Memorial Day

This weekend is one that is set aside to remember the fallen soldiers that gave their lives for the freedom that we in the USA enjoy. I am blessed because others died for me.
I am especially blessed because Jesus willingly carried the cross up the hill at Calvary to die so that I might live. Let's remember our soldiers this weekend and Jesus every day. Let's also remember the living sacrifices of Jesus' soldiers that are on the ground around the world fighting for the cause. This weekend, drop to your knees and pray a special prayer for the following - Tim, Gena, Dylan, & Dalton Hines - Joe Merillat, Nate Reeves, Mark & Lori Connell - all of these brothers and sisters are working full time to make our work in Honduras - work. Pray for missionaries around the world, for the team at Los Pinos that will be going to Mexico later this year. Pray for my friends that have gone as a team to Costa Rica. Pray for the villages of Santa Anna and Ojojona where a new church will be planted this summer. Pray for God to supply the financial tools that we will need to build and fund a new children's home in the Santa Anna community. Pray for the mission teams from Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, Louisiana, & Georgia that will be traveling and working in Honduras in the weeks before we leave. Pray that the fields will be ready for the harvest when we arrive. Pray that God will pour out his love on the people of Honduras through our hands, our words, and our action. Pray that God will deliver the resources for the work that he has planned for our team.
I love all of you and I am praying for you as we prepare for our mission. If any of you have prayer needs, please post them so that we can all pray together.
Marc
