Honduras
Our Mission
This will be our 14th year serving with the Missioners of Christ based in Comayagua, Honduras. They have been serving the people of Honduras since 1998 and have lived in Honduras since 2003. They are a Catholic community that works in partnership with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and the Diocese of Comayagua to meet the needs of the poor and creating programs for discipleship and evangelization for the youth and young adults in the surrounding mountain villages. Our group, typically consisting of 30 students and three staff members, will join in the Missioner’s mountain missions. We will start each day with home visits, sharing the Gospel with the families and inviting them to participate in our daily programs. Then, in the afternoon and evening, we will lead programs for the children, teens, and adults at the local church. It will be an incredible experience to encounter deeply the people of Honduras and share Jesus with them.

Student Testimonies
“Experiencing the Honduran's generosity despite their poverty was truly amazing and I felt like I truly encountered Jesus through them. I also really felt like I became a vessel of the Holy Spirit through translation. It was a great visual way to experience what it feels like to let God speak through you, as even when I didn't have the words someone else from my team did and I had the gift of being able to convey that.”
“Jesus is in the Eucharist, Jesus is in the Poor, and Jesus is in you. We might not feel it, but when we have faith the size of a mustard that He is so present, the fruits are endless. Say Yes to him, let your life become His, because there is healing and peace that surpasses all understanding.”
“The Honduras mission was truly a life changing experience. Being able to completely disconnect from your own life and experience someone else's struggles is such an eye opening experience. It was worth every moment to be able to experience God through the wonderful people I met on mission.”
"When I went to Honduras, I experienced a simplicity and a wholeness in the people that I did not yet see in the States. Yes, these people lived without many material things, but they were so in touch with what mattered--their faith, their families and their relationships."
"The testimonies of all of those Hondurans truly affected me. They have decided to follow God, and it was their faith who had helped them overcome any difficult circumstances. Even though it was not easy for them to follow God's invitation to serve Him, they would always put Him on the first place of their lives, by offering all the suffering and difficulties encountered."
