Get Involved!
Gathering Hearts for Honduras is a non-profit organization. We depend on volunteers and donations from individuals, community organizations and businesses. Any contribution made can be used as a tax deduction at the end of the year.
This is an incredible opportunity to see your financial support make a difference. You can financially be involved in building the Mission Center or Dormitories. You will see the doors, the windows, the chairs your money purchased for the mission. Another, more personal touch, would be support the teachers and workers who are being used of God to further the ministry to the Honduran people.

When teams come to work we have always had them live in our rental home which had additional dormitory style apartment attached to the home. Our goal is to live on site in the Mission Center, which is almost completed and have the teams live within the secure compound working with the people. In order to reach this goal, we are needing to build the dormitories to house the teams enabling the teams to maximize their mission trip for the Gospel of Christ. This is a great area of faith and prayer for the dormitories to be built. If you are led to be a part in funding these dormitories, please contact us.
