Can you count to 30? Or might you possibly like to do activities or play games with children while their parents are getting valuable health lessons which can improve their daily lives? Or are you able to give basic lessons on how to improve someone’s living conditions? If you are feeling God’s tug on your heart, perhaps you might consider going to Honduras with us in late February. Bring Good News, one of VCC’s supported missions, is leading a group to work with Felipe and Valerie Colby and the His Eyes team.

During our time there, we will help with medical brigades in smaller communities around the capital of Tegucigalpa. Each brigade starts with a worship time and health lessons in the mornings. After lunch, Honduran doctors see patients who often walk many miles in order to come for the brigade. Our team supports the doctors in various ways…as nurses, check-in people, go-fers, counting out pills in the pharmacy, or being an encourager. 

On non-brigade days, we may help at the milk project with the children or with distributions of food or clothing. We have also visited the government hospital to encourage the pediatric patients and their loved ones.

Going to Honduras on trips since 2005 has been very rewarding to me. God has fit me in well as a pharmacy tech of sorts (it must be my affinity to numbers!). We have made some good friends there -- I look forward to seeing them each time I go. The people of Honduras are a blessed people in spite of their limited physical possessions and it makes me appreciate what I have here at home even more. Relationships last. People matter. Houses and things…well, they take a back seat to the joy in a young Honduran boy or girl as you play with them and the smile on their parents’ faces.

BGN is leading a trip to Honduras February 26-March 5, 2022. Would you consider joining us? Or praying for those committed to going?  If you would like more information about the trip, contact Rick Wolford at   or me ( ).
