Adventures in Missions

Well, we're here!! Of course who "we" are and where "here" is depends on who you are talking to. If "we" means the part of the team that flew Continental Airlines, then "here" is Honduras. If "we" is the part of the team flying Delta Airlines, then "here" does NOT mean Honduras.

As many of you are aware, a torrential rain storm went through the Chicagoland area early Saturday morning as our Honduras missions team was headed to the airport. We all made it to the airport without incident, but then the excitement began. Our team of 8 travelers who were flying on Continental Airlines, made it to Houston and then on to Tegucigalpa without a hitch. However, God had other plans for the 15 Delta Airline travelers.

As we were approaching our departing gate, an announcement came over the PA system informing us that Delta had a plane for us to board but NO pilot. Seems our pilot, due to flooding roads, had not given himself enough time to get to the airport.

Our plane was scheduled to leave at 6am but the pilot didn't arrive until after 7am. Then as we were preparing to take off, we were informed that all southbound planes were grounded do to weather conditions. Finally, an hour and a half later we left for Atlanta to try and catch a connecting flight to Tegucigalpa. Needless to say, we didn't make the connecting flight. So "we", the 15 Delta Airline travelers are "here" in Atlanta, GA, staying at the Clarion Hotel.

Don't ever say God doesn't have a sense of humor. As we were walking past one of the conference rooms at the hotel, we saw the following sign:



God, you got that right!

We are booked on the Sunday morning Delta flight to Tegucigalpa. Lord willing we will be reunited with the rest of our team by early afternoon.

Keep praying everyone. The week is young.
