Day Three Begins

After our hotel breakfast of Gallo Pinto (spotted rooster, which is actually rice and beans) and eggs & ham with dry toast, Alysia led us in devotions before we drive out to LaJoya for church with our sisters and brothers in Christ at the little green church at the end of the dirt road.

The text for our devo was Luke 22:42. Not my will but Yours be done.

Whether we run into minor or major problems, whether we feel like we are taking a leap in the dark, whether it appears we are doing little of significance ... We can (and should) trust God to work out His will in our work for Him. We may not see the fruit of our labor in LaJoya but God knew beforehand why we came and we can rest assured that God will use it for His will. Alysia expressed some frustrations with seeing things not as she had expected and took comfort in God's Word, and the meditation she read in "Walking with God."

Morning and evening devotions led by each of our team members is so meaningful here in Nicaragua. Beyond the work and relationships, it is faith-strengthening for the team. Thank you, Senders (and Prayers) for your partnership in this ministry.

"Buen Provecho" - said after a meal to the one who provided it.
