South Park - Honduras October 2016
Greetings,
Welcome to the 2016 Forest Hill Honduras Trip page! Our group from Forest Hill Church will be traveling to the Agua Calliente and Choluteca areas of Honduras. Our partner, Honduras Outreach International (HOI), will be running various work projects that benefit the overall health of those located in our partner villages. We will also interact with the children local churches and residents in the area! Please join this trip or donate to help each of us go deeper in Christ as we follow His command to be His Church.
Thank you for your prayers, and may God be Glorified!
Keith Patterson & Ted Hill will be leading this team and they can be contacted at [email protected] & [email protected]
Work Projects:
The team will serve alongside of HOI, focused on work projects at the home level, that help the overall health of a family such as cement floors, latrines, water pilas (holding tanks), and eco-stoves with chimneys and water filtration systems.
