Serving Christ and Loving our Neighbors in Honduras

Our Mission: Serving Christ by Serving Others

Founded in 1999 by Gary and Cheryl Kuney, Gathering Hearts exists to serve those in great need in Honduras—spiritually, physically, and financially. We follow Jesus' example of love and compassion by bringing hope to those who need it most. From vocational training to medical clinics, every effort we make is designed to share the Gospel while meeting essential human needs. Our ultimate goal is to empower lives through the message of Christ and practical community development.


“I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.”
– John 4:35

Sharing the Gospel since 1999 through vocational training, youth education, medical care, and more! Located just 20 minutes south of Puerto Cortes, Honduras.

Why Honduras?

Honduras is a country of beautiful people, but it faces significant challenges. It is ranked as the second-poorest country in Central America, with widespread poverty affecting access to clean water, quality medical care, and education. Many face struggles such as lack of sufficient income, food insecurity, and a scarcity of healthcare. The people of Honduras also need to hear the hope of the Gospel.



At Gathering Hearts, we see not just the challenges, but the incredible opportunities to make a difference. We’re called to bring God’s love to every corner of Honduras, to meet needs and change lives in His name.

The Needs Are Great, But So Are the Opportunities

Last week was one of our most successful times of evangelism with hundreds of people coming to the Lord Jesus Christ. Memorial Heights Baptist Church of Claremore, OK, came with a passion for souls. Despite this heat, the team of nineteen divided up with our church people from TEE and canvassed the villages going door to door and person to person, just like Gary has done for years. The exciting difference is this canvasing was multiplied by nineteen! I can’t help but believe that this rich harvest of souls was the result of six months of praying. The members of TEE brought names of people that they knew who did not know Christ (226) and they were posted on a tree in the church. Each name was prayed for for months. Pastor Nelson Osorto organized all the names geographically along with the person who brought those names. The members from TEE accompanied a Memorial Heights Baptist team to visit all these people. There were hundreds of salvations that were documented. Bob Howell, MHBC Children’s Minister, also went into the schools and many of those students responded to the Gospel. The team held a Vacation Bible School in the afternoons at our campus with ninety-eight children attending. We hope to incorporate some of their program into our Children's Ministry.

Christ Presbyterian Church was so kind to donate over 600 Christmas gifts to the children of Honduras! However, due to unforeseen shipping issues, there was a significant delay (and cost) in receiving them. The container eventually made it to us and we were able to distribute the gifts. Our focus was two-fold: to make sure the children receiving the gifts heard the Gospel, and to make sure the poorest of kids received gifts. Praise God we were able to accomplish these goals! We made stops in Tronconeras, El Sauce, and Las Urupas. These are generally poor colonias. All the children that received presents were so thankful! We still have some more gifts and plan to distribute them next week in 6 de Mayo. Below are some photos from the wonderful day! Click to expand.
