Connected Community
In 2016 Connect Global partnered with the Community Water District in El Tamarindo to support a plan to give water to the residents of this remote and very water insecure town. In August of 2018 & 2019, Connect Global helped complete the most recent phases of this current plan to bring water to 2 communities near the original well that was dug. In August 2020 we plan to visit with a Honduran Mission Team and continue our work in this area of need. Thank You for your support.
In 2015, Connect Global launched an initiative in Honduras we call Connected Community. As a part of our ongoing support and investment into the Community of La Ceiba, Honduras our team has provided medic training for several members of the local police department. Since then we have also engaged with the Fire Department El Porvenir to provide fire suits, medical equipment, and other job related support like communication radios and most recently an ambulance.
One special story we want to share with you is the Story of Blanca.
We have been honored to serve 300 moms so far since we opened in September. Blanca stayed with us for 20 days while her child received intensive care. Angel was born with some extra health needs and received care in Atlántida for an unknown stomach issue. The hospital worked diligently and determined he would need to head to San Pedro Sula, 3 hours away, to receive more specialized treatment. The initial prognosis was not good.
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 there are many needs and we are happy to jump in and serve where we can in addition to our day to day responsibilities of building Connect Global.
Each Sunday our team gathers with several volunteers and heads out of the Maternity Home. They make a small meal or snack, brew some coffee and head out into the corridors of the Hospital. They offer the patients and their family something to eat and a drink, and offer prayer for them personally or for their loved ones who are in the middle of maybe the worst storms of their lives.
The Connect Global team joined Maternity Home staff member Karina in El Pino for a joyous time celebrating the children of the community.

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.”
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.
Come be the answer to a prayer you didn’t even know someone was praying.

In addition to this 24/7 care we also visit the General Hospital of Atlántida here in La Ceiba. We offer food, and prayer to the patients and their families as well as hand out bibles to those who desire one. One of the ways we have been able to serve the frontline healthcare workers in our city is by providing gloves, masks, blood pressure monitor supplies, and hospital gowns.

Inspired by the amazing work that continues in the local hospital in La Ceiba Connect Global has chosen to serve these hardworking professionals. Against all odds they fight this battle day in and day out. The Hospital Staff have done such a great job taking care of patients and we want to continue to support these precious frontline workers.
Janeth Montoya, our friend, and longtime volunteer has become the Director of The Maternity Home in Honduras with Connect Global, please join us in welcoming her to the team.
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.
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.
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.

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.
