Day 4: Iglesia de Cristo en Los Pinos

On Sunday we went to Los Pinos for church...one of the poorest neighborhoods we visit. it is absolutely amazing to worship with the poor....because in the church we are all brothers and sisters. we sang in both english and spanish, and i was so moved by the spanish songs...they are so beautiful...especially when i understood the words!!! this church is truly an example of the parable of the widow who gave everything she had to the church, even though it was two small coins...the poorest of the poor come every sunday and give what few lempiras they have (one Lempira is about 5 cents US) to the church. you feel so blessed in comparison, but they too consider themselves to be blessed, and they have so much faith in God. i feel so uplifted, a feeling that comes only from worshipping in a church like Los Pinos. please pray for the people of Los Pinos...they are truly, truly in need.
