ABOUT US
Remember Hurricane Mitch? In 1998, following this dreadful
hurricane, much of the infrastructure of Honduras was
destroyed, leaving thousands homeless, jobless &
hungry.
Some of
our board of directors, assisting other mission groups,
were appalled by the destruction, devastation &
poverty left in the wake of that hurricane. We felt God's
calling to go a step further to help improve the lives of
these dear people. Hence, in 2002, a mission house was
built in the village of Bonitillo, enabling us to take
down volunteer groups & work in the surrounding
villages. The love and gratitude of the Hondurans has been
a blessing to us.
Praise
the Lord, Thanks to many willing workers and donations, We
at BHM are proud to say the school is open!
The New
school called "Escuela Privada Nuevo Horizonte"
was opened in February 2007, we now have put in one full
year and have started the next term. We are running Grades
1-3 with 85 students with plans to add one more grade each
year. We are so excited to carry on the Lord's work and
educate these precious children at the same time. What a
lasting effect this will have. The school opens up endless
possibilities in our village of Bontillio.
The school is funded by a sponsorship program which is
$30.00/month, this helps to cover the costs of the
teachers and supply the children with uniforms & shoes
and all the books and materials for the year.
Please contact us if your are interested in investing in a
child's future.
This year we were also thrilled to be able to purchase a
school bus for the children from other villages that
attend our school. We also built a playground which will
give the children many hours of enjoyment.
The Harvest
If you are thinking a year ahead, sow a seed. If you
are thinking ten years ahead, plant a tree. If you are
thinking one hundred years ahead, educate the people. By
sowing once, you will harvest once. By planting a tree,
you will harvest tenfold. By educating the people, you
will harvest one hundred fold.
