Honduras
Arenales, Lempira, Honduras
For over ten years, our church has partnered with the Sowers family to support and serve children, families, and pastors in Western Honduras. The Sowers family’s mission (Sowers4Pastors.com) is to empower the work of Honduran missionaries, evangelists, and pastors to reach people in their communities with God’s love and the Good News of the Gospel. Through a variety of ministry work such as pastor & teacher training, providing reliable transportation, constructing churches and bridges, and providing resources for sponsorship and feeding programs, the Sowers ministry has been serving in Honduras for over 20 years.
Life Community Church has a unique role in that we are the only church serving the village of Arenales in Western Honduras and partnering with their local pastor, Pastor Marvin. Pastor Marvin works diligently serving and teaching children and families in the schools, churches, and surrounding villages of Arenales. Our church has sent multiple teams to train local pastors, pass out backpacks with much needed supplies, help with construction projects at the schools, and lead a Vacation Bible School for over 500 kids. Life Community continues to partner with the Sowers family and Pastor Marvin by sponsoring children at two of the local schools in Arenales.
SPONSORSHIPS
Children in Arenales face many challenges. Insufficient shelter, food, clothing, and medical care are common. Children who are able to attend the local public schools struggle to afford the required uniforms and school supplies. Many young people drop out of school after 6th grade to work in order to help support the family. Common health problems include parasitic infestations, asthma, respiratory illnesses, and malnutrition.
Your support will provide your sponsored child with two nutritious meals each week, provided through the ministry of Sowers4Pastors to your child's church. Your child will receive a backpack full of required school supplies, school shoes, annual medical check-up, and Bible teaching (utilizing Honduras-specific Sunday school curriculum and materials). In addition, your support will supply meals for other children in the Sowers' feeding programs in other parts of western Honduras.
