Tropical storm Sara hit the northern coast of Honduras on November 14, 2024 dropping 41 inches of rain in two days! The river overflowed its banks and came rushing through the village of Rio Viejo causing extensive damage to our infrastructure as land eroded and fences fell. One of the duplexes at our new family housing collapsed into the rushing water along with our bridge as...

Our 2024 team season ended with a bang as we hosted a combined medical group from Healing Place Church (Baton Rouge, LA) and Celebration Church (Shreveport, LA). Monday and Tuesday we saw patients at the hospital and Wednesday and Thursday we were out in the communities of El Naranjo and El Paraiso. The providers and team members gave consults, prayed with patients, and our w...

After the team’s traveling perseverance and a late arrival, they gathered Sunday morning for church. As the internet connection was out, we made a last minute schedule change and ended up doing introductions instead. As we went around the circle, sharing backgrounds and what had brought each of us to be in Honduras this week, it became clear that God gave us this time for his...

Each year we have the honor of hosting a group from our Alma Mater, Lee University.

The team sent down so many school supplies and items before the conference to prepare gift bags and door prizes. Our long t...

Here we go again! Our first team of the season was a medical group from River Valley along with two dentists and their families. River Valley Church always sends an amazing group with so many different specialties represented: Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Urology, Dentistry, and Nursing. With these powers combined, we are able to provide much needed...

February was filled with some incredible work around the Jungle Hospital, and we were able to host many visitors that came prepared to serve. Since the expansion project dream began years ago, we have long awaited families to live in the newly constructed houses, and this February, Caleb and Lauren arrived along with their two children, Randi and Beckham, as the first long-ter...

If you have been following the expansion project progress over the last few years, then you know we have had so many awesome things going on in Rio Viejo! Last April we began the huge task of changing the leaky, termite-eaten hospital roof, adding a second story to the building, and renovating the current hospital space. This project is nearing the end (can I get an AMEN) tha...
