One of the highlights of my trip to Honduras was my meeting with the leadership team of the local pastor’s association. We talked and ate with a dozen pastors as we began our friendship and partnership. These men and women represented half of the 100 churches in Comayagua. This association is recognized by the local and federal government and is consulted by the civic officials on issues affecting the electorate. We heard about all their churches. Most of these men and women pastor more than one church and teach in several locations weekly. They walk to their churches – at times up mountain sides – to teach from the Bible and love their faith communities. The churches are filled with loving folks who make very little and need a lot. Most of these leaders – like in all developing countries – get very little in the way of salary. It doesn’t matter – they sense a calling from Jesus to lead, teach, and love and they trust God will provide for them and their families. God always does. We began our conversations about a pastors’ conference where we will bring together the spiritual leaders from Comayagua and the surrounding areas for three to five days of worship, learning, and strategic planning. We are working together to take what we know and deliver it to the pastors in the way they need it. Over the next several months, I will work with this leadership team to prepare a learning and refreshing experience tailor-made for our friends in Honduras. Pray for us – anyone want to come and teach with me?
