Partnering with
Pastors
in Gracias Lempira, Honduras
The Sowers Family
The department of Lempira is the poorest area of
Honduras. There are great physical needs, including the
basic needs involving food, clothing, and shelter. In the remote mountain
villages, there are many places
where the people have no access to a church, and many have not heard the Good
News. Additionally, in
this department live many people of the unreached Lenca Indian tribe (less than
1%
evangelized as per The Joshua
Project website). At this time, there is an explosion of small new evangelical
churches, which are reaching
into the mountain communities, including those of the Lenca Indians.
Our primary goal is to help, support, and encourage the indigenous pastors in
this part of Honduras, most of whom are involved in church planting. Our work includes
providing Bibles and Bible study materials, providing Bible
training for pastors, church
construction
assistance, distribution of Christmas gifts for the pastors, as well as
distribution
of donated used clothing.
Our secondary goal is to imitate Christ by helping to alleviate the effects of poverty on the general
population of this area. For us, this
includes community development projects such as
road and bridge construction and
water projects,
implementing nutritional programs for the most needy, medical assistance (in
conjunction with a local
clinic), and help for families with
special needs children.
