Giving Opportunitiess
The Love Lempira team works in four communities spread out in a few hour radius around the town of Gracias, so three vehicles would enable the staff to be equipped to serve in multiple places at once, if need be! During the medical brigade, the transmission fell out of one of the vehicles. The ministry works in mountainous terrain and the communities are incredibly rural. Vehicles are essential tools to the ministry, but are getting old and becoming unreliable.
Jonathan and Kim Hall are present all year round in the churches and with the kids. When there are funerals or hospitalizations, the Halls are present to comfort and mourn and walk alongside through the valley of the shadow of death. When there are birthdays and graduations, they show up to celebrate the joys of life and to remind families of our Savior’s love. The Halls are walking out Isaiah 58 and Romans 12, as living sacrifices in all that they do. To know them is to be reminded of Jesus and His love. We see them give out of all they have, but it comes with challenges.
Watching Jonathan and Kim serve reminds me of Matthew 25:34-40, “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’”
Please consider praying and giving to help the Halls and the ministry with the vehicle situation!
