We are grateful for all of our friends and family for the continued support, messages, gifts, and check ins. We are glad to be in La Ceiba full time again and looking forward to what is ahead.

We have 6 missions trips planned this year with 3 to La Ceiba, 1 to San Lorenzo, 1 to Spain, and 1 to Cuba.

Everyday here is wrought with potential for life changing ministry and opportunities to share love with others in both tangible and spiritual ways.

Jorge and Janeth were very instrumental in us getting a great place to rent and having it set up before we arrived

Even while helping us get internet installed and water connected our friend, and National Director, Jorge was able to share his testimony and encourage them. Later that afternoon Jorge invited the Tigo guys for lunch and they prayed together to accept Jesus.

God has some amazing ways of connecting us to those in need if we pay attention and make intentional decisions to follow through.

Our Co Founders and family (Travis, Gina, and Noah) were here with us to help us get our house feeling like a home and they were a great blessing. They helped us set up furniture and paint as well as many other projects to make sure we are set up.

We could not have made this move happen without many of you helping us and making our ministry here a priority. Thank You!


We believe local community leaders hold the key to unlocking exponential positive change and growth for La Ceiba. This community is a shining example of what can happen when we all choose to work together and focus on sustainable solutions.

We have been blessed to meet and work with many great community leaders over the years and we look forward to expanding our programs and completing new projects this year.

One program we are continuing to focus on is Launching a School of Missions in Honduras. This will help us Prepare & Equip Latin American Students to Reach the World through Missions.

We also have several mission trips planned this year where you can jump in and be a part of the success in La Ceiba. We will visit the Girls Home at La Masica, continue to work with the local Fire and Police Departments, Host our annual Mission Conference, as well as many practical projects such as, concrete floors, clean water projects, and more.

If you, your church or work group, or your family would like to join us you are welcome to visit the Connect Global Trips Page and find out more!

We are Currently recruiting high caliber Church leaders, Educators, Medical Professionals and Business leaders to come volunteer alongside us in this initiative. We need you to serve by sharing your skills and talents with the Community.

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

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. 

People wishing to get a meal do not need to do anything except show up.

Bible Passages to Ease your Anxiety

Bible Passages to Ease your Anxiety

The source of your anxiety, whatever it is, matters dearly to God. You can leave it to Him. If you need evidence of that, look up and around you. God cares for the birds of the air—the robins, the hummingbirds, even the vultures. Humans have greater value to Him than birds do, so how much more will He pay attention to your needs?

Make Someone Feel Special

Make Someone Feel Special

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

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

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.
