-from Royce
I have just arrived back from a great trip to Honduras. I went there with True Life church from Tennessee as a worship leader and translator.
The first few days were full of craziness. I lead 4 services in 2 days. I say this just as a testament to the power of GOD. It is because of Him that I am able to lead worship, and actually there was a time when I was convinced that I couldn’t do it. I also translated my first sermon. It was really fun! There were a few times when I messed up and would throw an English word at the end of a Spanish sentence.
The following days were filled with many children as I led music for the vacation bible schools. It was amazing for me to feel like doing this was like stepping into somewhat of a comfort zone. A few years ago I never would have dreamed of doing that. The Lord is faithful to continue the work he has begun. He continues to stretch and grow us in ways that for me sometimes are not enjoyable, but in the end are always better than anything I could ever have done.
One other noteworthy snippet from the trip I would like to share is about a woman that we went to visit. After a church service the pastor asked us to come up and pray for a sick woman. We went over to her house and met her and then prayed. The really cool thing was that she was really ready to praise Jesus with us. So we then had a mini worship service right there in her living room. It really was nations coming together in worship as we sang songs that sometimes everyone knew in Spanish and English, and sometimes not. We read scripture and it was a really sweet time of fellowship and a time of enthroning our KING who has no boundaries of culture or language or anything else.
