"For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me. Then these righteous ones will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?' Then the King will say, 'I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you where doing it to me!'"
-Matthew 25:35-40

Hello Everyone,

I am emailing you from Honduras after a great day of hard work on both the heart and the body. we spent the day shoveling gravel for a concrete pad at the children's home to support a training area for teaching welding. Then we played with the children. It was so amazing to see these children and how much they need just a little bit of time and attention. After spending the first two days building houses in the slums for families who have little material wealth, today we witnessed another paradox; children in a boys home that had more food, better clothing, and better places to stay, but no family. We ask for your prayers for a particular little boy, Dennis, who is slowly becoming blind. He had to squint just to see right in front of his face and asked that we play with colorful balls and horseshoes because soon he won't be able to see at all. He said that he wanted to remember the colors. Please pray for Dennis and all the others without families.
Blessings,
-Gail B.


Again, it was another great day - we had groups go to the children's home, pack and deliver food, build a house, and clear a patch of land for a future house, which involved a lot of shoveling and sweat. Our group is growing really close now - we work, sweat, cry, pray, and sometimes bleed side-by-side and it is such a joy for me to see all of us enjoying and fulfilling God's purpose. We love and miss you all very much, and even though we're far away right not, y'all are always on our hearts. If you want to watch our nightly devo's, log on to the following website sometime between 8:30 and 9:30pm. Each devo we sing for about 45min and then have a short lesson by one of the team members here - Amber is doing tomorrow night's lesson (Sunday). Well, that's about all - have a great night and God Bless.
-Robbie


Ps. Happy birthday Austin - he got a browning cake and a Iron Man pinata!
