The Joy in Serving {Gerson}

Ever since I responded to God saying, “Here I am, send me,” He has surprised me in different and unexplainable ways every day.


In the ministries every day, we realize that God is doing wonderful things in our lives and in the lives of the people that we share every day with. This sensation— the feeling of hugging someone in need, of helping someone who in need, of teaching a child the pathway that leads to Jesus— is something God feels and moves in. 


I can see Jesus in the places we go. I can see Him in something as small as the smile of an orphan and in the joyful face of an elderly man at the nursing home who was abandoned by his family. Although there are people who are willing to help in these places, we, as a ministry, have the privilege to be part of their joy every day. Despite the situations they face, for me and for our team, it is a joy to be able to help them and to share Jesus with them in every opportunity we have to do so. They have understood that every moment that we live is by the grace of God, and that He has plans for our lives, no matter our age. 


I first give thanks to God for the privilege to serve Him together with people who are also ready and willing to sacrifice many things for His sake. I give thanks for them and to God. We know that we are where we are doing what we are doing for Him as it is written in Philippians 2:13, “For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”


I am thankful too for every person that has helped us move forward in one way or another. We know that everything we do is so that others will know who Jesus is, and to fulfill His command to love our neighbor and to share God’s word. It is a joy, privilege, and blessing to be part of the Pure Joy Missions’ team and to serve God in Puerto Barrios. Thanks be to God.

Desde que le respondi a Dios: Aqui estoy, Envíame, en lo personal Dios me ha sorprendido de diferentes maneras inexplicables y hasta hoy en dia, en el ministerio todos los dias nos damos cuenta de que Dios esta haciendo cosas maravillosas en nuestras vidas y tambien en la vida de las personas con quienes compartimos cada dia. Esa sensación que se siente de abrazar a alguien necesitado, de darle la mano a alguien que necesita ayuda, de enseñarle a un niño el camino que lleva a Jesus, de muchas cosas mas, Dios se siente y se mueve. Y yo puedo ver a Jesus en los lugares a donde vamos, y lo puedo ver en algo muy simple, en la sonrisa de un niño huérfano, en el rostro de un anciano feliz despues de que fue abandonado por su familia en un asilo, a pesar de que en esos lugares hay personas que estan dispuestas a ayudar al prójimo, también nostros como ministerio estamos muy privilegiados de ser parte de su felicidad del dia a dia, a pesar de la situación en que se encuentran, para mi y para nuestro equipo es un gusto poder ayudarles y hablarles acerca de Jesus en cualquier oportunidad que tengamos para hacerlo, ellos han entendido de que cada momento que nosotros vivimos es por la gracia de Dios y que El tiene planes para nuestras vidas y no importando la edad que tengamos.


Primeramente doy gracias a Dios por el privilegio de servirle a El junto con personas que tambien estan dispuestas a sacrificar muchas cosas por la causa de servir a Cristo a traves de las personas, gracias a Dios porque sabemos que nosotros estamos donde estamos y hacemos lo que hacemos porque El, asi lo quiere, como dice Filipenses 2:13. ​



Gracias tambien a cada uno de las personas que nos han ayudado a  seguir adelante de una u otra forma, sabemos que todo lo que hacemos es para dar a conocer a Jesus sobre todo, y cumpliendo su mandado de amar a nuestro prójimo y de anunciar sus palabra. Es un gusto, privilegio y una bendición ser parte del equipo de Pure Joy Missions de servirle a Puerto Barrios, gracias a Dios.
