Giving the Gift of Vision

Connect Global was able to give glasses to and improve vision for seniors in need.

There are many ways that Connect Global has chosen to help and raise up the communities in Honduras. We have many large projects, but you may be surprised to find out that along the way we also find other ways to make a difference as well.

One of the ways we recently supported the communities in Honduras was by bringing new eye glasses to a senior home. These glasses were donated to Connect Global, and we knew that we had the perfect recipients. We have been visiting this special home over the past year and providing many different valuable gifts to this amazing group.

Kids are back to class in La Ceiba, Honduras

In addition to these glasses we have also provided a fully functional aquaponic food system. This is a supplement to the homes already functioning chicken coops and in ground gardens. This is a way for the home to provide some extra proteins and fresh veggies to an already vulnerable group of people and help ensure a nutritious diet.

A quality of life improvement is easier to achieve than you may think.

We are grateful for you and for all the supporters we have been so fortunate to have been backed by over the years. We are always on the look out for more ways to support and help these communities and will always share with you the success of those outreaches and how you can plug in to. If you are able to give a donation whether it is financial or something like glasses, electronics, or medial supplies please click the donation button below or send us an email. Thank You

Connect Global Visit to the School in El Tamarindo Honduras

Connect Global Loves to support local schools in Honduras.

We believe that education is one of the keys to unlocking the amazing potential that is in each of us. Connect Global partners with 2 schools in La Ceiba to facilitate several students education and supplies. Thank You to our sponsors for making this school year a possible.

The Kids were very happy to welcome our team.

Every child deserves to get a quality education. We sponsor education initiatives and provide resources when and where we can This past August the team was able to hand out free school supplies to help kick-start the new school year.  

No gift to a child is too small.

We all loved to be loved. Kids are not the exception they are the rule to this quote. Our team provided tangible gifts but were also able to give a hug, and a smile to let them know that We care and that God cares for them.

They are special and they are blessed to be a blessing and we are happy to have been able to share this truth with them.

Connect Global is taking time to honor and celebrate moms this month. We asked our moms (and several other moms we know) a few Questions to get a conversation started about what is important in life and what moms want to see in the world for themselves, and most importantly for their children. Hope you enjoy and please take a minute to ask your mom questions like these from time to time, you may be delightfully surprised by what you learn your mom!

1. Describe a time in your life you really needed someone and they came through for you? 

In my third year of college, which also happened to be my senior year of college, I was lost, on the wrong path, hanging out with the wrong people, and doing the wrong things. I didn’t think I needed anyone but looking back, I desperately needed someone to help open my eyes and pull me out of the mess I was in. My older brother, Kris, came through for me then. He loved me through it, spoke the truth I needed to hear, and helped point me in the right direction. Because of his courage to step up and say something, I was able to get on the path I was supposed to be on all along.

2. Who is a woman in your life that has been especially influential in your life? 

As cliche as it sounds, my mom. She has always been there, whether it was with the perfect advice at just the right time, offering her ears to just listen and a shoulder to cry on, and always giving more than I deserve. She’s taught me things as simple as how to cook and clean for my household, all the way to how a family should love and care. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her constant love, support, teaching, and guiding hand.

3. What books by female authors have you read, and what books did you find impactful? 

Some of my favorites by female authors have been “You are a Badass” and “You are a Badass at Making Money” by Jen Sincero, “Brunette Ambition” by Lea Michele, “Staying Stylish” by Candace Bure, and “The Battlefield of the Mind” by Joyce Meyer. I loved all of these for different reasons. There were things I could learn about business, every day, and my walk with God. But I do remember after reading “Brunette Ambition” being fired up to live my best life. Eat healthy, stay active, chase after my dreams like never before. Something about hearing Lea’s story ignited a fire to go after mine. 

4. WHERE DO YOU DRAW ENCOURAGEMENT FROM? 

A few places. First and foremost from God. Then from my husband and daughter, and finally community of people around me. I’m so thankful for my people and who I get to do life with.

5. WHAT PROJECT, HOBBY, OR MISSION ARE YOU ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT OR INVOLVED IN RIGHT NOW? 

Our next big project is transforming our guest bedroom into a nursery next month for our baby boy who is due this July! We are excited to welcome another boy into the family and watch our daughter, Adelaide, be a big older sister. So that’s definitely taking up a lot of our focus and excitement right now!

6. WHAT DOES THE WORLD NEED MORE OF RIGHT NOW? 

Love. Definitely love. The real and true love. Not the love that takes advantage, manipulates, or is based on conditions. But the love that says, “I will be there for you no matter what you do or say, today, tomorrow, next year.” That patient, kind, never failing love.

7. WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST FOR YOUR CHILDREN? 

For them to go after their dreams with all they have and not stop until they achieve them. And then make new ones and achieve those too. I want them to know that the old, traditional ways are being redefined and they can truly do anything.

8. NAME SOMETHING YOU BOUGHT FOR YOURSELF THAT YOU LOVE.

I bought myself bowls and spoons made from real coconuts that I’m obsessed with. I’m a foodie so I put smoothies, salads, you name it, in them and always take pictures of my creations. The plus side is they are eco-friendly and beautiful. (Go check out Coconut Bowls if you want to see for yourself!)

9. NAME 2 THINGS YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT MONEY COULDN’T BUY AND WHY THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO YOU.

Family and community. With these two aspects in my life, I know I will never have to face anything alone, I always have someone I can turn to, and I will never be in need. In today’s world, families are falling apart more than ever and being able to turn to mine (husband, parents, cousins, aunts, etc) daily gives me hope and strength. I also think everyone should have some sort of community. A tribe of people who they do life with. Sometimes it changes, but the depth of those relationships are always so vital in different seasons. I have close friends that I can ask for anything and they would be there, and that’s huge.

1. Describe a time in your life you really needed someone and they came through for you?

We're all in this together.

4. WHERE DO YOU DRAW ENCOURAGEMENT FROM? 

my encouragement comes from my family, my God-fearing friends, and daily reminding myself who I am in Christ...when the wheels fall off, a brownie helps :)

5. WHAT PROJECT, HOBBY, OR MISSION ARE YOU ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT OR INVOLVED IN RIGHT NOW? 

Our business venture occupies most of our time. But I do enjoy volunteering at the school, and we are prayerfully considering where to serve next.

1. Describe a time in your life you really needed someone and they came through for you?

1. Describe a time in your life you really needed someone and they came through for you? 

I do not know if that time in my life has ended but my husband has been with me through all of the ups and downs of life. His love has made it possible for me to push through in the really hard times.

2. Who is a woman in your life that has been especially influential in your life? 

I think women, in general, are very inspirational, so much is excepted of us and somehow we manage to do it in heels! 

My mom is inspirational because even when there were so many times where I know she wanted to completely give up she chose not to for us. Life could have been very different for me and my siblings if she did not put her feelings to the side.

3. What books by female authors have you read, and what books did you find impactful? 

I think it’s cute that you think mothers have time to read 😊

4. WHERE DO YOU DRAW ENCOURAGEMENT FROM? 

From people in our lives who have the same vision and passion, we do for mission work.

5. WHAT PROJECT, HOBBY, OR MISSION ARE YOU ESPECIALLY EXCITED ABOUT OR INVOLVED IN RIGHT NOW? 

Connect Global is one that I’m especially excited about because I personally know the literal blood, sweat and tears it took to make it what it is today. All for the purpose of having a mission organization that creates solutions to solvable problems around the world. When the lights go on in someone’s head and they realize their gifts and talents can have an immeasurable impact on others that gets me excited!

6. WHAT DOES THE WORLD NEED MORE OF RIGHT NOW? 

The world needs more Peace and more Love. Sadly so many people due to their own insecurities do not love themselves which in turn makes it impossible for them to genuinely love someone else. Once we realize that humanity at large has the same dreams, desires, and aspirations I think violence, negativity, and hatred for other people, races or religions will decrease. That is my hope! 
 

7. WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST FOR YOUR CHILDREN? 

I want my daughter to be secure in who she is, to feel safe physically and emotionally and to always hold the Joy for life that she has right now at the age of 8.

8. NAME SOMETHING YOU BOUGHT FOR YOURSELF THAT YOU LOVE.

We bought a home last August after 11 years of marriage and though we have made every house our home this one is extra special.

9. NAME 2 THINGS YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT MONEY COULDN’T BUY AND WHY THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO YOU.

My husband and my daughter, they are the ones who can make any bad day a happy one, any sad situation better and the two people I wish I could spend every waking moment with! Their humor, their love, their acceptance and their kindness is something I know I am so blessed to have and I wouldn’t want to go through life without them

7. WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST FOR YOUR CHILDREN? 

My lifelong prayer for [my children] is for them to love Jesus more than anything else in this world

I deliberately try not to love things or to say I love things even to myself, But I really really really enjoy my one year Bible. I really enjoy my pool. I like my big round brush, my Vitamix and all the rocks that [my son] Terry polishes.

9. NAME 2 THINGS YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT MONEY COULDN’T BUY AND WHY THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO YOU.

My family and West Texas sunsets.
I love my family because I just do and they're my family. 
I love West Texas sunsets because they're beautiful, magnificent, and they make me think of God and how wonderful and creative He is.

Maybe he buys them for me because he knows how much I like them but maybe for himself because he likes them too
