Overview: The program serves the children and youth of Honduras and is unique in its focus on discipleship - not only teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, but also teaching participants how to teach and evangelize others in their country. We begin by ensuring the basic needs of each participant are met, then progress to education, general social services, catechesis and active discipleship. As a sponsor you are able to truly accompany your child as a "spiritual parent" through prayer, material support, and personal letters.

OUR FOCUSES
Discipleship
Missionaries from the John Paul II Formation HouseMissionaries from the Missioners of Christ community in Honduras are assigned youth for intensive and extended mentoring, formation and discipleship. |
Youth Evangelization TeamYoung people between the ages of 16 – 25 receive monthly formation in their Catholic faith in order to evangelize the people of their own country. As missionaries-in-training, they are given the opportunity to put their faith into practice by participating in missions in mountain villages, youth retreats and other evangelical opportunities. |
Men of ChristThis is our program for the formation, mentoring and evangelization for high school aged boys. |
Educational
TutoringThe Missioners offer two sessions of tutoring each day, and a library for use by our sponsored youth. In this ministry, kids receive help with their homework in math, grammar and literature. They are also taught about moral and spiritual values. Our objectives are a good academic performance for the child and to encourage moral values. |
EducatodosA program sponsored by the government of Honduras and USAID which allows continued education through night and weekend study. This program is ideal for youth and young adults who cannot attend regular schooling, often due to being too far behind, or needing to work during the day to support their families. |
Social Work
We serve the children who are in the Becas (Scholarship) program, carrying out social projects while teaching the faith and love for neighbor. Our objective is that the children learn to appreciate all they are provided and that they feel useful for their family and their environment. We seek to encourage the children to serve others and learn the value of community.
Family Ministries
Mother's Program
We encourage the mothers of the children that participate in the scholarship program to join us for bible study and social events. This ministry, teaches them family skills, lessons in faith, and crafts or different skills that can benefit them in their daily lives. The objectives of this ministry is to help mothers remember the worth they have as women.
Children of the mother's Program
This program is for the small children that the mothers from the Mothers Program bring because they don't have someone to leave them with when they attend their meetings. There is a group of missioners that spends time with them giving them talks and projects about the faith.
