God Unites TPI Honduran Pastor and Costa Rican Woman at Hope in Las Vegas

Josue and Ritza Argueta were visiting Hope this weekend and after each of our services, there were many people trying to speak with them - sometimes broken English and sometimes broken Spanish. After the 9:00 service, a lady walked by while Josue and someone else were struggling to find a word. Having passed by, she came back to them and told them the word they were looking for was: ________ (unimportant). Josue thanked her and she continued on.

After getting some eggs and pancakes from the courtyard (it was Celebration Weekend), Josue and Ritza were looking for a place to sit in the shade. The only seats they saw were next to the lady that had just helped Josue find the word he was looking for. They sat down and starting talking with her. She said she was from Costa Rica, had been raised Catholic, and didn't understand everything she heard in her church; she had come to Hope with some questions (this was her 4th visit). Josue said that scripture passages just started coming out of his mouth, from Hebrews and Romans in particular. He had his bible and showed her many of the passages she had asked about and he answered many of her questions. She told him that she believed God had put him on an airplane in Honduras to fly to Las Vegas so that he could answer her questions at Hope.

She then proceeded to tell Josue about some of the problems she was having and difficult issues she was facing. Josue assured her that someone from Hope would contact her soon.

Isn't it just like everything else we have seen and continue to see... appointments and relationships that only God could put together helping His people grow... and on Celebration Sunday, at that! It adds another dimension to the partnership between Hope and Training Pastors International... God bringing a Honduran pastor to help a lady from Costa Rica at a church in Las Vegas! Amen? Amen!
