Day Three

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (Col. 3:17)

This mission trip is not what a friend in another fellowship once called a "glory gig."

We are not teaching orphans how to swim or inoculating them against infectious diseases. We are not teaching adults how to read the bible.

What we have been doing sounds pretty mundane: clearing away debris from the mission courtyard, moving things around, and sanding and painting its walls inside and out.

And, according to Padre Luis, we are God's answers to four year's of prayers.

So my friend, it turns out, was wrong. The chores we've been doing, we've been doing in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God to Father for this opportunity to glorify Him.
