Honduras Mission Trip

High school students and adults: if you have ever longed to deepen your faith, to grow your relationship with God, come join our Honduras mission trip and be ready to see God transform an ordinary July week into an unforgettable one!

Don't let the price tag of this trip stop you from going. After you pray about going on this trip, if God is saying "go," we would encourage you to OBEY and GO! We will fundraise and seek opportunities to finance the trip together. We often say, 'All you need is a willing heart and the courage to take steps of faith,' and we mean it.

For more information talk to Leo or contact the church office.

It oversees a 175-bed hospital (Tandala), 30 health centers staffed by national doctors & nurses, an orphanage, a Christian school, a Promise Home [for kids with disabilities], the ELIKYA Center [trade school for widows and high school grads], and more.

As part of E Free women’s groups all over the U.S. who work together to support this ministry, our HIS [Hands in Service] Ladies meet to strip/sew/roll bandages, cut out/create dress & short kits, make pillowcase dresses, create Scripture wall hangings for schools, prisons, & the Tandala hospital, and take on additional hands-on missions’ projects when asked.

YOU are welcome to join in this fun & productive time to connect with other gals!
