Yesterday was Easter Sunday, or Día de Resurrección, as it is called in Spanish. I usually look forward to punchy organ tunes on Easter Sunday, but this year I was looking forward to something very different. We gathered at the river with CRC congregations from the area along with some other churches as well. It was a huge event!
Little did we know that the service location required quite a hike to get there. Matt had to carry an older lady from our church across the river!
There were more than two hundred people who attended. You can see them all here crowding into the shady parts because the temperature was well into the 90's.
Our guest preacher was Casper Geisterfer, a missionary here in Honduras. He and his wife, LeAnne (who works for CRWRC), have taken us under their wing and provided us with tons of support. It was great to have them out to Olancho and to hear Casper preach. He spoke slowly and used a nice neat five-point sermon which I could understand well. Thanks, Casper!
What really made the service though was about a dozen baptisms done in the river. It was a beautiful way to celebrate our Risen Savior and to welcome new brothers and sisters in Christ!
