What can you do?
Heart to Honduras partners are finding exciting and creative ways to support this ministry! There are lots of ways to care for the lost, the poor and the
hurting. Here are ways some of Heart to Honduras' supporters have found to say, “I care”:
Family Christmas Giving
Several families have decided in recent years to include the "least of these" in their Christmas giving. They are asking themselves and their own
families, “How much is enough?” They are choosing to share their blessings with their spiritual brothers and sisters in Honduras. And so Christmas
becomes an opportunity for families to share with those who have so much less.
Christmas Giving through Friends
One family, for the second year in a row, inspired their condo association to make a substantial donation to purchase vitamins used by a medical team
in Honduras during January 2003. Think of the scene: instead of swapping gifts that may or may not ever be used (or even needed!), these supporters
provided much-needed vitamins for those who receive few if any Christmas gifts!
Student Donations
Triple C School, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Heart to Honduras recently received a check from this school's students and a letter from its Director, Marjorie Ebanks. Her letter best explains the gift:
Dear Friends of Heart to Honduras,
I am pleased to enclose a check for $1,500 from the students of Triple C School to assist with your mission work. Each quarter our school raises
money through giving only – no fundraising is done – for a worthy mission project. Every week we publish the results and the children have been
excited and intrinsically rewarded for their giving. This money was raised in only ten weeks.
Our goal is to sensitize our children to the needs of others so that in adulthood they will be givers and caregivers to their communities and around
the world.
Your organization was introduced to us by several educators from LakeWales, Florida who are now teaching at Triple C School.
May the Lord bless all your efforts for his kingdom and may you see many bodies renewed and souls saved.
Salem Academy School, Clayton, Ohio
Principals Dick and Carolyn Guitar of this school desire to develop hearts of care and compassion in their students. Each
semester their elementary students are challenged to give to missions. The most recently challenge took place in January
and February of this year: collect a mile of nickels for Heart to Honduras! On February 7 the classes gathered in the
gymnasium to spread their taped nickels on the floor. What a beautiful picture! The students spread row after row of
nickels up and down the gym floor! Salem Church of God in Salem, Ohio offered to match the students' gift.
Winnetaka (IL) High School
Students of this school along with a student program of Rotary International, Interact, found a way to gather unused school supplies and materials and
send them to Heart to Honduras. The ministry received and shipped to Honduras 26 boxes of school materials! Many school children in Honduras will
benefit from this thoughtful effort by these students and their leaders!
Church Ministries Provide Donations
A small group from the South Lakeland Church of God in Lakeland, Florida sent a $2,000 check to assist Pastor Marlon in Nicaragua. Marlon
graduated from our first School of Discipleship class and has returned to the northern section of his home country to plant a new church in Ocotal. What
a gift of support and encouragement this is to him! Thanks to Gordon Howe and Pastor Ken Bish for inspiring their church to give!
Groups from a Beckley, West Virginia church are finding ways to support Heart to Honduras. A drama outreach of First Church of God raised $800
for the ministry through a dinner theatre. From the same church, the Peace Makers Class sent an additional donation they had raised. Church member
Ann Darby shared about a recent trips to Honduras with local Junior Girl Scout Troop 2526. The Troop collected several boxes of items to send to
children in Honduras! Thanks to Pastor Vondie Cook and Mike and Ann Darby for their enthusiastic work in encouraging this involvement!
Crocheting for Honduras
Sometimes people feel they don't have the skills to go on a missions trip or the financial resources to contribute. Virginia
Mullins is one such person, a great-great-grandmother who after meeting our missionary Miguel Pinell and his son Charlie
wanted to help. She has been crocheting and sending the proceeds to missions most of her adult life. For the past nine
years she has contributed generously to Heart to Honduras through her consistent efforts. She makes baby blankets,
shawls, sweaters, and hand towels. She continues crocheting even though she has past her 95th birthday.
Birthday Presents
Heart to Honduras recently received a letter from one family whose son suffers from a condition known as esosinophilic esophagitis. He requires G-
tube feedings to maintain his nutrition. He recently turned ten years old, and his parents threw a birthday party for him. But instead of receiving presents
for himself, he asked his friends to make a contribution to Heart to Honduras! The letter that the parents sent contained several checks given by their
son's friends in response to his request.
A Fifth-Grader...
from Columbus Ohio recently sent this letter to Heart to Honduras:
Dear Sir or Madame,
I am giving you $17.80 from our mini-mall. Mini-mall is an economic project we did this year at school. Everyone takes a part as an entrepeneur.
We make a product, and then we sell it to the whole school. Last winter, my mom…went to Honduras with you on a medical mission. I hope that you
can use this $17.80 to either buy medicines for the Hondurians, or to transport doctors to some of the sites they are going to be at. When I get older,
I am going to go to Honduras with my mom.
