Surprise, Surprise in Honduras!

We were surprised to learn that
this church began as a direct result of
an evangelism workshop taught by Wil at
Thomas Herrington Bible Institute with
students and professors in 2010. They
continued to follow-up on those visits
in the years that followed and a church
was born.
"For the Word of
the Lord has sounded forth from you, not
only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also
in every place your faith toward God has
gone forth, so that we have no need to
say anything"
(1 Thessalonians 1:8).
Wil taught a workshop
on personal witnessing to over 30 students at
the Las Cruces Bible Institute and led them in
witnessing door-to-door at Linaca in El Paraiso,
Honduras, February 18-26, 2010.
Seven years later Wil returned to Honduras
teaching a personal evangelism workshop in
Tegucigalpa, and how to maintain sound doctrine
to pastors in Danli, Honduras. The director of
the Bible Institute in Las Cruces sent word to
Wil to be sure and go and see the church in
Linaca that is the direct result of the
evangelism workshops at the Bible Institute. This
was a delightful surprise to see these results,
and to see God at work as a result of the
workshops. Abide in Christ was not
involved in the construction of the new
building.

years ministry in Tegucigalpa.
Wil taught personal
evangelism at Hebron Baptist Church in Tegucigalpa,
Honduras, in September 2016. The conference began
with 85 university and high school students on
Friday night, and the next night 25 more joined the
group. Sunday morning over 300 members of the church
witnessed 13 people being baptized with 13 more the
Sunday before for a total of 26 declaring their
faith in Christ as their Savior. Wil's sermon was on
the plan of salvation using the Roman Road, and at
the same time teaching the congregation how to mark
their Bibles. During the time of invitation, a
number of people came to know Christ as their
Savior. The conference continued to grow each night
the following week. Demonstrations on personal
witnessing using the Roman Road were given each
night, and participants divided up in pairs to
practice witnessing to one another. Several three minute testimonies were
given each night that included one minute on their
life before Christ saved them, one minute when they
heard the Good News and put their faith in Christ's
death and resurrection to save them, and one minute
on the change in their lives.

Wil spent the next weekend in
Dali at Alpha and Omega Baptist Church teaching a
group of pastors on how to maintain sound doctrine
in the local church.
Another surprise was the opportunity to
present the plan of salvation on a local TV station
in Danli. Before the program had ended, a lady
called indicating she believed on Christ as her
Savior. We thank the Lord for the privilege and
opportunity to share Christ and see results. We pray
that many other views came to know Christ on that
program. Our thanks to Juan Alberto Herrera for the
opportunity to witness on his TV program.
