Thank you guys! We really enjoyed watching this, you're welcome anytime! God bless you all 👋

My daughter spent a semester in Honduras with her Spanish department from her Christian college. She went to Ebenezer many times. That trip changed her life, she now teaches Spanish in inter city Chicago, and brings the love of Jesus to many high school students. John, I truly hope the Holy Spirt spoke to you there as well.

How disappointed you both must have been to hear the church provides a buffet only to be there on a fasting day! 😂

[@adamemrich5624]

NOOOOO!!! I absolutely love this series and I don’t want it to end! Please keep it going!!!

[@lethi82]

Went to La Ceiba, Honduras on a mission trip and loved that place. Yes! This is how I believe Heaven will be(the church dancing, singing, blow horns, flags, all of it)!!!!

[@akajay7356]

Was thinking the same thing!😫🔥✝️

[@glamma77]

Yes! And we will all be united with one language 😁💕

[@fam.estrada5866]

Our dream is to attend one day to Ebenezer Honduras. We live in Canada but we are from Guatemala. Pastor’s sermons have changed our lives for better as a marriage and as a personal.

If you do go to San Pedro Sula do not go outside the hotel at night

[@whatdeyadoes]

I am so glad you guys had Arturo to translate for you all. May God continue to use him. This reminded me of my church back home ❤ exactly like this, with the tambourine dance crew, the flags, the horns, the dancing, the praise, then worship, and the speaking in tongues, the holy oil placed on people. Service would last hours. My pastor used to say you can’t rush the holy spirit.

[@jwiggins4765]

Wrap up the season?? Noooo! This series is fantastic!

[@bethprather9241]

I think he stated the year.. I know he travels on tour soon, but he was on tour actually in the US, so I didn't take they were stopping it

[@arianaquiles4741]

Seeing how they worship brought me so much nostalgia! I was born and raised in the US but grew up in Hispanic churches so I remember the dancing and the joy! I miss going to churches like this! God bless you guys!

So good!! Loved to see the difference between Praise and Worship

[@andrearoose5919]

❤❤❤These have been SO GOOD, you guys!! When part one ended last week, I was like, "Wait, no, it can't be over!" Actually, was in tears at one point to see these brothers and sisters worshiping our God...thank you, both of you and your team for this FUN and informative series. Hope you do more!🤟❤

[@PinkBlossom2023]

I loved this episode! I really enjoyed the exposure to the open style of worship and praise. The dancing, shofars, flags-- it was wonderful to see. And when John said that he imagines that this is how heaven will likely be, I agree. I love this series!

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV Bible [1] Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV Bible [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 10:9-13 KJV Bible [9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. [11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. [12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. John 3:16 KJV Bible For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14:6 KJV Bible Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

[@austinzuercher512]

Good thoughts on worship and praise! I’ve been a missionary in Central America for the past 8 years and in Christian language. When they say alabanza (praise) what churches/worship teams typically mean is fast energetic songs. Whereas adoración (worship) typically means songs that are slower and more reverence filled.

[@JoeCastellon]

I kept holding back my tears watching this. I’m proud to be part of the Crónicas (photography) and intercession teams. This is one big family.

[@Kimreynolds-t5s]

That was amazing! I love John’s description of this is how heaven will be!

[@HPTFan]

There is a few Iglesias de Ebenezer in California, and it has become popular in the Spanish Christian community. I can confirm, that’s how they roll. I’m glad you guys had a great time.

I love this series! I hope you both are continuing? Waiting with joyful, expectant, Christian, holy hope! ;)

This video actually brought me to tears. The children were so happy. Seeing them dance touched my heart. I hate to hear this season is ending. I have enjoyed every episode.

[@bethprather9241]

It was so different that Idk how I would feel if there by just watching and not knowing but a bit of Spanish. Thinking are they sure this is a real , true , Church for our God? Then thinking it wouldn't be in my comfort zone but I'm not there either. WHEN JOHN stated all the joy thar you could feel in singing and dancing.. to him it was like how it maybe in heaven one day❤!! That gave me chills!!

[@maritzaescandon3735]

wow!! I'm impressed with how long the service was, and also how good you guys were with it. I'm Honduran and I will possibly left after the first hour!! thank you for doing that and showing the country of Honduras to the fans!

Not to mention, the fun you both have and the chemistry you have to feed off of each other is hilarious! These videos are over far too soon. I could go on for hours watching. Bring back more please!

Season 2 in the works right?? You have to!! There are churches waiting to be experienced and an interested audience to watch them!!!

[@angelaclaar]

My church, Providence Community Church in Spring Grove, PA, reminds me of this church. Let me emphasize "reminds" because we are only 600-700 people, but we do have "flaggers" and some will dance in front of the stage. Occasionally a woman will play her Shofar. I wish our entire congregation was as lively as this one, because it does look quite heavenly. Thanks for sharing these videos.

[@PhilKelley]

You are now part of my Sunday experience. I have to know what John and Shama are doing today. Thank you for uniting the Body of Christ by narrating your experience of visiting these churches. You are doing a great service to us all, especially in the U. S. A. I don't know if most Christians realize this, but Africa is sending missionaries to us because most of our churches have abandoned Christianity. My brother-in-law was telling me at Thanksgiving that he went to a Nigerian church in New York. It was an experience. The service was not in English, for a start. They are here and they are calling us back to Apostolic Christianity. We need to listen. We need to repent. And we need to follow their lead in faith and obedience to Christ.

[@claudialeal5225]

Good job guy. Love to see these episodes. Please do more.

I went to church under a palm tree in the pastor’s back yard in Baja. Best church ever! Kids led worship then headed across a field for youth service. Adults took a turn at worship, then the pastor taught in Spanish and some English. After the tables came out and the feasting started, this was going to be an all day event.
