Honduras Mission in 2024


Details
We are planning another trip to Honduras in August 2024. Just wanted to let you know so you can plan accordingly!!! We will let you know more about it later.
Flannery Collins said the following about the Honduras Mission trip: “The past three summers have been absolutely life changing for me. I was introduced to Joe and Greta Miller and some of the other missionaries for the first time in the Summer of 2015, when I attended an information meeting about the trip. At first, I had reservations about traveling to rural Central America, which I knew to be one of the poorest places on this side of the world. But very soon, I would learn that God had put me exactly where I was supposed to be. My three mission trips in Honduras have been the most humbling experiences of my entire life. Each trip has been vastly different and unique, but all three have been amazing. Before I had gone on a mission trip, I had the mindset that I was giving up a week of my summer so that I could go. Now I realize that my "sacrifice" of giving up a week of my summer is nothing compared to the sacrifices that people make during everyday life in Honduras. Some of the things that I have seen there have made me understand how fortunate I am to live in the United States. I never realized how many things I was taking for granted. The fact that I have running water and floors in my house, not to mention job opportunities and access to healthcare, are things that I thought that I was entitled to. You really realize how much of a privilege those things are when you are helping a family build a cement floor in their 1-room house. The community members of the villages that we visited have honestly given me more than I could have possibly given them. Even though I give the construction projects 100 percent of my physical effort while I am there, this could never compare to the kindness and love that the Honduran people have shown me. Our mission teams have been embraced with open arms and hearts. The villagers love us simply because we are there to help, and the members of our teams always return this love as much as we possibly can. Greta Miller has truly shown me what it means to "love thy neighbor". She treats every Honduran person like they are her own child. She is the perfect example of how all of us should treat other human beings.”
Just thinking about the Honduras Mission. Our first meeting for the 2020 mission trip is on January 12, 2020 at Grace Presbyterian Church. If you are interested, please let me know.
2019 was our 20th Anniversary of Grace's partnership with HOI (Honduras Outreach International) doing God's work in Honduras. Over those 20 years, Grace Church's mission team has...
-Adopted 8 different villages in the Agalta Valley of Honduras to construct cement floors, latrines, pilas, stoves and tin roofs for their homes.
- Built 1 large church where the village families of El Quabrachal can meet to worship God in their church, just like we do at Grace!
-Built 1 medical clinic in a village and provided medications, bandages, vitamins and medical equipment to the Agalta Valley region.
-Built 1 Kindergarden and painted over 7 other schools and encouraged children to stay in school, as the average Honduran has a 3rd grade education level.
-Provided 1 water project to bring fresh clean drinking water to a community instead of them having to drink dirty water from their river.
-Sponsored 79 Honduran high school students with 185 years of education through the HOI scholarship program at Grace, since few villages in the Agalta Valley have a high school.
-Sent 236 Grace Mission team members on 19 annual week-long mission trips including 90 Members of Grace Church and 146 friends and family of Grace to spread God's love.
-Taught over 1,300 Honduran children about Christ 's good news through Vacation Bible School lessons and brought them school supplies and hygiene kits of toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap and combs for improvement of their heath.
-Built relationships of love and compassion with over 5,000 Hondurans working side by side, hand in hand on their projects and in their communities.
-And God has transformed a Countless number of lives of the Grace mission team members, our church and all the Honduran families by his grace, as we saw the face of God and experienced joy in the encounters.
The Honduras Mission is actually more than just the Mission trip that we take every year. There are 4 major components of the Grace’s Honduras
