Food in the House

Occasionally people will ask, "Why travel to Honduras to help people when there are people in need right here at home, in the USA?"

It's a good question.

International efforts come with greater expenses related to travel costs, time costs, and the impact that cross-cultural work has on your own soul. Let's just say that there is a price to be paid.

So why go? Why take the time and pay the price to travel to Honduras or any place else for that matter when the hungry, the poor, the needy live right next door?

Jesus Himself gave us a global mandate. He said GO to, "Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the outermost parts of the world," He was literally saying for us to go to our town, our country, neighboring countries and the furthest away places on the planet.

At CONNECT GLOBAL we take this mandate very serious. We were formed as a Global organization knowing that the USA is part of the globe. Because of this, we will continue to travel to Honduras AND care for people here at home.

Currently our primary efforts are based around building Aquaponic Feeding Systems. These sustainable, organic systems produce both Tilapia and fresh vegetables. They are environmentally friendly and easy to manage. Most importantly, they are virtually free to maintain and they feed people.

We completed 5 Aquaponic Feeding Systems this past September in Cusuna, Honduras.

ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17TH WE WILL BUILD OUR FIRST DOMESTIC AQUAPONIC FEEDING SYSTEM IN TAMPA, FL, USA!

Did I mention that we are super excited about this project?

This system will be built on site at New Life Baptist Church in the Sulphur Springs neighborhood of Tampa. This is a very impoverished part of Tampa, often referred to as a "Produce Desert." We are so honored to partner with this excellent church to make sure there will be Food in the House for hundreds of families.

Here's where you come in. Join us this Saturday. You can cut wood, drive a nail, or take picture. We will need help with all three. Share this story with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else you're connected. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter @iConnectGlobal. Watch this story unfold at iConnectGlobal.org. Make a donation to help us continue this work and build more systems that will feed more people. In what ever way you can, get CONNECTED.

New Life Baptist Church is located at 912 E. Fairbanks St., Tampa, FL 33604. We will begin at 10am. Stay all day or for just an hour.

You can mail donations to Connect Global, PO Box 740273, Dallas, TX 75374 or online at www.iConnectGlobal.org.

Pray for Jorge

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.

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."
