"Just because you are a soldier does not mean you have to be far from God. It just means you must be ready for war." This is what Major Paz told the S.E.N.T. Team as he thanked us for coming and reassured us of the importance of preaching to the military. Today we (the northern SENT team) ministered at 5 different bases-the tactico (parachute training), artillery, agricultural, air force academy, and engineering battalion. Each base is different in its own way- some the services are inside, some outside, some have all men some have a few women, at some the soldiers are young and at others men of all ages fill the seats.
The Spirit of God really came by in the services-especially at the air force academy. Bro. Brock Moore preached on transformation and the change that comes in Christ. He dealt with the problems of alcohol and drugs which are common, in the military. He gave an altar call for those who wanted deliverance. The altars filled as 30 men and women called on the Lord, some with tears streaming down their face.
Every individual is important to Christ. He went to extreme measures to bring redemption to man. What a privilege to be a part of sharing the Gospel in Honduras!
We had good times today too! From the sheep that joined us to hear Bro. Brock preach to the giant beetle that was crawling up my leg (this was no ordinary beetle...it was at least 4 inches long!!!!!) to Autumns interesting bathroom experiences to being serenaded by dancing mariachi while we ate fish! (They tried to charge us $20 for singing! They thought we were stupid gringos) WOW! And there's still more...in the downtime we all crashed in the van trying to catch up on the precious sleep we missed due to the 3:30 am wake-up call!
Currently we're in the van headed to our hotel for the night. The van is quiet and heads are nodding off to sleep. Everybody's pretty much tuckered out and definitely ready to get some rest! Signing out for now but we will be back at it bright and early tomorrow morning! Please keep us in your prayers- we need the Lord every step of the way! Buenas Noches!
