying each other’s company.
