#PrayForhonduras
We ask you to join us in praying with our partners, friends and family in #Nicaragua & #Honduras. This years storms have already produced lots of damage and destroyed many bridges, homes, and nation wide infrastructure.
#Eta made landfall as one of the strongest storms of the season in a year already devastated by other storms, economic impact and travel shutdowns due to the pandemic. #Iota only worsened a bad situation.
The effects are only beginning to be felt along the northern coast of Honduras where we work.
Please keep the Connect Global team & the nations of Central America in your prayers.
Connect Global staff and volunteers have continued joining pastors and church members from all over the department of Atlantida to serve the towns hardest hit by Hurricane Eta and Iota.
They have been delivering mattresses, clothing items, family food rations, purified water and the group is delivering the hope and love of Jesus to people right where they are.
Our convoy has passed many devastated villages and homes on their way to the designated meeting place. This week they also joined the team from La Masica to make homemade pizzas to hand out.
Many homes are completely destroyed. There is still much work to do and we are preparing now for the long term relief efforts such as urban farms.
Please continue to pray with us and our teams as we serve and give to those who have been affected not only by the storms but also by 8 months of lockdown due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic.

Thousands of Hondurans have been drastically affected by the Coronavirus pandemic, economic downturn, violence, and a devastating Hurricane Season.
Many people have lost their jobs, many homes were swept away in the flooding along with their sense of security.
Our aim at Connect Global is to restore hope those who have lost so much. To provide not only immediate assistance but also long term support in the way of sustainable food, and resources.
