The Medical Team Arrives!

The medical team arrived in Nicaragua today safe and sound.  We were greeted by Henry's family with warm hugs and smiles and they immediately made us feel right at home.   We are looking forward to living in community this week with our Managua family.  In Romans 12 it talks about how we need to let go of our routines and expectations of home and let God do His will in our daily lives.  We are excited to live this out during our time here in Nicaragua.  David shared four reminders of our purpose here this week:

1) serve - serving our host with extravagant generosity
2) listen - quiet our hearts so that we can hear what God is teaching us through His word and his people here in Nicaragua
3) commit - commit to how we can carry over our experience in Nicaragua effectively once we return home to our comforts
4) say yes - letting go of our expectations for the trip and saying yes to the unexpected opportunities God will place before us

Join us this week in living out Romans 12:1-2
"Therefore I urge you brothers in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices holy and pleasing to God this is your spiritual act of worship.  Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and prove what God's will is - His good, pleasing, and perfect will."
