SMALL GIRL WITH A BIG GOD Kenzie Rudolph with a little girl, Maria, who was able to have open heart surgery through General Bap- tist Missions. The Oakland City University mission team in front of a church in a Hondu- ran village. By Kenzie Rudolph The saying "God is good all the time, and all the time God is good" never truly got my attention until I wit- nessed people with abso- lutely nothing praising God. That is what I see when I am in Honduras. People living in mud huts, people who do not know when they will get their next meal, people who do not have electrici- ty, and people who are tired and weak are still capable of saying "Dios le bendiga" or "God bless you" to some- one like me who has already been blessed beyond imag- ination. They praise God during the worst of storms, which is something we often forget to do. Oakland City Universi- ty teams up with GBIM ev- ery year to take a team of Christians to do God's work at Faith Home in Honduras. Faith Home takes children from terrible living condi- tions, broken families and danger into a gated com- munity where they will be shown God's love. This was my second time going, and even though this trip was completely different than my first trip, I still left with the same knowledge of how big God is, and how capa- ble He is of doing incredible things, even in third world countries. We wondered if we were ever going to set foot in Hon- duras after 24 hours in four different airports, but God watched over us. A fter nine hours in JFK, San Pedro Su- la's airport never looked so good. We started off a day late, but after a day of no sleep, we insisted on going to church on Sunday morning. It was an international church ser- vice, so it was in English thankfully. A fter dinner in town and some shopping, we got to play soccer with the kids. A fter playing soc- cer for 12 years and retir- ing after high school, this was bittersweet for me. The kids had grown so much, some are no longer there, but there were many new smiling faces. Many of my mission teammates who are not normally athletic came out of their comfort zones to play with the kids, too. It was a beautiful sight. On Monday and parts of the other days, we did many odd jobs that seemed insig- nificant, but no work for God can be labeled so. We put our whole hearts into every- thing we did and served in the only way we knew how. We cleaned, we sorted shoes to be given to kids in poor villages, we hand-delivered rice and beans to people who have almost nothing, we helped prepare a foun- dation for a house in Faith Home, we helped prepare a clinic for operation, and many more things. Some- times I found myself wish- ing I could do more, but the people there were thankful I simply made the trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the hard work on the house. I am not used to carrying cinder blocks and shovel- ing, but if it was to prepare a house for the kids to live in, I could not have been happier. It was also a good bonding experience with some of my teammates. The workers did not speak Eng- lish well, but God often gave me the words to say. I took four years of Spanish in high school, but I was still asking God for assistance. On Tuesday, our host, Pete Leija, took us out in- to a banana field and into a squatters village to deliver candy to children. Some of those children never get a chance to eat candy, so we were so excited to see the smiles on their faces. That same day we visited a little girl named Maria who had open heart surgery because of people like Pete and the General Baptist missionar- ies. She was so loving and hugged every single one of us. She graciously invited us to meet her friends and her pets, and she truly gave us the opportunity to feel God's presence. Pete taught us more than any person most of us have met. He is selfless and a true disciple for Christ. It was so hard for us to say goodbye to him. That same day I learned one of the little boys we fell in love with last year was now back to living on the streets. His parents came and got him from Faith Home, and they went right back to being the parents that got him there in the first place. Sometimes I wonder why God lets such terrible things happen, but I have to trust that God has a plan for my dear young friend. Later that night we got to see kids at Faith Home again. We were given the privilege of seeing how they worship. It was amazing to see young children worship See BIG GOD on 7
