Comments for a Cause – Operation Mission Trip

96 Comments/ 164/ 2

Comments for a Cause has become my very favorite feature on It’s Just Life.  It has been one of the most positive things that I ever could have done and it has connected me and my readers with a lot of great causes since April 2011.  In February we focused on The Cindy Platt Boys and Girls Club of Transylvania County.  Print

I am thrilled to report that we raised $187.50 to give to the Boys and Girls Club this month to help in their efforts with the children in our community.  Thank you !   I can’t do this without my incredible readers.

One of my jobs in the past was working at Epworth United Methodist Church in Concord, NC.  I LOVED my job there and worked with the best staff ever.  One of those staff members. Teresa Gray and her husband Dennis, have a heart for mission and I am thrilled to announce that they will be my “cause” for March.  For each and every comment made on ANY blog post during March Chris and I will donate 50 cents to their mission trip fund.

Teresa was happy to answer my little interview questions and provide some pictures to help highlight my post today.  Please enjoy what she shared with me.

1. Summarize for me what you are fundraising for –where you are going, who is going and what you will be doing once you get there.

We will be going to Honduras with a small group of 6 people total, as well as two CCC staffers. All of us have been to Honduras many times and have a love for the country and its people. We also have a special heart for the children of Honduras. We will be helping in a small mountain community in the mountains of Copan the first week we are there and the second week we will be visiting orphanages in San Pedro and the surrounding area.
2. How many times have you made this trip and why is it so important for you to make the trip?

This will be my fifth trip and Dennis’ fourth trip to Honduras. This trip is important to us because we feel as though God is calling us to do more for the children of Honduras, but we aren’t quite sure what that is or what the more looks like. We are praying God’s guidance and basically taking one step at a time. We know that God has called us to return and we are excited about what He has in store for us and our team.
3. If you could summarize your experience in one short sentence what would it be?

God has taught Dennis and I how important it is to follow God’s instructions to “seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.” Micah 6:8  Through our experiences He continually reinforces this through the relationships we build when we go, as well as the many experiences.

4. What has been your favorite thing that has happened as a result of these trips and experiences?

Our favorite thing is being in relationship with the children.—just playing and having fun!honduras4
5. Your children have been an important part of your mission work–both your own and the church children.(Teresa serves as Director of Children and Family Ministries and Director of The Flock Preschool)  What do you hope they learn from your example of putting your words into actual work?

Although we fall short each and every day, we hope that the children are learning the importance of loving each and every day the way that Jesus love us and that love is not just a word but an action. 1 John 3:18
6. If there was one thing you could tell my readers to inspire them about these children and this trip what would it be? You have so many great stories so this is where you can share that!

If you take one look at the faces of the children, it is hard not to be inspired. (These are two children that Teresa and Dennis are sponsoring as a result of their trips to Honduras.) They are precious children and they only seek to be loved. I remember the day I first met one child. She ran to the van when we pulled up to her home and as I got out of the van, she walked up and just took my hand. We spent the whole afternoon playing and beginning to build a relationship. I learned after returning home that she had only been at the orphanage a couple months and that her parents were not able to take care of her and her brothers. That is why they ended up in the orphanage. When I looked into her eyes, I could see the face of Jesus. Each time we leave, it gets harder and harder. We are fortunate, however, to be able to communicate with both of our sponsored children through Skype. Although it is not the same as being there, we at least get to stay in touch with them throughout the school year.honduras3

So what do you think?  Can we raise our max of $500 this month to help Teresa and Dennis with their trip to Honduras?  Remember that for each comment made on any blog post (that means from all almost 9 years of blog posts that I have written) Chris and I will donate 50 cents.   It’s easy and I usually publish a new post every week day so even if you just comment on each new one during March that would be $11.50.  Get 10 people to comment daily and that is $115.  See how quickly it can add up?

Thanks so much for stopping by, for taking the time to comment and for just being the best readers in the world.

If you would like to make a contribution to Teresa and Dennis’s trip on your own please mail your check to Epworth United Methodist Church, 1030 Burrage Rd. NE   Concord, NC 28025 and put Dennis and Teresa Gray–Mission Trip in the memo line.

    That’s a mission trip near and dear to my heart! I have such a connection to Honduras even though I’ve never been there myself. First, when my oldest daughter lived in Alabama, she went on a mission trip there and met her husband, who was with his church there at the same time. Since their marriage 4 years ago, they have returned to Honduras every year on a mission – he has been there 9-10 times (I’ve lost count) and she has gone 5 times. They even honeymooned there. They have such a heart for the Honduran people, especially the children. Second, my church here sponsors a Honduran orphanage and several folks from here have gone there on missions for the last several years. I hope you get tons of comments this month to raise funds for your friends’ trip.

      Thank you so much for your comments! I love it when we hear about others who have the same heart for Honduras, as well as other countries. I truly believe that God calls us according to His purpose and I believe that He has special plans for the people and children of Honduras. Dennis and I are so excited to continue watching Him work in their villages and communities, and also among their children and youth. Just wondering, what orphanage does your church sponsor? Maybe there is a connection somewhere. Wouldn’t that be cool?

          Very small world and how cool that you should reply to this blog. Dennis and I have been to that orphanage each time we have gone to Honduras. last year, we got to go twice. We also have been to another orphanage in San Pedro. . . Compelled by Christ. God is doing amazing things there too.

            So very cool and so very much like our great God to cause our paths to cross! ❤️ Our pastor and his wife along with a couple others from our church just recently got back from a trip to the orphanage. Our church completely funded a small building where the older girls make tortillas to sell. And our church children raised funds for the Honduran children to take a trip to the beach for fun.

      I have seen how mission trips have affected my own children as well. I have a 21 year old and twins that are 14. My 14 year old daughter is in the pictures and she has the same love of Honduras that her dad and I do. In fact, she will be going back this summer. However, she is going with our church group for one week. My two boys also have a heart for serving and do so in their own community. I truly believe that their heart for serving developed over years of learning about Jesus in our home, as well as being a part of an amazing church that has a heart for service and encourages children and youth to love and serve.

    Kelli and Madison have been to Honduras with Carolina Cross Connection. They, too, have a heart for the children of Honduras and enjoyed their trip. Kelli says, “It was well- organized and I felt safe. They provided lots of translators, and God was really present there.” Madison says, “Honduras is a really beautiful country and they have beautiful children. I would go back. The language barrier didn’t matter because the kids just wanted someone to play with them.” We are looking forward to hearing what God is doing through the love shared on this year’s trip.

      I remember our first trip to Mexico too! It was such a blessing and a memory I will have forever. God taught me a lot on that first trip and thereafter. Most importantly, He taught me never to say I’m not going to do something (just because it makes me uncomfortable). God loves to make you uncomfortable and I think He gets a good laugh when we tell him we will do anything but (fly, go to a foreign country with a different language, zipline, go under a waterfall, etc.). . . . He likes to use those uncomfortable things to make us realize that it is all about letting Him be in control. He also likes to take ordinary people like me (who really is very ordinary) and show what can happen when we put our entire trust in Him. Of course, I fall short of this every day and have to keep reminding myself of his AWESOME power! But I’m on the journey and trying hard to keep him behind the wheel and in the driver’s seat. Hope you are able to go with us to Honduras some day, Maggie! You would love the people of Honduras and the children!

    […] So that’s what I have been doing.   What about you? Fill me in in the comment section and remember every comment this month means a 50 cent donation to my friends who are going to Honduras on a mission trip.  Read more about that here. […]
