Update on The Roof Project for Pastor Fredy at the Comedor de JesuCristo in La Ceiba

​We have been able to help Pastor Fredy with the first phase of the Roof project.

We were able to visit his church on Saturday and see that there is still much progress to be made. We sat in service and were rained on under the yet to be replaced roof. It was great to see first hand the severity of the need as well as the steadfastness of the Pastor and church as they did not let this major inconvenience affect them. Their ministry continues despite the heavy rains.

Please help Connect Global reach our goal and complete the roof. 

PASTOR FREDY VENTURA IS A VERY DEDICATED SERVANT TO THE PEOPLE OF LA CEIBA.

He is a man that holds in very high regard the responsibility God has bestowed upon him. His work is run on Faith in God alone. 

7 DAYS A WEEK AND 24 HOURS A DAY, PEOPLE IN LA CEIBA CAN COME TO THE COMEDOR DE JESUCRISTO AND RECEIVE A MEAL.

There are three designated meal times set aside to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, however, because of a rotation of volunteer pastors and church leaders, they will serve a meal to someone in need at any time of day or night. 

The location is centrally located and easy to access. There are no forms to sign, or agreements between those serving and those eating. They have stripped everything down to a basic service of feeding the hungry. At each meal the word of God is preached, and food is served. They do so based on a belief of biblical scriptures instructing them to do so.

Update on Pastor Fredy at the Comedor de JesuCristo in La Ceiba

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. 

CPR Training at the Police Department in La Ceiba Honduras

Last year we introduced you to our friends at the La Ceiba Honduras Police department.  

We made a great connecting with their leadership and wanted to serve the department at a greater capacity.  

Our organization has donated time and resources to renew their on site clinic  as well as have a medical exam table donated. 

The police in La Ceiba, as like any department, are tasked with a very difficult and dangerous job. These officers are diligent to serve their community and we are committed to serve them.  

This week we had the opportunity to engage on the next stage of our plan to serve and prepare this police force by teaching CPR and trauma training to their officers.  

Led by Brittany and Gretchen of our World Race group, our team taught the valuable life saving techniques of CPR to several of the departments officers.  

Patrolling the vast, populated, and rural area of La Ceiba with this new training will make missions safer and more productive.

The Police Department staff has described scenarios in which officers have lost their lives in the line of duty simply due to being too far from aid after taking gun fire. With this new training it should allow officers to receive better in field aid and allow officers a fighting chance when they encounter injuries. 

Thank you to all who have donated and served Connect Global.
