Homes nestled in the mountains of Honduras. |
I thought I would share some photos from the missions trips our family has participated in. Daddy was the first one in our family to go on a missions trip. He spent 10 days in Honduras participating in building/construction projects, and doing medical care with the missionaries down there. They also had the opportunity to go to church in Honduras.
One of the small towns the team visited. |
Daddy is holding the head of the Honduran patient in this picture, while the dentist performs the extraction. They did lots of teeth-pulling while on this trip! |
Dad was very excited after his trip to Honduras, and about a year later my Mom and I joined him and others from our church on a trip to Mexico.
During our week there, we served in a soup kitchen across the street from a local hospital. This photo was taken during our morning devotions over breakfast. |
One day during our stay there, we went to a local Mexican woman’s house to learn how to make tamales! We made over 200 tamales that day! |
During their time in the Bahamas, Dad and Ben worked with others from our church going door-to-door and sharing the gospel with people. In the evenings they did park ministry. This consisted of making balloons for children, playing basketball with the young men, performing “The Redeemer” drama, and sharing the gospel with all the people assembled.
We are very excited to have the opportunity to go on another family missions trip later this year! Lord willing, several members of our family will be serving in some of the poorest areas of Haiti. Haiti was the poorest country in the western hemisphere even before January 2010, when the country was hit with a 7.0-magnitude earthquake. The physical and spiritual needs of the country are still enormous. We are very excited to be able to serve in this way! Please pray for us as we prepare for this trip.
*Have you ever been on a missions trip? If so, what was an experience that stands out in your memory, or really changed your perspective on something? We’d love to hear your story!*
