    Living Hope Honduras began in the Spring of 2004 to reach out to the youth of the capital city  of Tegucigalpa.

    You will conduct a 3-day children's program at the youth center, lead a children's program at a government sponsored daycare, and minister to children as well as help with the grounds of a nearby orphanage. Your team will get to know the youth of Honduras as you go on an overnight retreat with those your own age. You will have the opportunity to visit in the homes of some of the most gracious and loving Christians you'll ever meet and worship with these brothers and sisters in Christ at the Living Hope Christian Church.

    Construction opportunities will be a part of this project.  Your team will build a home or do much needed repairs to homes. There will be time to relax at the beautiful beach of Playa Guayaba and souvenir shopping at Valley of the Angels. The Living Hope Honduras youth center will be the accommodations for your stay.  A parting banquet awaits you with authentic Honduras cuisine.
