Community Search

Our official role with Mission to the World (MTW) and Team Honduras is church planting.  We are searching for a community with the purpose of building relationships, discipleship, and identifying a national to be a pastor  to his own community.  Our team has already identified three nationals in three communities in La Ceiba.  Church plants are underway!

We started our search with a broad tour of La Ceiba.  We drove through close to a dozen different communities that were possibilities.  From there we have prayed and talked and prayed and talked some more.  We have narrowed it down to 4 or 5 communities.  This week we are out in communities interviewing leadership (business owners, school directors, and patrinatos (think "mayor" of the community)) to understand each community's needs and if we would be welcome.   

 "We believe that God's grace, demonstrated to us in the radical love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, has the  power to transform our world.  Our mission is to build church-planting movements, whose energy continues to grow far into the future, long after we may be gone  to transform our world. Vibrant, nationally-led churches around the world will grow and multiply, transforming the culture around them."
