Well, today, I got the priveledge of sharing some pictures of Honduras, the people, and some places.... with the young kids of Grace Church. Not the 3 year old group... but the elementary/middle school group.
A few weeks ago, they asked me to come because they were talking about "going" and what that meant from a missionary standpoint. The kids had some great questions, and some really neat things have come from this little talk. So, they asked me to come back with some pictures to SHOW them what I was talking about.
I really enjoy sharing about "our Honduras". It really excites me to know that people (and in this case little people) want to know. My God is huge, and I believe that people can see that through some of the pictures that were shared today. I started out showing them where, exactly, Honduras is. Then, showed them pictures of "houses" in the neighborhoods that we work. I started with the worst (see picture above). This home is up in the Opalaca Mountains, and it is very difficult to imagine living in it. Much less, living in something worse, which many families have up there! The kids were amazed. "It looks like there is fabric on the walls, Miss Corbett", they said! And, "the walls are not whole!" (Implying that there is space between the wood slats)
I knew these pictures would be interesting for them, and that's the reason I chose them. But, I believe that these kids have an idea that they live in an incredible world. One full of clean water, electricity, washing machines, and above all, a house with walls that stop the elements. I can only hope that even one of these children remember this... and will someday... be attempting to bring God into others lives in a way we couldn't even imagine. I pray for our children of today... and for God to make an impact through someone that is put in their path.
