Two Locations. One Mission.

Immediately after Hurricane Mitch in November, 1998, approximately 300 people fled the devastation to find a safer and drier place to live. These people, in hopes of starting again, invaded the land high above the capital city. This rocky, undeveloped area overlooked Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Today, the area houses 200,000 plus people.  Still, most people living in the capital city of Tegucigalpa do not even know that this area exists. The people are some of the poorest in Honduras living on $1 a day, yet they live within sight of a prospering city.

We work on the mountain, not to change their culture or make them into Americans like us, but to help them develop a lasting and sustaining relationship with Jesus Christ. Then, whether they stay in Mogote or Cabañas, or move on, they have everything they need for success. With the help of God and people from all over the world, we will continue to press forward until we see Him in the people of Mogote on the mountain.

Colonia Nueva España

Our dream was to have a building that would help us help the people of the project area.  We asked the governing body of the colonia if we could purchase a lot to build a small kitchen in order to prepare the meals for the children in the school each day. They would not hear of it….we could not purchase it.  Instead, they gave it to us. Great!

The Center of Life and Hope is located on property immediately adjacent to the public school in Colonia Nueva España. Today, the Hope Center houses the offices for our Administration, classrooms for all the education programs, a general medical clinic and an amazing shop for maintenance.

Colonia Jose Trinidad Cabañas

In January, 2015, we purchased the property for our second location on a very busy street at the top of the mountain from Hope Center, Colonia Jose Trinidad Cabañas. It is about two miles further up the mountain. Eight colonias (neighborhoods) come together at this location.

This campus is not as large as the one in Colonia Nueva España, but has facilities for our Desarrolo Infantil (Child Development), a medical clinic, the kitchen for feeding in the streets and an office for the Life & Hope Program which cares for the spiritual and emotional needs of the residents in the area.
