Faith Home
Faith Home is an orphanage setup in Honduras to give a good
Christian family home environment to the abandoned or orphaned children of Honduras. The government of Honduras
places the children in the home when the courts find abused, orphaned, or abandoned children living on the streets. These
children have no way of support or to get a good education. Faith Home gives them the things that are needed to become a useful
part if the community. They also teach them the meaning of Christian Love and Family. Each child is placed in home settings
that have good Christian parents to see that the children are cared for and the needs are met. Faith Home also provides a
school and the Christian teaching to help develop their faith and love for the Lord. After they reach the age of 14 they go
into a transition house where they have to start doing all the work of the house. They wash their own clothes and fix their
meals. They still have to attend school both public and the private school of Faith Home. These children have a house parent
that makes sure they do their work and that they go to school. This program gets them ready to go out into the world and make
a difference. At age 17 they have to leave Faith Home but some come back to attend the Bible College that was built and opened last year. Here is where the children learn to become Pastors and Teachers
to help give others a chance to hear God’s Word.

Our Mission Trips
On our trips to Faith Home we have been
blessed by God. He has used us to do the following work while we praised his name. We have put roofs on houses, built schools,
laid block, run pipe for water lines, dug trenches for footing, mixed and poured concrete, built a medical building, added
rooms on to some of the homes, built walls and ran plumbing. This year we were able to construct a bridge for the families
at Faith Home. This bridge will allow the children to access the lunch room and school with out walking a long way in the
rain to get around the water running through the valley during the rainy season.
Faith Home is a wonderful place and when
you arrive you can feel God’s presence there. From the minuet we arrived it was just like we were on Holy Ground. The
quiet peace that you feel when you are alone with God and just want to sit for hours just to be with him. Although the work
is hard you do not notice. The temperature is hot but you do not feel it. The days seem like they go by so quickly and it
is time to leave before you know it. You wish it could go on for much longer but it is time to say good-by to everyone and
come home. But you find yourself dreaming of next Year.
The best part
of the trip is having time with God and getting to witness to the children, and we always go out into the community and
pass out food to the families who live in the area. They always are very thankful for any gifts of food they receive. This
gives us a chance to pass on the Word of God to these people who may not hear it without our efforts.
