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.

Educational
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.
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.
Social WorkWe 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.
