Great Meeting

We just finished a great meeting with all the "Directors" of Mission Lazarus. It started at 8 am and ended at 11:30. There were 22 people present from all the areas of Mission Lazarus which covers a good portion of the southern portion of Honduras.

It was the first time for this type of meeting where we get everyone together to talk about what is going on in their area and how we can help each other. I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting. It was great to see everyone's face in one location sharing with one another.

It also reminded me how big this mission is and how much it has grown just in the last year. We have some great people working for the Lord here in Honduras. A big lesson I am learning is that there are great, Christian men and women all over the world who are not necesarily like me. We live in two different worlds but they are children of God just the same. We just need to give everyone a chance to introduce themself.

It makes the children's song "Jesus Loves the Little Children" come to light for me:
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world,
Red, yellow, black and white,
Jesus loves the children of the world.
The question for all of us is, "What are we doing to develop a relationship with those who are not like us?" Let's step out of our comfort zones and get to know someone new...not like us!

Yeah, I guess you don't get much of that yellow, red, and black at Ezell and B'wood High school.
