One team we had a pleasure hosting this summer was Christ to the Nations Church; they are from Mesa, AZ and have been coming since 2014. They are like family to Nancy and I. We don’t think, “Oh, the next team is coming.” It’s like, “Hey, family is coming to town!”
What people need to understand, the power of a short-term mission team. They help local mission ministries spearhead or advance in areas of the community that would seem impossible. I can’t tell you enough of what CTTNC has done by coming here year after year. People are amazed by our growth beings that we are still relatively a new ministry in Honduras, going on 6 years. If I just sit there and think of every team that has come over the years, I can truly see the puzzle pieces or roles that they played in advancing our work.
Every team has their own personalities. Some will be more so for construction while some will be evangelism. CTTNC’s focus is evangelism, teaching, preaching, and believing God for his supernatural work upon the people. Over the years as we go from community to the next, you can see the fruits of their labor as time goes by. Instead of the local pastor only plowing the hard soil of hearts, CTTNC comes right in, plows up the ground to where it’s ready to sow the seeds to bring forth an amazing harvest for the Kingdom of God.
This year, we hit multiple communities that they have never been in for evangelism. In the morning, they went door to door sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Not only praying over the lost for salvation, but they prayed over the needs of the people as well. Then, in the evenings, we had church services in various communities, sharing and demonstrating the Word of God. Finally, Pastor Linda, went back to some previous communities in the past and taught the Word of God in day sessions. They laid new ground work, but reinforced the past as well.
As always, thank you so much to Pastor David and Christ to the Nations Church.
