The First Step

The Lord has been teaching Josh and I so many things over the past year.  One of the main things is Josh has discovered that his passion to help people and serve the Lord through disaster response runs deep.  In different ways, the Lord has been shaping him, molding him and revealing gifts and abilities that allow Josh to serve and minister through disaster response.  Next week, Josh will be leaving Costa Rica to be part of a collaborative team with Food for the Hungry to do a week of Disaster Risk Reduction assessments in a village in Guatemala.  They will be working in a village in which FH wants to spread the love of Christ and His gospel through community development.  Although this will take Josh away from home for almost 2 weeks, it is a huge opportunity and first step towards what Josh has found to be a great passion.  I ask you to join me in praying for the team, the week they will spend in the village...that it will be fruitful, and that people will come to know the Lord through FH's work in the community.  This will be the first of many assessments throughout Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
