We are currently serving in the beautiful country of Honduras. Honduras has been known as "the murder capital of the world" having more murders per capita than any other country in the world. Violence, poverty and drug trafficking are a few of the realities that make Honduras a very dark place to live. However, in the midst of this darkness, God's light is shining. There are many strong believers and churches very much alive in the power of God and the number is growing everyday. As we work alongside these brothers and sisters, we know that God not only has plans to restore Honduras, but also to bring about a revival in Honduras that will change this world.
Through our commitment to collaboration, we are able to see many students sponsored to attend bilingual school, trade/technical training and tutoring. Our desire is to see kids throughout Honduras prepared and equipped to do whatever they want to do in life. We are determined to remove financial barriers that keep families form sending their kids to school by providing scholarships as well as backpacks, school supplies and transportation. Because of our faithful donors and sponsors we are able to make it possible for kids from situations of extreme poverty to receive an education, dream big dreams and then accomplish them.
The communities that we serve are made up of families living in extreme poverty making it difficult for them to provide even the most basic needs of their families including food. In an effort to keep kids from joining gangs out of desperation or seeing kids given away or even seeing families fleeing to other countries in search of a better life, we began daily feeding programs. Kids of all ages come every single day to receive a warm and nutritious meal free of charge. The families also receive food provisions to be able to make meals in their homes as well. We live by the motto, "Full bellies create open hearts."
We believe that everyone is capable of changing their circumstances if given the proper support and training. One way that we are seeing people empowered to change their circumstances is through our skills training program. We are currently offering welding classes, acrylic nail design classes and audio/visual production classes free of charge. We have well-qualified professionals volunteering their time to train people of all ages in our communities in these skills. We hope to offer other trades/skills in the near future to see more families and communities transformed.
