In January 2010 a team from MGEFC was privilaged to visit Choluteca, Honduras in order to give aid to families affected by HIV/AIDS.

About the Mission Field

The Honduran people are in need of God's love and support. In 1998, while combating extreme poverty, the needs there reached a heightened level of urgency when Hurricane Mitch devastated many areas of the country. Because of these needs, MGEFC has partnered with the Great Commission Church in Choluteca, Honduras and for the last four years mission teams from MGEFC have been blessed with opportunities to help many families with medical, financial, emotional, and spiritual assistance. While working with the GCC the mission team was able to reach many children and young people and act as the hands and feet of Jesus as they loved and shared the gospel.

The teams sent are also partnered with Casa Hogar Vida, a ministry that is devoted to families who are afflicted with HIV/AIDS and children who have lost family members to the disease. Recently teams finished construction of two new homes at Casa Hogar Vida and also helped move the first two families in. Through this work, the teams were blessed by the receiving families as they shared how their faith in the Lord has changed their lives. Future teams will be assisting with many building/maintenance projects at Casa Hogar Vida, as well as helping with the orphanage that is currently under construction. Future teams will also help with evangelism outreach through the Great Commission Church (GCC) in Choluteca and the surrounding areas. This includes ministering/evangelizing to malnourished children and supporting a local daycare for parents who are employed by the tortilla factory and bakery.
