Mountains High


Trails leading......

Taking the Food Up the Mountain as Far as we could
Deep in the forests of Honduras huts housing many poor families who live on very little are  hid. Today, we drove to Los Flores just outside Puerto Cortes. We drove our vehicles as far as we could  then we picked up our food and started hiking into the deep woods. If you did not know where you were going you could get lost. There were over 20 of us carrying food bags weighing in at 12 pounds.  We were able to bless these families and tell them about the love of Jesus. The morning outing brought 15 salvation's and many received healing prayers.

We came back from lunch to reload and head to a local spot of the city’s poorest in Puerto Cortes. We slowly made our way down the road and as far as we looked people were coming out of their houses and waiting on the street. It was like someone made a phone chain and called everyone. As we turned the corner people started running toward our loaded truck. This particular area is very dangerous and the leadership choose to rethink our distribution of food in this venue.

Steep Trails 
So we aired up our tires and back to the church to reload with food. We headed back up to the mountains of ChaChaWalla. We split our teams up into three cars and received our directions. The flow was indeed much better. Once again we drove as far as we could then this time we each took at two bags to carry and hiked back into the woods. We carried between 20-25 pounds each. The path for these huts was extremely narrow and treacherous but we found a warm reception as we arrived. These people were gracious and hungry for the Word of God. Our team led 5 more people to the Lord and prayed for healing in many people. Many were healed from pains in the back , in the heart and emotionally. Indeed miracles were needed in many, many people. My heart was crushed as I saw person after person in a wheel chair, had fingers missing, or had no feeling in their legs because of a broken back. The sadness of their need was heavy upon my heart. I want to see the miraculous hand of God touch their lives so badly. Lord please hear my cry! Use me, use the body of Christ in greater measures please.

Holy Spirit is touching this boy and his face lights up.
It was a day filled with joy as talking about Jesus to others brings me delight. So, my countenance was lifted because after today we have more brothers and sister going to heaven than we had when the day started. All because a few of us said, “Yes Lord.” He said,”Go” and we said “Yes”.  



A new brother in Christ!

Tomorrow brings a new mountain but the same God; I am eager to go and eager to pray for those in need because I know my God will show up. Will You? What mountain does He want you to climb?


Faithful
