Guzmans in Honduras

WE PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN OF HONDURAS,

who play with sticks and rocks, their toys,
who laugh and sing, over the growls of hunger,
who know a tortilla and a handful of red beans is a meal,
who love their parents as they hug and bless each other,
who hope for a better life, someday.

WE PRAY FOR THOSE,

who have never tasted ice cream,
who sleep on the ground, a bed of cardboard or burlap,
who do not have a room to clean,
who learn to cook over a o´pen fire at the age of four,
who have never colored a picture.

WE PRAY FOR THOSE,

who have parasites consuming much of what they eat,
whose bodies are stunted by malnutrition,
whose stomachs will know pain in the day and night,
who will never see a doctor or a dentist,
who have never known a bathroom with walls.

WE PRAY FOR THOSE,

who live with birth defects,
who have to be carried to the mountain medical clinics,
whose arms bear sick children many miles,
who travel so far, to help so many,
whose hands will mend hearts and spirits.

WE REJOICE AND PRAY FOR THOSE,

who see clearly for the first time,
who take their first wobbly steps after surgery,
who show joy through a new smile,
whose load is made lighter when a child is made healthy,
who live, save by the selfless love of a far-off neighbor.

WE THANK GOD AND PRAY FOR THOSE,

who will make the decision to make a difference,
who take their vacation to go to Honduras to help,
who give faithfully to make the ministry happen,
who will touch a child, and be forever changed,
who are friends like Barnabas.

In Jesus" name we pray, Amen Acts4:36-37
