The Need:  People are hungry.
Honduras is the second poorest nation in the western hemisphere. What an average American family of four spends on food in two days will feed a Honduran family for about a month. Nearly 2/3 of Honduras’ population lives in poverty, struggling to find adequate work to provide for their families.

Our Mission:
To care for the spiritual and physical needs of the Honduran people, by sharing the Gospel, providing food, clothing, and medical assistance.

Our Present Work:
We currently distribute food, hygiene products and medical supplies to more than 200 individuals per month. We help support growing congregations of Christians in and around Tegucigalpa, Honduras. That support includes construction of new church buildings and homes. Our first church was constructed in 2006. In 2007 we added a concrete floor to the interior. This building, pictured below, may appear primitive to many, but it has been a beautiful blessing to the people in Cerco de Piedra.
 

Plans:
We are establishing mini thrift stores to provide affordable items, and to create employment opportunities. We have developed training programs for Hondurans to learn trades in sewing and hammock-making. These training programs are conducted semi-annually. In future years, we hope to plant additional evangelical Christian churches and duplicate this ministry in other Honduran villages. The need is great. Already two other communities have contacted us to begin ministering in their community. Soon, we plan to build a second church building in La Fortunita, a community where we work. The land has been purchased!!!

PRAY:
Please partner with us in praying for this ministry.  Without pray there is nothing.
You can pray specifically for:

• Jim & Francis to faithfully continue to show the love of Jesus to the Honduran people.
• Adequate financial support and other resources to be available.
• People to help further this ministry both on the ground in Honduras and in the U.S.
• Wisdom for the leadership of this ministry.

GO:
Volunteer to GO on a short-term missions trip! Workers are needed for food distribution, construction, medical assistance and for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You may have a trade or skill that you could teach to a native Honduran, increasing their opportunities for employment. A week of your time could change a lifetime, perhaps even eternity, for someone in Honduras!
