St. Mark's Cathedral EYC

We are very excited to be the first mission team in Honduras and ready to serve with the local church! 

Today we had the blessing of spending some time with Pastor Sabino and he told us about how he met the Lord, how his church and ministry started and how they prepare and send out missionaries to the nations!

Yesterday we got to spend more time with the kids from the church. We shared with them the story of Jonah and then played games to engage and connect more with them.

Before distributing the food bags to different families, our team took the time to pray for all the families and all the stories we were going to get to know about during the rest of our day.

We had a great Monday afternoon of food distribution ministry hearing life stories and how God is working in our sisters' and brothers' lives.

Our food has been amazing this week and last night we had the opportunity to learn how to make Pupusas 

Today we got to visit a sweet lady as we were distributing food among different houses. It was a good conversation and we got to pray for her and her family!

Our team just arrived at the church Principe de Paz. We will receive some instructions before painting some of their classrooms that are being remodeled where many kids receive lessons about God’s love and mercy for us every Sunday morning.

We got the privilege to participate in a church service that took place in the neighborhood of Oro Verde on Tuesday night. It was so awesome to see the community and the church working together.

After 3 days of faithfully serving the church in La Lima Honduras, our team got the privilege to visit the natural park Jeannette Kawas. We saw monkeys, beautiful and giant rocks in the middle of the ocean and saw a beautiful place hidden among several trees named Hidden Port. 

After traveling for a couple of hours, we arrived at the beautiful town of Tela, where we took a boat and set sail towards the beautiful beach of Punta Sal where we were going to spend the rest of our day!

The sisters of the church who work in the kitchen heard about Ms. Amy’s birthday and decided to get a birthday cake for her and gave her a stuffed macaw, Honduras’s national bird. We had so much fun during this improvised birthday party!

Today we visited a nursing home that takes care of old people who have been abandoned and mistreated by their families. Seeing their faces shine with our visit, receiving hugs and compliments was so sweet from them. 

Right after introducing ourselves, our team performed the dancing they had prepared beforehand and so many people from the nursing home got to move and dance with them-so much fun!

During our farewell service, Ms. Amy was invited to sing alongside the worship team so that we all would praise the name of God at once.
