Good morning from Honduras! Day 2 of well drilling. Looks like we will be setting our pipes at 55 feet!

My friend Petey and some other members from HPPC are in Honduras drilling wells to bring running water to local communities!

West Texas.

Finally made it there. I was able to speak at a camp all last week just outside of the Ft Davis/Marfa area. The camp itself was started in 1890 by a group of ranchers who were are all under the pastoral care of an itinerant preacher. The camp still exists today. The existing families from these original ranching families (approx. 3,000 people strong) come from all over the US still to meet together to enjoy community, biblical reflection, relaxation, and worship.

I was able to share with the middle school students about living narratives that are called into existence by Jesus Christ. We walked through stories in the Gospels to bring to bear the situation, controversy, invitation, and cost of discipleship.

I was nervous the first day when my west coast self showed up in jorts, toms, an old tshirt and trucker hat that I would be kicked out of the camp. Luckily, I packed a pair of cowboy boots and they were incredibly gracious and kind people. It was a great opportunity and I am thankful for the experience to be apart of their faith community, however different from my own.
