Today was a busy and full day, with one week before we leave for Honduras. At our morning worship service, the team was commissioned by Rev Elliott. It was an awesome experience as we stood side by side in prayer and preparation for our journey next week.
This was the prayer said as the congregation witnessed our commitment to this mission:
Prayer of Commissioning for
El Hogar Missionaries
O God our creator, we thank you for calling us to be your
servants.
Help us gladly to respond to your call and obey your will.
We give thanks for your call to our people who will travel
to Honduras in your service.
Make them ready for every situation they will face.
Give them hearts and minds which are open to knowing the
presence of your son Jesus in the faces of the poor and the orphaned.
Let their
lives be changed and enriched through their relationships with the children of
El Hogar.
Let them faithfully serve you and show forth your love to
the world and may their experiences fill them with your peace and hope. Bless them on their way and bring them safely
back to us.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Caroldean again donated baby layettes which she lovingly puts together for us.
and Kay has once again hand-made the precious dolls which the young girls will cherish.
When finally packed and weighed, we were able to get a group picture with those suitcases and a plan to all meet at the airport next Saturday.
