Honduras?

I work at a Christian school. This school is a ministry of a church of which I am not personally a member (although the teachings are similar). My brother & his family, however, are members of this church. I also went to this same school when I was in elementary and middle school, so there is a bit of prior history.

I visited this church today (not for the first time) in order to take my young nephew home, give him lunch, and put him down for a nap.

During the service, it was mentioned that they were getting a team together to go to Honduras to help the church plants in a certain area, and to do evangelism. One of the members is from Honduras (well, actually this is the pastor of the Spanish church that meets in the fellowship hall, another ministry of the church I work for). This man knows the area; he has been there before.

I happened to be sitting behind the person to whom interested parties would give their contact info for future updates about the trip. Coincidence? Perhaps. I could have gone over to him after the service.

I gave him my contact information, and said I'd pray about going.

Do I want to go? I'm not sure yet. I want to go, if it is in God's plan for me. I want to be involved in His work. But is this the time and place where He would have me?

What else would I be doing, if I didn't go? Not much. At best, grading papers and doing lesson plans. Resting from teaching, taking a break (to say nothing of the two week break we just had).

Father God, do you want me to go to Honduras? I have no prior connection to the country except for what was mentioned earlier. I know a guy who knows a guy...

Please show me Your will, Father.
