Honduras ProjectsAmplifier needed for church sound systemThe Rock of Salvation Church led by Pastor Everardo Serrano needs to purchase an amplifier. Bicycle for PastorPastor Reimundo Zeledon's bicycle is no longer usable. He travels 5 kilometers daily to the church where he serves and would appreciate help to purchase a new bicycle. Beraca United Brethren Church – San Pedro SulaThe Beraca congregation has been in existence for the past 20 years. During that time the church has grown under the leadership of Pastors Moises and Benulda Saenz. The church has been meeting on the first floor of the current building. The plan is to add a second story that would enlarge the sanctuary for worship. They would also like to provide education facilities, which will serve Christian Education, Youth Ministry, and diverse classes to the community (some classes have already been given such as bakery, sewing, etc.). The local congregation has already invested $32,000 but will need $20,000 more to complete their plan. We are accepting contributions towards the $20,000 we would like to raise and are open to assembling a work team to assist in the construction. New Building for the Honduras Conference CampHonduras Conference has a wonderful camp setting outside its headquarters in La Ceiba. It has been a blessing for our conference churches, for ministry to children in the area, and for non-UB churches that have been able to use these grounds for ministry. Honduras Conference has begun construction on a building that can hold larger groups for services and meetings. This is an exciting venture in a conference that continues to grow by planting more and more churches. However, it is a major faith stretch for them. They would be blessed by North American churches and individuals who can assist them financially in this project, or who may want to send a group to assist in construction. For more details, please contact Global Ministries. Gifts can be sent to Global Ministries earmarked for “Honduras Camp”.

Leadership DevelopmentA primary concern of Global Ministries is assisting partnering countries with developing leaders for their churches and conference ministry. Honduras Conference has been rapidly expanding in recent years through consistent church planting efforts. Just a few years ago, the Copan region of Honduras lacked any UB church presence, whereas today there are 13 churches and five new church plants. Along with that, there are young people responding to the call of ministry in their life. And these folks need trained! Honduras Conference has prepared a theological institute to train these individuals using visiting teachers. This is a three-year training process. The first two years are completed. The cost is $3000 per year. This would be a worthy pursuit to invest in. Only $143 will pay for a Copan pastor to participate in the institute. Honduras Conference has partnered with a group that provi If interested, contact Donna Hollopeter by email or toll-free at 1-888-622-3019. |

des continuing education for Hispanic pastors in Honduras called the Evangelical Ministries of the Americas. They are a group that has provided excellent ongoing training for our pastors in such areas as preaching, biblical studies, counseling, church administration, etc. In our partnership with Honduras, we would like to see 20 scholarships per year for pastors at $100 apiece. This would be an invaluable investment in a Central American pastor. Perhaps you could scholarship an individual. The total need is $2000 per year.
