Honduras is a country that is hurting; a people
pleading for help; a land stricken with poverty; a country of over
seven million people who are threatened daily with disease and death
from their water, food, and poor sanitation; where over fifty
percent of its population is below the poverty line; and where over
three hundred thousand children under the age of sixteen live on the
streets.For many of these children, their inescapable feelings of
starvation are forgotten by taking drugs, but only for a moment.
12,000 children die each year, thirty-six each day, of diseases that
could have been prevented. What's more devastating than all of
this is that hundreds of these people are on their way to hell.
There is a country who needs our help; the country of Honduras.
We've partnered with Missionaries Robbie Ellis and Matt Goins and
their families to build a children's home in El Progresso, Honduras,
to create Team Honduras. The Lord has allowed them to start a
church in the city and we've purchased land to begin building the
buildings necessary for the church and the children's home.
The
Lord has called Mark and Amy Coats, along with their three children,
to be the Directors and first set of house parents for Hope of
Honduras. Currently they are gaining valuable training here at
Hope Children's Home as well as traveling on deputation to gain
their much needed support. They will be attending the Spanish
Language Institute in Costa Rica this April. Mark and Amy have
the desire to see these kids come to a saving knowledge of Jesus
Christ while providing them with a home as well as their daily
needs. Please pray for them and consider what the Lord would
have you do in furthering their efforts to help the children of
Honduras.
It is time for the hundreds of thousands of children in Honduras to
stop living on the streets; to stop getting their meals from
dumpsters; to stop dying from preventable diseases. Team
Honduras cannot reach these children without your help. Will
you help make the difference? Will you help save a child?
