We arrived in Honduras safely thanks to God. United with love, service and faith, we begin this new journey together. 

Welcome to Honduras!

Delicious Food

by Jairo Villanueva | May 24, 2025 4:33 PM

We tasted for first time the Honduran food and it was delicious. The restaurants usually have their own crops where the ingredients are cultivated. 


An Impressive Welcome!

by Jairo Villanueva | May 24, 2025 11:46 PM

We arrived at the church and they had something special for us. They received us with great joy. Also they prepared a typical dance of Honduras that expresses how much they love their country. 

Gastronomy of Honduras

by Jairo Villanueva | May 25, 2025 12:03 AM

The people of the church prepare different types of traditional Honduran food to show how delicious is their gastronomy. Their were flour cakes with ham inside, Tamalitos that are made with corn, coconut bread; Baleadas that are flour tortillas that have fried beans and cheese inside. Everything looks delicious!

Fun Games!

by Jairo Villanueva | May 25, 2025 5:40 PM

On our first day of kid’s ministry we played different games including a sack race, pull the rope and relay race. The children were very happy and all those smiles show us that God was in those moments.
Fun Games!

Men’s Meeting

First Service, Great Expectations!
