My husband serves with bringing teams from the states and introducing them to serving here in Honduras. We are so humbled week after week that we have the opportunity to meet so many servants of Jesus. Rene also serves as co-director of the Bible Institute where native leaders and pastors are trained to continue on in the discipleship area of these teams. Its fascinating work to watch the body of Christ come together to fulfill the Great Commission.
I have been serving as the LEAD teacher coordinator at Good Shepherd Christian Academy. GSCA is a school located inside of the property of our children's home here in Honduras. We decided a couple of years ago to try to convert our school to be bilingual. So, we began the search for LEAD teachers, which are volunteer teachers that come from the states to teach our children here. I have witnessed God's faithfulness year after year. He has provided just who we needed at just the right times. I love watching these kids grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. I also love to help these teachers transition into the country and school. It is such a joy for me to share with them from experience how to help cycle through culture shock. I also try to do my part in loving on them and providing time for Bible study and a meal each week.
These guys pour themselves out for the sake of our children (mine included). It is so beautiful to watch relationships form that I know will last a lifetime. I also get the privilege of watching how God is using this experience for teachers as the stepping stone for what is next. Three of the LEAD teachers have decided to take a next step with BMDMI to become full-time. I praise Jesus for this program and ministry. I believe that education is the key to break generational poverty. I believe that through our small efforts and service today, that a generation is being changed. My prayer is that through this education, they would also come to know Jesus, the Author of their faith.
