Trusting God in Challenges | 在挑战中信靠神

From the moment we landed in Honduras, something special started to happen. Even though many of us came from different church branches and didn't know each other well, we quickly bonded. It was amazing to see how our shared faith in God brought us together. By the end of the trip, these strangers had become brothers and sisters to me; people I truly won’t forget.

We served in areas that might seem dangerous or even intimidating. Some of the neighborhoods were known to be controlled by gangs, and I had heard stories that made me hesitant before coming. But while we were there, I experienced a deep sense of peace and protection. Whether we were walking through the streets, helping in local churches, or even just buying snacks at the supermarket, I felt God’s presence, and He covered our team every step of the way.

The churches we also went into were also very far away, but that didn’t matter if we had God on our side. No one got tired throughout the week, and everyone was so happy to do their job. What I learned is that our role isn’t to convert hearts; that’s God’s job. Our job is to show up, to love, and to share the gospel boldly and faithfully. And in that, I learned to trust God more deeply. I learned that even in unfamiliar places, even when the conditions aren’t ideal, God is still in control. He’s working through us, even when we can’t see the full picture.

Honduras changed me. It reminded me of the power of unity in Christ, the strength of faith in action, and the beauty of trusting in God’s plan, especially when things are out of our control. I’m so thankful I got to go, and I’m even more thankful for what God did while we were there.

从我们一落地洪都拉斯开始，就感觉有些特别的事情在发生。虽然我们当中很多人来自不同的教会分堂，彼此并不熟悉，但我们很快就建立了深厚的感情。令人惊叹的是，是我们对上帝的共同信仰把我们紧紧连结在一起。到旅程结束时，这些原本陌生的人，已经成了我真正的弟兄姊妹，是我永远不会忘记的人。

我们服事的地区，从外表看，可能会让人觉得危险甚至有些吓人。有些社区据说是由帮派控制的，我在来之前也听说过不少令人犹豫的故事。但当我们实际到达那里时，我内心却有一种深深的平安与被保护的感觉。无论是我们走在街道上、在当地教会帮忙，还是仅仅去超市买点零食，我都能感受到神的同在和对我们团队的看顾。我们去的许多教会也非常偏远，但只要有神与我们同在，路途的遥远根本不算什么。整个星期没有人感到疲惫，每个人都非常喜乐地完成自己的服事。

我学到的是，改变人心的工作不是我们的责任，那是神的工作。我们的责任是去到那里，去爱他们，去勇敢而忠心地传讲福音。在这个过程中，我学会了更加信靠神。我明白了，即使是在陌生的地方，即使环境并不理想，神仍然掌权。即使我们看不到全貌，神也在透过我们做工。

洪都拉斯的这次经历让我改变了。它让我再次看到基督里的合一有多么强大，看到信心的行动有多么有力，也看到信靠神计划的美好——特别是在我们无法掌控的时刻。我非常感恩我能够参与这次旅程，更感恩在我们在那里时，神所做的一切。
