Why do so many people equate poverty with Godlessness? As I spend my time here in Honduras, I continue to witness such amazing faith among the poor that we have the priviledge of serving. There was a man (Armando) who prayed once, a year ago, for God to provide a home for his family and he knew that He would. He didn't know how or when, but He knew God would provide. There was a man (Trujilio) who refused to move into his new home until there had been a time of worship there first. He knew it was from God and wanted to honor God with worship before moving in. These kind of stories of faith are endless here and yet I continue to hear many of those who come to work here say things like, "Look at these poor people. We need to give them Jesus," or, "It's great to give them food and homes and clothing (things they really do need by the way), but what they really need is Jesus." There is an assumption that they are "without Jesus" and I think it is because they are poor that some think that. I mean, come on, if they would just give their life to Jesus, be baptized, and start going to church, then surely their situation would change wouldn't it? I am more convinced than ever that the faith of the poor is much more reminiscent of the type of faith we read about in scripture. The faith that can move mountains. Oh ye of little faith......
