Immediate Need!

Help us sponsor 500 children!

What do you say to a child who wants to go to school but doesn't have the money to buy school uniforms or books? This is the situation of many of the Honduran families that we work with. Sadly in Honduras more than 55% of the population can't read yet we are committed to ensuring that this is not true for the next generation. Children who can read have a chance to break out of the cycle of poverty and to hear and share the gospel story! Just $35 will provide books, paper, pencils, and supplies for one student and $60 will provide these supplies as well as a school uniform. The stated costs are for children ranging from kindergarten through the sixth grade. With your donation, you will receive a receipt and photo of the child you sponsor. Will you help us give the Honduran children hope for the future?

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

The Need

     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 Present Work

 

We currently distribute food, hygiene products and medical supplies to more than 1200 individuals per month. We help support growing congregations of Christians. That support includes construction of new church buildings and homes. Our first church was constructed in 2006. We plan to build a second church building in October, 2011.  Each week we provide bible services for about 300.  We have four services at present, two on Saturday and two on Sunday.  We are establishing mii thrift stores to provide affordable items, and to create employment opportunities. We have training programs for Hondurans to learn trades in sewing and hammock-making. These training programs are conducted semi-annually, plus we plan to add new classes in sales and management. In future years, we hope to plant additional evangelical Christian churches and duplicate this ministry in other Honduran villages. The need is great.
 

How You Can Help

PRAY: Please partner with us in praying for this ministry. 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!
