Road of Faith

  What a journey I have been on the past three years. When I started down this road I had no idea where it would lead. My first trip friends and I helped build a church building. Next thing you know I was working with a ministry that had a children's home a Christian high School and a feeding program. I preached my first time on Nicaraguan soil. There were so many firsts that happened over the last couple of years. It took tremendous amounts of faith at times. One of my fondest memories was being able to speak at my friend Pastor Jairo Ortiz's church. It wasn't much more than a small shed type building and a lean to. Over the past year or two when ever he has had the funds available he has purchased material and slowly started building the walls of his church. It may not look like much to some but to me it is beautiful. It was built with his hands and his sheer will to complete what God laid on his heart. He will tell you that he wanted to cave many times. His wife at times did not agree with his direction on becoming a minister or spending what little extra money they had on building his church. He will tell you that without his faith none of it would be possible. His faith is his driving force. He says he is on a road of faith at all times. So it made since that the name of his church was Road Of Faith.
