An Update on Ministry in Honduras and the USA- 10.2023

Templo Evangelico Emanuel Takes the Gospel to the Streets

Most of Honduras is considered evangelized, however, there is still a darkness covering many in that Christ is a religion but not a live person to them. This country continues to be a hub of corruption, crime, and drugs.

Our church, Templo Evangelical Emmanuel, has always had a bold witness among the villages with their humanitarian aid, village evangelism, and church plants, but September 24, the Day of the Bible, Pastor Nelson Osorto and the TEE church took a bold move, and went out into the streets with posters, music, and preaching. Pastor Nelson Osorto led his congregation enthusiastically and his wife Sonia led the parade. The young people participated and show a desire and boldness to reach their own people. 

Speaking in Churches

Gary and Cheryl at Crossover Bible Church in Tulsa, OK.

While the ministry has been expanding in Honduras, Gary and Cheryl have had speaking engagements in churches with their short stint in the states. In seven to ten minutes, they can convey what God is doing in Honduras and glorify God with His provision and abundance of new converts.  If your church or community group is interested in hearing about the ministry, we would love to share our story.

A Letter From the Board

With the expanding opportunities in  Gathering Hearts for Honduras, we, the Gathering Hearts Board, felt others would be interested in investing in the ministry's  needs of which now has the responsibility of paying the salary of twenty-two Honduran teachers and employees.  This runs around $8,574  per month. There is also a children’s feeding program and medical clinic, plus the monthly utility expenses.  The total amount of funds needed each month is $25,000.  Remarkably, this ministry has grown based on faith with few monthly commitments.  The Board believes now is the time to give others an opportunity to partner and invest in the growth of God’s Kingdom in Honduras.  This partnership would allow a more consistent basis for supporting the ministry. If you would like to join this opportunity and become a monthly investor in Gathering Hearts for Honduras, please email  GH4HSupport@gmail.com . Thank you for considering becoming a monthly partner investing towards God's work in the Gathering Hearts for Honduras ministry.

Consuelo: GHH Clinic Nurse and Much More

The great dental team that helped during the brigade.

Consuelo, our Mission Center nurse, has proved herself over the years to have a heart for God and a heart for her people. She not only runs the medical clinic, but is involved in nearly every aspect of the ministry. In July she organized a village wide dental brigade in the conference center. There is little or no dental care for the people that we serve here. As a result, people go with very painful, infected teeth that need to be pulled. Seeing the great need for dental care in our impoverished area, Consuelo set up a dental brigade with several dentists and dental interns.  Gratefully the dental brigade saw and treated 105 patients.  This not only helps the people, but connects us with dentists that could possibly help in the future.

Consuelo visiting Gladys

Many times, Consuelo will accompany Gary and Nelson into those hot villages and provide medical care and pray for the patients who cannot get to her for medical treatment at the Mission Center. One such example is Gladys, who seriously injured her leg in a car accident and should probably have been hospitalized. Consuelo faithfully goes and treats Gladys, as well as others. The recent medical team from Christ Presbyterian Church calls her the General, and that she is. She takes command of any situation and makes it work.

We are deeply indebted to Denny Boersema and Southern Heights Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan, for their ongoing partnership with Gathering Hearts for Honduras. Denny has faithfully invested in our teachers—training, encouraging, and walking alongside them in both their professional growth and their walk with the Lord. Since many of our teachers are not professionally trained, having Denny—a seasoned educator—pour into them has been an incredible answer to prayer. In his own words, “I spent a lot of time one-on-one with the teachers about their teaching habits.” But Denny’s impact goes even further. He has built meaningful relationships with both teachers and students, inspiring them to pursue education and deepen their faith. Over the years, Denny has made 31 trips to GHH—helping with construction, teaching in our church (Templo Evangelical Emmanuel), and equipping young people with skills they might otherwise never have the chance to acquire. Truly, his sacrificial time and commitment are a treasure to this community and Gathering Hearts for Honduras.

A Team on Mission: Faith, Healing & A Bold Witness In June, a mission team from Christ Presbyterian Church in Tulsa, OK returned to Honduras—many of them veterans of past trips—to serve both medically and spiritually in the villages. Their hearts for the people of Honduras were on full display as they poured themselves out through long hours of ministry, even serving one day without power. Some team members ventured out to a remote, impoverished village to bring medical help and the message of Christ. Others stayed behind to treat patients at our mission center. Everywhere they went, they carried the Gospel.

God is moving in powerful and personal ways across Honduras—and your prayers and support have helped prepare the way. In this special update, we want to share a story of true Kingdom partnership: from a visiting mission team faithfully sharing the Gospel one-on-one, to a local discipleship team returning to help new believers grow in their faith. It’s a beautiful picture of the body of Christ working together, and it’s only the beginning.

From village paths to ocean shores, the Memorial Heights Baptist Church team made an eternal impact during their mission trip to Honduras (May 29–June 5). Through evangelism, worship, and baptisms, lives were changed, faith was strengthened, and the Gospel was proclaimed in powerful ways. Here's a look at how God moved throughout the week.
