Urban Farm Project

Urban Farm Project

The Connect Global Team has been investing in Aquaponics since our inception. On our First Official Trip as 'Connect Global' to Cusuna, Honduras we built 5 aquaponic systems. We have learned a lot since then, and our friend and partner Jorge Amador has built many more complete systems and taught several people his skills as well. We plan to build and facilitate an Aquaponic Training Center in Honduras soon.

Supporting the Circus Amidst Covid-19

Supporting the Circus Amidst Covid-19

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.

COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund Update

COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund Update

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.

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.
