CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

Honduras

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. Matthew 19:14." HHIM volunteers understand the importance Scripture places on all people, but especially children. All HHIM ministry efforts include a children's ministry. Ministering to the beautiful children of Honduras is no exception.

Currently, mission efforts in Honduras involve HHIM volunteers who participate on teams sent by the Honduras Baptist Medical Dental Mission. HBMDM Teams typically go to remoter settings in Honduras. In these often mountainous areas, the needs of the children are considerably different from those mission teams find in the larger urban areas such as Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula.

The needs of the children in rural Honduras are monumental. Medical and dental care is limited as most villages do not have clinics available on a daily basis. Medical care often requires travel to larger towns and even then monetary resources required are not always present for many families. Thus, basic health care that we take for granted is impossible for many Honduran children.      

 The HBMDM Teams expend much effort and resources on the health needs of Honduran children. In addition to medical and dental care, great importance is placed on the spiritual needs of the Honduran children in these villages. Several times a day during a Brigade's visit Children's Church is available. Jesus is shared through Bible stories, games, and other Christ-centered activities. Most teams reward the children's participation with small gifts, goodies, and a taste of Christ's love.

Volunteering to serve on a Honduran trip is only one way of serving these children. You can also serve through monetary and material donations. One of the biggest needs for these children is to for them to be remembered in prayer. Do you want to be part of a children's ministry in Honduras?
