Education Brings Freedom

Education & Outreach

Education Changes Lives!

A strong education is a vital part of our kids growing into mature and confident adults. Education also helps them have livelihoods beyond subsistence farming. Our hope is that our kids will value education, work hard and have a vision for how they can use their education and skills to positively impact their world. 

Our kids are getting an excellent Honduran education.  We are doing on-site schooling of our K-6th grade students. This enables us to work with each child at their individual level. We are thankful for the wonderful and committed teachers who help us make this possible.  Our 7th-12th grade students are studying at Instituto El Rey.

Trade School Classes

Our newest outreach program is our Trade School classes. With this new facet of our ministry we aim to give our kids the skills they need to be successful, independent adults. We will teach basic trade skills, entrepreneurship and small business management.  As we grow this program, we hope to open our courses to the young people of our community as well.

We’re so excited to see how this ministry facet evolves and creates new avenues for success in our kids’ lives!

We'RE Looking for Short-term Instructors

Friday Night Youth Group

In November of 2011, we started our Friday Night Youth Group.  Now, every Friday evening, we welcome 80-100 young people onto our property.  Our goal is to show them God's love and purpose for their lives, in a way that's real and relevant.  We're already seeing this ministry make a difference in our area.  Not only has our Youth Group grown, but many of these young people are now passionately seeking to be discipled, to lead youth ministries in their home churches, and to serve in their communities.  

Community Classes

In 2009, we launched our first community outreach programs. We opened Lee's Library to our community and started teaching English classes in our village school.  A couple of years later we added computer classes for the village students.

English and computer skills have so much value in this culture.  They create opportunities that most of our village kids otherwise would not have, and help break the cycles of poverty.  We hope to spark young minds with enthusiasm for learning and broaden their horizons for the future!
