Honduras : FOCUS Missions

Honduras

“My participation on a FOCUS Mission Trip taught me about God’s love. The Love that I received from the other missionaries allowed me to understand that God is calling me to more in this life. We are meant to be the best versions of ourselves.”

- Justin Tomko, University of Pittsburgh

 

 

Honduras is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere with nearly 21% of the population living on less than one US dollar per day. The people of this country are starving for food and starving for Christ!

On this mission you will bring hope to the people of Comayagua, Honduras, by working alongside the Missioners of Christ, Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, and the Diocese of Comayagua to catechize and serve remote mountain areas near Comayagua. You will lead daily programs for youth, young adults, and parents, feeding them spiritually and physically!  There are opportunities for door-to-door “bare-handed” evangelization as we invite villagers to Holy Mass and Confession–often the first time the Sacraments have been made available to them in years! You may also get the chance to work alongside the Missionaries of Charity in their orphanages and nursing home, as well as a school for the deaf and local orphanages.

The second Spring Break trip will be working at Finca del Niño, an orphanage in Trujillo, Honduras. You can find out more about the orphanage here: Finca del Niño

Bring hope to a people desiring Christ! Help Honduras now by applying for this FOCUS mission!

  1. Each FOCUS Missions participant has the opportunity to fundraise the entire cost of their mission trip.Consider that fundraising allows people who may not have the opportunity to travel on a mission trip to participate in this essential work through you. In another sense, “some give by going while others go by giving.” Allowing others to support us through their financial commitments and prayers is essential to the success of FOCUS Missions!
  2. You will be contacted by your personal fundraising coach soon after you have been accepted on a mission trip to train and mentor you in each step along the way.
  3. Please feel free to contact us at any time by phone or email with your fundraising questions.
