Honduras
June 9-16, 2012 & Nov. 4-11, 2012
Who's it for?
Adults and youth interested in experiencing an international mission trip.
When are the upcoming trips?
We have two trips scheduled for this year. The June 2012 trip involves medical support, Vacation Bible School, Women's Bible Study, water purification system, hygiene training, construction and environmental efforts and installing stoves.The November 2012 trip focus on Medical and story time for the Kids at the clinic. Both of these trips are multi-generational/family trips.
Where, exactly, is the team headed?
We'll be working in Escuapa, Honduras and surrounding areas. Located in the middle of Central America, Honduras is about the same size as Louisiana. The country’s population is approximately 6.5 million, with 42% under the age of 14 years. Honduras is the second poorest country in the Americas: According to government figures, 48.9% of the population lives on less than one dollar a day--what the United Nations characterizes as “extreme poverty.” The Honduras Methodist Mission is made up of 14 congregations in 7 different areas, each engaged in ministry with its community. The language spoken there is Spanish.
What's the commitment?
Although the final cost of the trip will be affected by airfare costs at the time of booking, we expect the total cost to be approximately $1400. A non-refundable, $100 deposit will reserve your spot (first-come, first-served!) and the remaining fee will be due 60 days prior to departure. We will be hosting a team training prior to the trip.
What else do I need to know?
We'll have an informational meeting and you'll learn all the nitty-gritty details at a required team training prior to the trip. At the training session, you'll receive information that will help you prepare physically (required vaccinations, packing lists, and so on) and mentally (information about the culture you'll be immersed in, what to expect from the trip, and so on).
I have some questions. Whom should I contact?
Contact Rodger Diehl with questions about the June trip, and Johanna Van with questions about the November trip.
