In Honduras I have a close friend and ministry partner named Jorge Amador. For years Jorge has hosted dozens of missionaries into Cusuna and other parts of Honduras. He has worked tirelessly to build The Kingdom of God in his country.Recently Jorge has suffered several personal setbacks that would challenge the best of any of us. Having lost so much, he has persevered to provide for his family and continue to bring missionaries to Honduras. Just two months ago he graciously ministered alongside Javier Mendoza and I.Recently Jorge has opened a small restaurant with the desire to continue his missions work and give into the work of the ministry. As in the US, starting a business is difficult. Especially when you financial resources are VERY LIMITED, everything must be done in faith.Today I am writing at Jorge's request. "Travis, please email everyone and ask them to pray for me."He has asked for prayer for several specific things:1) Pray for encouragement. Pray the God will comfort him and lift his spirit.2) Pray for customers. Jorge needs 15 customers or more each day.3) Pray for additional funding. Jorge is making several improvements on his restaurant to make it more comfortable and appealing to customers. Improvements like a glass front door, tables, and an A/C.Today I am praying for Jorge. Won't you join me? Won't you agree with me and lift up my friend?

The Beauty after the storm
Monday evening in Dallas proved to be quite a stormy night. Many of our neighbors spent the evening in their closets or sitting in their bathtub. The storm outside sent us all into a heightened state of awareness and wonderment.
"Would a tornado touch down near my home? Would these magnificent clouds turn on us? How would we weather the storm?"
I have been equally overwhelmed by the beauty of the three following days. The weather here has been absolutely wonderful. It's as if the storms of Monday evening never even happened.
And so it is in life. We all face storms. There are those dark stormy nights of the soul that seem to have no ending and threaten to tear us apart. They challenge our sense of safety and leave us cowering in the bathroom.
"He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed." Psalms 107:29
Days like today remind me that the storms of life will also pass. Eventually the clouds will clear and the sun will shine again. The winds will blow away the rain and in the wake we will have days of clear sky's and sunshine.
Our illness will pass. Our poverty will clear away. Our worries will subside. Our God will still the storm to a whisper. The beauty of the days to come will be greater than the storms of the past.

This team will leave Thursday evening for Joplin to distribute the items.

Know Jesus, Serve Others
Jesus told Peter three times, "If you love me then feed my sheep." The implication is clear: to express our love for Jesus we must serve others. Or, put a different way, as we serve others we will show our love and come to know Jesus better and more intimately.
This weekend the WVIW.com team is at the Coffield Prison in Tennessee Colony, TX serving 26 inmate couples. As we serve them, we ourselves come to see Jesus' face more clearly. We express our love for Him more deeply. We enjoy His love for us more fully.
Find out more at WVIW. com.
"We love you Lord. We receive your love. We are feeding your sheep."

Marriage Seminar AfterGlow
Today was the first night of the marriage seminar and we have had a great time. Fridays are always full of anxiety, anticipation, and sometimes apprehension. Tonight was no different. We spent about 5 hours inside the unit listening to and learning ways to identify and live out who we are meant to be as a married couple.
After the Friday night session the wives and volunteers head to what we call the Afterglow. This is meant to be a time to open up to each other and share what the seminar has given to us each day.
Below is a very small sample of some of the comments we received tonight.
Quotes form the Marriage Seminar Afterglow.
"Tonight really touched me because it helped reaffirm our commitment to each other."
"Thank you for helping me reconnect to my husband"
"My toes got stepped on tonight...but were gonna have a new walk now, Thank You."
"My marriage was secret for two years. Through these seminars, I have learned that we all are going through the same things and we are here for each other."
"Since the last seminar God is with me every day and I am in Awe of His grace."
"To be able to sit next to each other and read the bible together and worship together really to he'd my heart."
"I told him we gotta fix it this weekend and Were going to fix it this weekend."
"My husband has done 13 years and I have been here since day 1. Now my husband is coming home in 13 days."
Thank you very much for all of your support. Please continue to pray for our group and for the thirteen hour day we have ahead of us tomorrow. We will be heading back to the prison at 630am tomorrow.
