Many times i went to a mission´s trip without realizing the importance of having the right motivation and totally ignoring , at that time, the importance of building my actions on the foundation of Christ. Now i see that many of those attempts to do "what's good" in the eyes of God never succeeded. The reason is obvious tough; when you build something on a wick foundation it would fall apart sooner than you thought.
Last days have been one of the craziest and busiest ones for me. Working on the video for the LACC program on different schools of the country confirmed to me that when you build something using Christ as the foundation the fruits of your work would go beyond your sight. Many of the communities we visit suffered a tragedy on the past or are located on a very poor and dangerous section, it took one step of faith of their leaders (teachers, pastors, etc) to move the heart of God and receive the help they need at that time.
We come to the schools and churches to ask about the impact of an infrastructure a church build many years ago and while we listen to the kids and teachers talk, I realize more and more how important is to do the things with excellence and to not forget who should be the foundation of every act we do.
The bible says : " but each one should be careful how he build. For one can´t lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." The verse also says that all we do will be revealed by with the fire, because the fire test the quality of each man´s work" 1 Corinthians 3: 10-13.
This is definitively what i can see on those schools. Christ as the only foundation and Christians working together to build up more than the education of the Nicaraguan children, they are bringing Jesus in a practical way. It has really been tested with fire and the fruits of their work still remains. Well, I can´t deny it... I am on the right place, with the right people and the right nation, for now.
It is interesting to see how the spirit touches me every time one of those kids talk : yes , u know me, i start crying those tears of joy i love to feel running on my face when i am witnessing the impact a small action causes on a child´s life. The coolest part of doing this video, at least for me, is not just that I am learning things I would use in my career sometime soon. The super duper best part is to listen to kids who realized that being poor is not an excuse to stop pursuing your dreams and now dream about finishing a career and traveling around the world as missionaries or nurses who will go to their communities to bring the health care their people need.
Children like me who´s life was changed by the vision of a person who knows that the main thing to teach goes beyond the education of a child, it´s remained to the construction of a life founded on the King of Kings: Jesus Christ.
