Class Trip Spiritual Times




Each night we had a nice time of spiritual enrichment. One night it was in our hotel room where all gathered around beds, on the floor, etc. One night it was in the bus. Our final spiritual time was around a camp fire on the beach. Each night there was a devotional speaker and each night different boys shared their testimonies. When we were on the bus, Alexander, who was living on the streets of Tegucigalpa shared his powerful testimony about how after his mom left their family and his father began to live with a different woman. This woman's children made him and his siblings beg for money on the streets and then give it to them. After doing this for a while they decided it would be better to live on the streets and keep the money for themselves than to have to bring it home to them. The Lord brought him out of this lifestyle and he is now graduating this year from El Sembrador. Praise the Lord! Rigoberto shared the night on the beach about the anger he had inside of himself when he came to El Sembrador and the bad relationship he had with his father at the time. He told us of how he got hooked to drugs. He accepted the Lord at the end of the school year last year and is now about to graduate. He has matured so much in his Christian walk. He is still quick to anger but continues to grow spiritually every day. We praise the Lord for the spiritual times on the trip.
