Taking a short term mission trip to Honduras with Joy, is to join a love story over 20 years in the making.
The church located in the heart of Linares.
the Village of Linares
Since 1997, our primary focus has been in the beautiful Gualaco Valley, Olancho. Within this valley, most of our ministry has been in the village of Linares. We’ve seen great improvement in the overall spiritual and physical health within the village.
Through construction projects, hygiene classes, medical outreach, children’s ministry, leadership training and numerous visits of encouragement, we’ve been able to share the love of Christ with many precious families.
“After many years of laboring in Honduras and trying to establish lasting change where individuals are walking with God and living in His ways, I grew frustrated because what we were DOING lacked long term change. The main problem was A LACK OF TRUST.”
more than concrete and 2x4’S
Through years of going to Linares and growing in our friendship, trust has grown, establishing lasting change. Short-term missions must be about a long term commitment to the same place and the same people.
While pouring concrete and building structures has value for the village, we must also ask ourselves these questions:
Do we know the names of the families we're serving?
Do we know the specific spiritual needs of these families?
You have a place in this story.
