Heb. 10:14
“…by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.”
Why is It, that those who have no reason to complain do, and those who have every reason to complain don’t? The people of Zapote have nothing and are literally dirt poor, yet they don’t complain. To the contrary, they seem quite satisfied. Some would call Zapote “God forsaken” but he is here and I have learned why he loves the poor so much-they turn to him so easily-they fear and respect him. The nicest building in town by far is the church. I have also not heard any complaining from the local Christians from Iglesia Galilea Church, who are giving up a lot to help these people, and even though the 12 Amigos from RLC have left the comfort and familiarity of home, I have not heard one complaint. To the contrary, there is an honest joy that permeates this group and a genuine concern for these people and one another. I am very proud of my new friends, and in awe of God’s wisdom in choosing them , and in their sacrifice to him and each other. Although, no one feels they have given as much as they are receiving. I wonder if this is how it will be when the Lord returns?
The one real sacrifice everyone agrees on is the separation from family. I miss my Sons and Martine terribly and know they feel the same. That is their sacrifice and contribution to this mission-giving us up to do the Lord’s work here. I’ll be home soon M.
To the RLC’ers who have prayed and supported this trip, it’s working! The Lord is being glorified in so many ways. We appreciate you immensely (the flushable wipes are a gift straight from God). See you all soon (especially you M).
MULU,
