For the YOMERS
Yes, I know we all 'loved' the name YOMER, but it does make it a lot easier when referring to all of us at once. What this post is for...
I'm creating this post for everyone that went on the trip to leave comments on. It will be your chance to 'blog' about your experience while in Honduras. If you went on the trip and would like to share with everyone that has been reading the blog what it meant to you, just leave a comment.
Later,

Man, this trip was awesome! It was awesome to be able to praise God with all you YOMERS in Honduras. It was awesome to see your boldness to pray with people to get the Holy Ghost. We've made so many memories that I will remember for a loooooong time! You are all very special and anointed in your own ways. I have learned so much from each one of you.
Brother Luke -- You've taught me that what I want to do is really possible. Even though it seems like something so big to most people, what I've seen in you has shown me that I really can make a difference in the way that God has told me.
Sister Amy -- Your dedication to and support of your husband has been so endearing. One day (hopefully in the near future), I hope to have a relationship as strong as the one I have seen between you and Brother Luke. Thank you so much for being an awesome example!
Brother and Sister James -- You all were awesome chaperones! I am so glad that we got to hang out with you and got to know you better. Hopefully when I'm old like ya'll I'll still be traveling and going on Missions trips! (HAHA...JUST KIDDING!)
Everyone else, I could list things about each of you individually, but it would take me a year and a day for sure! Thank you all, though, for the passion that I have seen in you, and I will continue to pray that we will take this passion back to our home chuches. Let's definitely stay in touch! I love you all!
TWO THUMBS WAY UP EVERYONE! :-)

WOW! God is sooooo good. I went to Honduras anticipating a change in my life and God did just that. In years past I have desired more of the things of the world than of god. I would flip flop from being completely in tune with god to doing things that he disapproved of. On this trip I asked god to give me the strength to overcome that. And did he ever meet my need. I have come to the realization that I don't need the things of this world. I need him!!!! I don't want my life to be controlled by things that don't matter. It is not my will but god's be done. Also on this trip I didn't know what my calling on life was. I had prayed a lot asking god to show me what I am supposed to do for his glory. I always had a desire to be a pediatrician. I was even starting to fill out scholarship applications to get into medical school. But now I don't feel like that is what god wants me to do. So in the fall of 07' I will be attending Gateway College of Evangelism. I'm going for Theology!!! Going into this trip I had realized that I have never personally prayed anybody into the Holy Ghost. And I was majorly convicted in my spirit for not doing god's work.Well the Sunday morning service in the Central church I prayed with a lot of kids but one little girl that was standing in front of me was praying so hard. Then god's spirit fell on her and she began to speak in tongues. This little girl's name is Joslyn and she was my first person/child to ever pray through to the Holy Ghost. As brother Levine and Chuck Carr said that little girl is not going to be my last. I am sooooo excited to see what god has instore for my life. God was so good to all of us on this trip. I have made friends for life. It has only been a day since we've been apart and already I am missing everybody so much. Bro. and Sis. Levine impacted my life so much that they have become on the top of my list of best friends/"adopted athletic daddy" and "sister" (inside joke for all the YOMERS) Also I want to say hey to Bro. Chuck Carr. This guy is amazing and he is up there with the Levines. I don't know how many times I laughed at him during this trip. He was great and he is somebody I respect and love a lot. I want all the YOMERS to know that I love and miss you guys so much. I will be in contact soon enough so be prepared. "Thumbs up and a big smile." We definitely made some great memories.

MO YOM! This trip was awesome...I'm glad that I got to go. There was a lot of stuff that came up right before we were supposed to leave (at work); and I was just wanting to stay home or for it to all be over with. Once we arrived the stress from the previous weeks fell away, and I was able to expereince things that go beyond words. We blogged and sent pictures home, but they don't tell the story as it was played out in first person. The hunger for revival was tangible, and we were able to help them attain their goals be doing outreach and services for the churches there. It's something that I will not soon forget. I recommend at least one mission trip to everyone...it will change your life.

What an awesome trip. We went with great, quality people and went to a beautiful country and ate some different food.
The most impacting for me was the openness and quick reception of the gospel and how easy it was to have a crusade filled with 500 kids. The world is ready for the Gospel!
We met some great Honduran nationals who have become good friends. I will continue to pray for revival in their cities and in all of South America!! :)
God bless all of the YOMers and I look forward to our 5 yr reunion in Honduras!

There aren't words to express what we all expeirenced on our trip to Honduras. God was there in a special place. Between the people and the services there was just something new that touched our hearts everyday. Not only did we enjoy the awesome spiritual aspects of this trip, but we all now have a whole new family that we share something unique and special with. Being a YOMER has changed my life and given me so much, I hope one day to help someone else get to experience this amazing adventure.

This trip was a life changer! I loved every minute of it! The people down there were so nice. I had a mountain top experience while I was in Honduras. When we climbed the mountain for the prayer meeting God got a hold of me and did things in my life that I will always be grateful for! I feel that God has restored me back. He also answered some of my life long prayers and questions that I have had. I believe God changed me in such an awesome way while I was on this mission trip. The people in Honduras have so much passion it makes me feel guilty. They have less than us, but worship more strongly than us. I want that passion that I witnessed while in Honduras, and I believe that if we all keep seeking it, we will find it! I was taught so much during my week trip that I will never forget. Thank you to whom ever made this trip possible! I plan in going next year and excepting God to do great things! Two Thumbs up to my fellow YOMERS! And I am proud to say…
“I'm a One-God, Apostolic, Tongue-talking,
Holy-Rollin', Heaven-bound, Born-Again,
Believer in the liberating power of Jesus' Name
I've been washed in the blood,
sanctified by the Spirit, I believe in holiness,
and I suggest to you, to do the same,
I was set free at a Pentecostal altar on my knees,
would you pardon me if I'm not ashamed,
to be a One-God, Apostolic, Tongue-talking,
Holy-Rollin, Heaven-bound, Born-Again,
Believer in the liberating power of Jesus name."
haha! Love you guys!

Hello everyone! Sorry this took so long... I had a wonderful time at Honduras and i can honestly say i wish i was there right now!I dont know where to start? Ah got it... I just want to thank everyone who was involved in planning this YOMERS trip!
To Bro. Levine ( My Big Brother)and Sis. Levine, thank you guys so much for all the hours and late nights you had put in to this trip! It was so worth it to me! You are wonderful examples and such an inspiration to me. I love you both and am amazed at everything you have done!
Everyone else ( or YOMERS ) lets count off... 1,2,3,4,5..6..7..8..9..10..11..12..13..SIR 14 Sir ..15..16..17..18..19..20..21..
22..23..24..25..26..27..28..29..ME.30!WOW... we really made memories!
I just wanted to say thank you all for worshiping so open. By you guys doing that the Lord was able to work in all of our lives. Never forget our mountian top experiance! That was so life changing and I know I will never be the same! That mountain is when God told me my calling and I know he told a few others but never forget what God has given you and shown you. Thats what makes it a life changing experiance!
We have eaten so many things we wish we hadent (like popsicles off the street) and so many that we were glad to have tried... i dont think I have ever tried so many new foods in that short of time!
Thank you guys for all the support you have givin me in all my "clown n' around". It would have been so difficult to open up if you YOMERS weren't so open with me.
I am so glad God made a way for me to go on this trip. The devil tried to do every thing in his power to get me not to go... but he didN'T succeed! Thank the Lord! I feel so changed in every thing i do. I go to school singing " Yo Danzo, Yo Danzo..." in the hallways. I just wish every person in the whole entire world could feel the same way i do.
I am so thankful for all of you that I was able to meet on this trip. You all feel like my brothers and sisters. I just pray that you hold on to what God has given you and share it with others. Dont ever loose the burning passion for souls! Keep in touch!
And last but not least ..........
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I love each and every one of you!
The one who scramed on her first airplane flight,
Danielle Laskowski
p.s. Prayn for you all!!!
