Overview
Mission
Casa Bethesda is established to provide a stable Christian home and education to at risk children and youth where they can grow to become strong Christian leaders. As an integral part of the community, our home teaches by Christ's example in loving our neighbor. We extend love to those around us by meeting the basic needs of marginalized people, providing assistance with food, shelter, education, healthcare, and disaster relief. We offer family assistance to the children in our home, as well as provide outreaches in the form of community development projects and other humanitarian aid as specific needs are identified.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, Casa Bethesda gave employment to more than 20 people thus enabling them to feed and provide for their families. Honduras is one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere and particularly our location is rural and remote and job opportunities are few. We fed, housed, provided education and spiritual leadership full time to 6 girls ranging in age from 3-19. 5 of these girls were baptized by a visiting Pastor this past year. Additionally our home was a place to recuperate for children and their families from outside the area that needed medical care. Workers' children as well as neighborhood children utilize and enjoy Casa Bethesda as a safe space to roam hills, enjoy jungle treks, and have a hot meal. We regularly provided food, clothing, school supplies, to the poorest families in our area as well as families in the large city nearby that live along the garbage dump. Casa Bethesda also helped various people in paying for medical care and surgeries. One particular surgery for a young man literally saved his life. Without the help of Casa Bethesda, surgery for a bone that was continually growing in his head meant death would not have been possible. His eyesight, stability, and mobility had already been affected. The young man has fully recovered and is able to work and provide for his family thankfully. We are thankful to have continued with impacting lives one person at a time here on the north coast of Honduras.
