My burden is to help establish New Testament Churches here in Honduras. During the time that I have been here it has become apparent that I can best do that by finding and working with native Honduran men who are saved and called by God to be Pastors. The pastors with whom I work are those who are not waiting for someone to come do the work for them but who are already busy evangelizing, winning converts and training them in spiritual matters. With some further training and encouragement these pastors can do a much better job dealing with their own people, with the cultural and language differences and with the bureaucracy that exists here than I ever could.

As the churches grow we encourage them to not only duplicate themselves but to do missionary work here and eventually in other places.

We also want to do, as a ministry of these local churches, some humanitarian work. Feeding kitchens in some very poor areas, child sponsorship programs, and construction of some small homes for the needy are examples of things we have done previously and will continue to do whenever possible.
