Villeda Morales is a poor village located on the Southern outskirts of the city of Tegucigalpa about 10 minutes drive from the Toncontin International Airport. In some cases the poverty is extreme in others only moderate but that is by Honduran standards. If we were to compare the poverty to how most people live in the states, almost all would consider this extreme.
Urgent! - Children who have Lost their Sponsor |
When the water department of the Honduran Government built one of the reservoirs which serves a large part of the capital city of Tegucigala, they left one village completely cut off from the outside world. Today you can only enter the village of Jiniguare with special permission from the Engineer in charge or by special invitation from the President of the village council. The village has 35 houses, 35 children in a 1 room school house, about 50 children in total who live there. The pastor of the small Baptist Church alone has 12 children of which some have moved to the city to find work because he only has an income of $200 per month.
The houses are of adobe, a construction of clay mud bricks which are formed and left to dry in the sun, once dried they are stacked like blocks to make walls for the houses. The houses have clay tile roofs and most have dirt floors.
The people who live here make a living by various trades, some walk the 3 or so miles to the bus stop so that they can go to work in the city, others grow tomatoes, green peppers, cabbage and other vegatables which they take to sell to vendors in the marketplace in the city.
The professor of the school lives in Tegucigalpa, he rides the bus out to the village of La Nueva Concepcion then walks more than 3 miles each way to reach the small one room school house where he teaches grades 1 through 6 to his 35 attentative students. The village does have running water, a pretty amazing thing considering there is not any type of electricty to be found anywhere within the valley.
The children and families of Jiniguare will meet you with smiles and laughter and a strong God Bless You, many are Christians although some are not and it is for those who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior that we are here.
We pray that God will touch your heart as he has touched ours to sponsor one of these children.
"Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven." Henry Ward Beecher

Moroceli is a rural village in the eastern part of Honduras. Most anyone would pass right by this village and never see it or the poor people who live here.
There is only one place of employment in the town and it is the cigar factory. They reportedly make 14,000,000 cigars per year in a bad year. The workers hand role as many as 400 cigars per day. They are brands that any true cigar master would easily recognize. Some of these cigars sell for as much as $6.00 each at retail price in the United States and Europe, but the workers make $150 - $250 per month. Most earn less than $1 per hour.
Moreceli is a place with many needs but it's greatest need is Jesus. It is an agricultural area, with many farmers, wide open spaces and little opportunity. Poverty is everywhere and every water pot and bottle contained dirty water on a recent trip there. It is the county seat with 32 other smaller villages reporting to this municipality all equally poor and neglected. Many of the applications which we received in this village list no church or pastor but God is at work here through the Church of Amor Viviente which means Living Love or Love Alive. Amor Viviente is our partner, mine and your partner here in this community of neglected souls. Many of you can partner with us, because you have something that we do not have and that is the money to provide not every meal, but one meal a day.
Your help is needed, so that we can give these people a Center of Faith, Hope and Love. Will you be Jesus to those who have so great a need? Look into their eyes and tell them you will not. Look into their eyes and tell Jesus you can't.
