Spring 2019
The team will work in a village 45 minutes outside of San Pedro Sula called El Doradito with a population of about 350. The village is located in a flat area with mountains in view and sugar cane fields all around. Local house tiendas (“small shops”) are scattered around the A.C.E. school and mission compound where the students will stay with small restaurants and stores a mile down the dirt road. The majority of the people in the village were born there and either work in the cane fields or travel to San Pedro Sula for work.
The family is central to Honduran daily life and society, and strong emphasis is placed on family loyalty. Not only do family ties form a vital part of social identity, but they provide assistance in business. There are many comidas típicas (“typical foods”) associated with the various regions of the country, including sopa de hombre (“man’s soup”) and other seafood dishes in the south, queso con chile (“cheese with chili peppers”).
The gap between the wealthy (and even the middle-class) and the poor is pronounced. Impoverished families in rural areas typically live on tiny parcels of land.
Football (soccer) is a passion for many Hondurans. There is scarcely a village that does not sponsor a team or club at some level of competition, and international matches often arouse great emotion. The national team has remained a strong contender; it advanced to the semifinals in the 1998 World Cup, and it took second place at the 1999 Pan American Games after defeating the United States, Uruguay,Cuba, Jamaica, and Canada in turn.
What Will We Do?
This missionary journey will focus on using the model Jesus gave his disciples in Luke 10. Participants will partner with local believers to enter into communities in search for people God is already working on to see disciples made, lives changed, and churches birthed. We will also be working with/alongside US students that are living in the Dominican Republic as a part of a "gap year" ministry called Global Year. The students are working daily with the A.C.E. school and building intentional relationships to advance the gospel. If you allow God to use you, your life will not be the only one changed forever!
