We are always excited to see and hear updates from hardworking individuals in La Ceiba Honduras.
Pastor Fredy Ventura runs a local kitchen which serves the citizens of La ceiba who are of the most food insecure in the community. You might remember that our most recent team from the World Race had a chance to serve there in April.
They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner - 7 days a week.
He shared this update on his Facebook Page yesterday:
This local kitchen is preparing, and serving 350 meals a day on a budget that comes solely from local and international donors added to what he contributes. We are happy to be connected to his ministry and look forward to serving him in just a couple of weeks during our next Mission Trip to La Ceiba Honduras.
In February 2021 the Connect Global team was able to start the school year off by assuming the financial and logistical responsibilities of a school, Las Huellas Del Maestro, which as of March 1st, 2021 has 172 students as a part of expanding our ongoing commitment to education and care for children.
This year was a very blessed year for Connect Global thanks to your support.
One of the main ways Connect Global has been able to reach the surrounding communities of La Ceiba, Honduras and really make an impact is by advocating for education. We have been involved in supporting education in Honduras since Connect Global was formed, and we have a very special group of partners and supporters in the US and Honduras who have partnered with us on this cause since the 2017 school year..
Connect Global has partnered with several dedicated pastors, and church leaders to help bring relief to those in need during this global crisis. Thank You to everyone who has given to make this possible.
Connect Global has been able to help pastors who are in need while they continue to serve their churches as best as they can and we couldn’t do what we do without you.
We have been able to help families who are in need, and one of those families is the Valiente Family.
Of the hundreds of stops we’ve made to personally distribute food and other basic necessities to our friends, neighbors and families in need the Valiente Family may be one of my most fun and treasured memories.
Señora Rosita Valiente, who has accomplished 72 years of life, told me she was born in to the circus business and has loved entertaining families all across the nation her entire life.
Together we have already provided thousands of meals to people in need. We have worked with several local leaders to ensure we are getting to those in need and that we are doing it safely and securely. As the lockdown is extended this week in La Ceiba, Connect Global plans to continue purchasing and distributing as many Family Sized Meal Kits as possible, and we wouldn’t be able to help these families without the generosity of so many both in the US and here in Honduras.
One of the main ways Connect Global has been able to reach the communities and really make an impact is through education. We have been involved in supporting education in Honduras since Connect Global was formed, and we have a very special group of partners and supporters in the US that have championed a Student Scholarship at 2 different schools.
Connect Global will be hosting a Missions Conference on AUGUST 20 AND 21 in San Juan Pueblo Honduras
We are very excited to be putting together a special time of practical training and spiritual encouragement for the Church leaders of Honduras.
