“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed. I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line” Isaiah 28:16-17

For the past ten months, as we’ve been a part of different ministries around the world, there’s been a common theme of building and establishing a foundation.

The Lord has been using us to build and lay physical foundations in different countries:

House #1 in Guatemala

House #2 in Guatemala

Church in Honduras

Church #1 in Lesotho

Church #2 in Lesotho 

From two houses and three churches, He gave us so many physical foundations to help establish…

As I walk through the fields of Lesotho gathering rocks for the church foundation, I can’t help but think how in all these places, I only saw the finished thing one time.

And once again here in Lesotho, we will not see the finished floor of the church…

But that was never the point.

We got to be a part of laying a foundation that lasts.

Christ is laying a foundation so much deeper than we can physically see. He is the true foundation. He is our cornerstone.

I’m humbled knowing we are merely vessels for the incredible things He is growing in these churches and homes.

And I know as I move on from these places, God is sending people and using hands to build up His Church. 

My prayer is we each place our entire life on Christ and make Him our cornerstone. He is a living foundation and our foundation will be strong as long as we follow Him. He is the most important part of anything we could build on this earth, and that’s the beautiful part of what we get to be a part of in these places.

And months later…look at these homes and churches!!

 House #1

 House #2

Church in Honduras 

We didn’t get to be the ones to witness the physical completion of these buildings, but we can celebrate seeing and hearing what the Lord continues to build up!! 

“Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.” Luke 6:47-49
 
“For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Cor 3:11

  3. THIS IS SO GOOD!!! I love the string tying all the ministries together, the humble recognition of the way you got to be a vessel for the building, and the faithfulness of the houses BUILT.

    I’m in awe.
