OUR WORK

OUR MISSION

To lead vulnerable and overlooked people into a fully-devoted relationship with Jesus Christ by loving all, cultivating community, restoring dignity and inspiring hope

This week, our team had the opportunity to do four children’s events, two of those were in public schools. The team did an amazing job, and one service had an amazing move from the Holy Spirit. It never gets old, watching the joy that comes from serving the kids here

Crosspoint Day 1- Changing lives and generations to come. The team is building a pastoral home for the small church.

Each week, our Impact Program reaches five communities across two states, serving children from diverse cultural backgrounds. These children come to receive not only a hot meal, but also spiritual nourishment through weekly discipleship, led by faithful local volunteers. Behind the scenes, @angiegrande95 —our devoted project coordinator—ensures everything runs smoothly.

Because of your generosity, we’re able to equip each site with the supplies they need to continue sharing the love of Christ with these young hearts. Thank you for partnering with us to make an eternal impact!

We wish it was possible for you to see all the many people who make this ministry possibly. Whether it be helping us run teams with evangelism, cooking meals for the team, translating, sewing, volunteering at our feeding centers, teaching discipleship at our programs, making bags for our projects, helping with our kids, preaching when we can’t…. There are so many people who are kind enough to give there time and talents to serving Jesus alongside us and we aren’t sure if we will ever be able to show enough gratitude for how sweet they are to us!

Shoutout of to Curtis and Ashley who were officially commissioned this week as missionary associates. This was a full week for their family to learn and grow and establish their calling and trajectory for there next step- which happens to be joining our team! We are asking you to pray for them as they continue to raise there funds. The task is great, and the workers really are a few. They are currently raising funds in Illinois, if you know of churches, or people in that great state, please connect with them and help them get them to Honduras. @ashley.kettner @curtiskettner

Re enacting the story of the prodigal son at Bible Club! One of our favorite lessons that teach that God is always ready to welcome us home, no matter how far we have roamed. Thank you @carlykattenberg for helping bring life into these treasured gifts

What a great week with Cross Assembly from North Carolina. This team built new classrooms for a rural church. They had three school programs and four community programs for kids, and a very special worship night! Such a joy!!!

Last day of ministry- the team ended with a community event for the local kids. This team gave so much from moving block to investing with kids. We are so thankful for the week

Today beams were poured making way for the roof. Lifting and hauling buckets took so many hands. Tonight we had a beautiful evening of worship to start closing up the week

These woman brought their A game today while mixing and pouring the columns needed to support the roof. Our evangelism team went into a Garifuna school where several children made a beautiful decision to follow Jesus.

Today while construction continues the evangelism team held two events. We never take for the granted the opportunity to enter public schools and share Jesus. Today was a great day

This week we are so thankful to host Cross Assembly from North Carolina. Together they are helping to build Sunday school rooms for a church who has outgrown most if there space. Day one of building walls

Today our optical team joined forces with our church to provide care to over 100 people who came to a medical brigade to this very rural village. Together we were able to provide medical consults, medicine, glasses, evangelism and pray— as well as build new building for Sunday school. It is amazing what we can accomplish when we do it together. So thankful for El Faro for being our partners and family in Honduras.

This weekend we had the honor of serving at our teen camp. Pray for this generation and what God has in store for them.

GOD’S PERFECT TIMING- This week has been hot, with temperatures in the 90s and the heat index in the triple digits. Most people live and work with no AC. These record breaking numbers are extremely dangerous to a vulnerable population.

This week is Carnaval and because of that our church hosts teen camp to keep the youth from being a part of the lifestyle choices occurring in town. The camp will be full of teens packed together with dangerously high temperatures.

However, God knew! At the beginning of the year a church reached out to us as asked to fill a need. They entirely funded AC for all the 3 of the large cabins.

It has taken time to get all the electrical ran. They actually had to put in a new transformer so that the camp could use that much energy.

Tomorrow students arrive and today the finally pieces came together to make the camp safer for those gathering to grow in Jesus. Who would have ever known about the hear wave coming- except God.

God’s timing was perfect and we are so thankful to the generous donation that made all of this possible.

Yesterday our team formally launched our new Impact Program providing hot meals and discipleship to this Garifuna community. This community will provide meals three times a week to this vulnerable area, alongside weekly lessons grounding this children in Jesus. Thank you so much @angiegrande95 and your investment in this program.

The Tolupan are an indigenous people group living in the rugged region of central Honduras known as the Montaña de la Flor. While we were constructing a feeding center on their reservation last month, we had the honor of meeting the Chief of the Ceiba tribe (total of 31 unique tribes)

He welcomed us—and the pastors from our church—onto their protected land and shared his heart- this land is normally only accessible to tribal members. As he pointed to the top of the mountain, he told us how God had touched his life. A life transformed. Now, he dreams of building a church in his community—an area surrounded by barbed wire fences and only accessible by a narrow mountain road.

He longs to reach the families living even further up the mountain.

In a sacred and powerful moment, we came together—hearts united with the chief, the local missionary, and community leaders—and lifted our voices in fervent prayer over the land. We invited the Holy Spirit to flood that place. With faith, we asked God to transform this soil into holy ground, a sanctuary where His presence would dwell and His people would gather to worship.

Friends, this is what national missionaries are doing: living and working alongside this unreached people group.

Friends, your generosity makes this possible, demonstrating Christ’s love through feeding centers for children in these villages. This opens the door to discipleship. It opens the door to hearts.

Friends, this is the work of the Holy Spirit, because the harvest is ready.

We are believing for the church this chief will build. We are believing for the harvest among the Tolupan people.

If you want to be part of this story, let us know. 🤍

Currently each Saturday Jenni is teaching at the local annex of the Bible Institute. We passionately believe that investing in raising national leaders is sowing the seeds for the Harvest that is to come.

Today BIG things started! We delivered the food that will launch the new Impact Program in this Garifuna community. This has been a prayer for many years and God made it possible through our partnership with Convoy of Hope. Three times a week vulnerable children will make their way to this center to get a hot meal and learn about Jesus!!! It is only together that these things are possible! @convoyofhope

Jesus said, “Follow me!” This weeks lesson is such a beautiful reminder of the disciples they are becoming!

Please join us in welcoming Isabella Mcwilliams, from the great state of Oklahoma, to our Hola Hope team. In just a few weeks, she will graduate from Northeastern State University with her teaching degree. This fall, she will join our team as our first teacher abroad, serving in our church’s Christian bilingual school for the ‘25-‘26 school year!

This school is committed to making quality education accessible to all families. One way we do that is through our teaching abroad program, which helps lower student tuition costs. Isabella has decided to give her first year of teaching to the children of Honduras.

Education in Honduras is a privilege, not a guarantee. Only 30% of children attend high school, as the government does not provide free education beyond 6th grade. Only 51% of students complete their education at the primary level.

She is working to meet her budget by July. Will you join us in praying for her fundraising efforts?

Welcome to our Hola Hope team, Isabella!!!

Today our optical team (all volunteers) traveled up into a mountain village where we partnered with the local pastors to serve 50 people in need of glasses. We are so thankful for @compassionlink for giving is the training to use this evangelical tool.

We are better together!! This week we have a guest missionary from El Salvador helping us, plus Angie and a fabulous volunteer. We could never say it too many times, we serve with the best! This new program we launched continues to bring midweek discipleship to these precious kids, while helping the let cal church connect and build relationships with these families. Thank you @angiegrande95 for your leadership in this project!

Thank you BGMC for helping us bring a dry place for the Talupan children to come get a hot meal and the word of God. Together we are reaching those who lack access to the gospel, by providing tangible ways to show the love of Jesus. We just ned to put the walls up!!!

This past weekend we had the honor of serving beside our local church. We traveled 12 hours into a remote mountain reservation. This area is home to the Tolupan people. We were able to construct a feeding center, provide a children’s event for nearly 400 kids, serve over 200 families bags of clothes and toys, and feed everyone (we lost count at 600 plates). Five of the seven tribes came, helping to reach this hard to reach, marginalized area where most still practice traditional religion mixed with catholicism. This couldn’t have been possible without those who served beside us. Thank you for allowing us to go!

Please pray with us as we depart tomorrow at 4am, heading 11 hours into the remote mountain region of the Tolupane people, a forgotten people group of Honduras who live on a reservation. Together with our local church we will providing evangelism and outreach to 7 tribes and nearly 400 children. Because of @agbgmc we will finish the final pieces of a feeding center that not only will provide nourishment and the word of God, but also creates unity among conflicting tribes. We are so thankful to the kids who invest in BGMC, and for the chance to show the love of Jesus during the holiest of weeks.

Today our team had the honor of leading 120 kids in a children’s service alongside Pastor Frank. The sweetest moment was when the children blessed us with their own music in their traditional language. Honduras is so rich in culture and the beauty of it’s people.

Construction has started on the feeding center for the indigenous area of the Tolupan, helping to bring the tribes together to be able to share the gospel. We are so thankful to be able to partner with our national church here to make this project possible.

Today there were 10 communities that sent members from their church to learn more about kids ministries. It was a wonderful training helping to empower these leaders to reach the next generation

The world is a better place because of Pastor Frank! It is always an honor to host this talented man, and watch him bring joy and teaching to Honduras. Today we held an event for the first time ever in a high-risk barrio in our city bringing joy to about 75 kids.

There are a million things we take granted-convenience is one of them. There is no two day shipping, no quick meals, and in this case no Home Depot

The commitment of this community is beautiful as they work to finish this Impact Center in this remote area. Recently they ran out of bricks- but did this stop them? No, they paused and began making there own because there currently isn’t a way to get more their

Things move slower here, but it is often a multi- step, grown in patience project of learning to work with what you have.

Each week across three departments volunteers of cooks and teachers make there way to the our Impact Sites. Providing new tools this past weekend helps to empower these local leaders to bring more ways to make a difference

Cooks received creative ways to prepare the food from Convoy of Hope, to give it a fresh taste.

Teachers were give new understanding on ways that their students learn and ways that their lessons can be adapted for different learning styles

Just a few of the most amazing volunteers who make Project Impact possible! It was so great letting all the communities meet each other and network.

We want to give special recognition to @angiegrande95 our Project Impact Coordinator. This event was mapped out by her, including coordinating all the logistics. The success of our work is because of those who stand with us to reach others. Thank you Angie for all your hard work. Also, a special thank you to Yulissa who volunteers her time to help our ministry over and over again. She quickly said “yes” when we were in a crunch and helped make the day a success. We are so thankful to these talented women and the gifts that they share.

The past two days our team hosted an overnight training for our Project Impact Sites- bringing together 5 communities. This training provided tools for teachers and cooks to help them and their communities. We focused on teaching about food safety protocols and ways that they can prepare their meals to make them taste better. We also focused on teaching teachers on different ways their students learn and how they can learn how to ask questions to move their kids into deeper thinking. We know we say it often- but we are so fortunate to work among some amazing people. It has been a long couple days- but so rewarding.

Today out team began day 1 of a two day training for our impact sites. Five communities will be represented this weekend learning valuable skills in the kitchen and classroom. This is the first time we have hosted a training for all of our locations and are excited to see everyone come together

Every 7 weeks for the past 4 years our kids in this village share with us the Bible verse theme from memory. It is a beautiful thing that God allows us to watch each of them grow up and grow in to their relationship with Jesus. (Luke 2:30-32)

Rains caused some delays, but it didn’t stop us from starting our lessons on Holy Week. Today we practiced Palm Sunday. In spanish, they say Sunday of the Branches or Domingo de Ramos.

Month two of Club de Chicas! Gosh we love these girls- and so thankful to provide moments of simple joy through art and crafts!

For God so loved the world….A big lesson for such a precious little girl. Weekly Bible Club is alway full of great hugs and beautiful smiles.

Do you see the spot here? I know for so many of you. It just looks like an empty space. However, for us, we see promises fulfilled. When we see the space, we see what is to come- this is the start to something bigger than those dirt floors and make-shift beams

Next month this space will be a feeding center to the Tolupan people. This will be the space that these tribes send their children to learn about the love of God who has not forgotten them. A God who knows their name.

One month from now we will travel with our home church to launch a large outreach to over 500 people, 7 tribes while working with Honduran missionaries who have dedicated their lives to work in this remote part of Honduras.

Revelation 7 says every tribe, so these seven matter. Join us in praying for what is yet to come, for the bricks that will yield a harvest of people who know our Jesus.

A special thanks to @encounteryouth.gb and Pastor @megtate2007 who kid’s BGMC funds made this possible! Thank you for your “yes”

Thank you Celebration Church for saying yes to the Moskitia people! Kingdom impacts because of your faith!

A few weeks ago a few team members were asked to judge the Spelling B at our church’s bilingual school. We are so thankful we get to serve in the precious school, and show off our English 🤣

The Miskitos are a native people in Central America. Their territory extends from Cape Camarón, Honduras, to Río Grande de Matagalpa, Nicaragua. This indigenous group has their own unique language which we were fully submerged in this week. We wanted to share this beautiful language with you. This woman is reading John 3:16 her her native language

And thats a wrap!!! Thank you @celebrationchurch for bringing your “yes” to Honduras! Come back and see us soon!

Saying good-bye to the Moskitia until the next time. Heading back with the team today to our city

Last day of construction! Walls for the feeding center are done.

Day 3- Brick by brick the center is taking form. This afternoon we paused to provide a kids program to the kids in the village

Day 2- Foundations done, tomorrow walls go up!

Day 1 with this amazing team- willing to go to what feels like the ends of the earth to reach people in a very remote part of Honduras. 12 hours of off-roads and boat rides, and we arrived. Saying yes to his yes will take you to places you never imagined.
