What it reported doing in 2021
Mission - honduras teaching principles of christian ethics to congregations of 11 churchs with congregations ranging in size from 50-350, located in the mountains of honduras. Additional aid was given to churches and distributed to the local population in the shanty town (solar power, blankets, matresses, etc) and assistance to feed the poor looking for food in the city dumps. Assistance was given to build shelters under which to worship.teaching/speaking before various groups including the honduran military, large city gatherings and high schools. Carol once again visited amapala island(tiger island) located 10 milesoffshore in the pacific and spoke to both the personel on the naval base located on the island and to the civilian population including leaders of(5) of the (6) churchs on the island. Sow is presently helping in the cost to operate an orphanage, to house and feed orphans and street children on amapala island. The orphanage was completed in 2018 and certified by the honduran government and even though built to house 20 abandoned children the government has to date only placed 12 children full time in the orphanage. But in addition to housing the twelve children, the facility provided schooling, bible classes and a healthy meal to approximately 60 impoverished street children every day. In april 2018 the sow board approved 500 support monthly for 24 months for one of the mountain church pastors to go full time pastoring his church with the hope/goal that it will grow enough in two years to become self sufficient. That support ended in 2020. Because of the failing health of carol bailey, sow's director and the inability to find a suitable replacement, sow's board has decided to close down the ministry effective 9/30/21.
