Honduras is full of history and beauty. From its mountains to ancient Mayan ruins to the sea, the country offers the diverse environment you expect in Central America. Masked by its beauty, the Honduran people are struggling.
Honduras is home to over eight million people, with 36 percent of the population under the age of 14. It’s also the third poorest country in the region, with 50 to 60 percent of the labor force either unemployed or underemployed.
Many families struggle daily to meet their basic needs, so they send their kids to the streets to beg or steal. The youth often join gangs and abuse drugs, such as paint thinner, to get high.
Your ministry will be to reach, care for, and disciple the young people of Honduras; to preach the Gospel to the poor, comfort the broken, visit and pray for the sick, and to feed the hungry.
You’ll help partner ministries work alongside, disciple, and train local youth, promote community development, and go door-to-door for home visits, as well as visit those in local hospitals, alcohol treatment programs, and the elderly and infirm. As you live your faith and share the hope and love of Jesus Christ wherever you go, your team will also serve in feeding programs, medical clinics, and visit the Tegucigalpa trash dump.
The opportunities to help the people of Honduras are many. Will you join us in bringing Christ’s love to this nation?
