Two Security Forces Airmen, Senior Airmen Joe Potalivo and Nicholas Gahm, recently volunteered to go on a mission trip to Honduras with their church, Radiant Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Their main objective…was to help build three, large, brick buildings, that once completed, would house more than 100 orphans. They did a little of everything, from erecting insulation to constructing a perimeter security.

While work was the order of the day, there was another component they may not have anticipated:

“Every day we would come to work, many of the village children would be there waiting on us, greeting us with smiles and handshakes as we got out of the van,” Gahm said. “The glow that shined on their faces was astonishing. These children, ranging from 3 to 11 years old, had nothing but the clothes on their backs, yet they were the happiest little kids I have ever met. They were all so grateful for every little thing we gave them.”

Gahm said…”It was absolutely astonishing to see how God was working in the lives of these kids.”   “To see kids with such an amazing relationship with God, was one of a kind,” Potalivo added.

These Airmen had the unique opportunity to be ambassadors for Christ and the Air Force — primarily to a group of needy children.
