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.
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.
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 Maternity Home ministry allows Connect Global the access to serve both moms and newborns with great care and dignity while sharing the good news of Jesus with employees, hospital staff and each mom and their children.
We have been honored to serve over 280 moms so far since we opened in September. Each mom is cared for deeply and given an opportunity to rest and recover in a clean and safe environment while their babies are cared for in the hospital NICU.
Our team is committed to serving the moms in our care with love and grace. If you would like the opportunity to invest in the care of these moms, you can do so by making a donation online, or by planning on coming on one of the several mission trips we have scheduled this year.
We would love for you to be a part of this life changing ministry.
“Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
