Overview

Mission

Heart to Honduras partners with churches, educational and civic organizations, individuals and businesses to help the Honduran people realize their potential and develop gifted and capable local leaders to become agents of change who will transform their world for Jesus Christ.

What it reported doing in 2025

Nine North American teams involving 114 people traveled to Central America to serve alongside local churches and individuals. These teams worked in tandem with Honduran community commissions to support healthy leadership, empower school leaders and local children, build community centers, provide clean water, repair a road, complete church construction, and improve the infrastructure at the ministry headquarters. They engaged in relationships that will help the locals identify their own resources and potential. Heart to Honduras arranges travel, lodging and meals through Honduran partner Corazn Para Honduras. More than 1,500 Hondurans were impacted by these group visits.
