Celebration SERVES Honduras

God is doing amazing things across the globe… this week.  Oftentimes, we hear that, “God is doing amazing ‘things’,” but how often do we really feel personally invested in them?  Sometimes when I hear that, I tend to feel as if it’s this distant nebulous thing, but not this week.  I’m just amazed at all God is doing throughout the globe through Celebration with people just like you and me who are willing to GO.

This week’s snapshot:

Xai-Xai (Mozambique, Africa)// Pastors Mel & Diane Stauber packed up their lives and their family to move to Africa this week—launching Celebration’s first international campus!  With all the years of prayer and preparation, it is incredible to see our vision to expand internationally happen right before our eyes.  Pray for them in their first leg of the journey as they are getting acclimated to the culture and learning how to facilitate the feeding program Celebration runs in Xai-Xai (feeding more than 400 children every single day).

Peru// Pastors Joe & Lori Champion are speaking at Camino de Vida Church in Lima, Peru with one of our missionary partners, Pastor Robert Barriger. Pastor Joe is encouraging hundreds of Peruvian men to lead and move forward into all God has for them.  They both are providing encouragement to many of the pastors and the church as it makes an impact in the impoverished country of Peru.

Honduras// Inspired by a heart to serve, a team from Celebration left for Honduras this week with hopes to make a difference in every way possible, and that’s exactly what they’re doing.  In just a few days, they renovated a house for a mother struggling to provide for her family.  With tears of joy she thanked them for thousands of cinder blocks they lugged through the mud to provide a safe shelter for the children.  Yesterday, they are shared the Gospel and provided food for an entire village (more than 2600 meals)!

It truly is amazing to see all that God is doing with people who have simply gone to the poor and needy with open hearts willing to serve.  Looking to get involved in a trip yourself?  That’s great!  We have so many opportunities for you to Serve the Globe with Celebration.  In fact, the trip to Panama leaves in July.  What are you waiting for?  Download the Missions Packet and join the team!
