Templo Evangelico Emanuel Takes the Gospel to the Streets

Most of Honduras is considered evangelized, however, there is still a darkness covering many in that Christ is a religion but not a live person to them. This country continues to be a hub of corruption, crime, and drugs.

Our church, Templo Evangelical Emmanuel, has always had a bold witness among the villages with their humanitarian aid, village evangelism, and church plants, but September 24, the Day of the Bible, Pastor Nelson Osorto and the TEE church took a bold move, and went out into the streets with posters, music, and preaching. Pastor Nelson Osorto led his congregation enthusiastically and his wife Sonia led the parade. The young people participated and show a desire and boldness to reach their own people. 

Speaking in Churches

Gary and Cheryl at Crossover Bible Church in Tulsa, OK.

While the ministry has been expanding in Honduras, Gary and Cheryl have had speaking engagements in churches with their short stint in the states. In seven to ten minutes, they can convey what God is doing in Honduras and glorify God with His provision and abundance of new converts.  If your church or community group is interested in hearing about the ministry, we would love to share our story.

A Letter From the Board

With the expanding opportunities in  Gathering Hearts for Honduras, we, the Gathering Hearts Board, felt others would be interested in investing in the ministry's  needs of which now has the responsibility of paying the salary of twenty-two Honduran teachers and employees.  This runs around $8,574  per month. There is also a children’s feeding program and medical clinic, plus the monthly utility expenses.  The total amount of funds needed each month is $25,000.  Remarkably, this ministry has grown based on faith with few monthly commitments.  The Board believes now is the time to give others an opportunity to partner and invest in the growth of God’s Kingdom in Honduras.  This partnership would allow a more consistent basis for supporting the ministry. If you would like to join this opportunity and become a monthly investor in Gathering Hearts for Honduras, please email  GH4HSupport@gmail.com . Thank you for considering becoming a monthly partner investing towards God's work in the Gathering Hearts for Honduras ministry.

Consuelo: GHH Clinic Nurse and Much More

The great dental team that helped during the brigade.

Consuelo, our Mission Center nurse, has proved herself over the years to have a heart for God and a heart for her people. She not only runs the medical clinic, but is involved in nearly every aspect of the ministry. In July she organized a village wide dental brigade in the conference center. There is little or no dental care for the people that we serve here. As a result, people go with very painful, infected teeth that need to be pulled. Seeing the great need for dental care in our impoverished area, Consuelo set up a dental brigade with several dentists and dental interns.  Gratefully the dental brigade saw and treated 105 patients.  This not only helps the people, but connects us with dentists that could possibly help in the future.

Consuelo visiting Gladys

Many times, Consuelo will accompany Gary and Nelson into those hot villages and provide medical care and pray for the patients who cannot get to her for medical treatment at the Mission Center. One such example is Gladys, who seriously injured her leg in a car accident and should probably have been hospitalized. Consuelo faithfully goes and treats Gladys, as well as others. The recent medical team from Christ Presbyterian Church calls her the General, and that she is. She takes command of any situation and makes it work.

Temple Evangelical Emmanuel Celebrates 14 Years of Faith and Growth

By Cherl Kuney • May 6, 2025
On April 6, Temple Evangelical Emmanuel joyfully marked its 14th anniversary—a moment to celebrate all God has done and reflect on how far we’ve come. I couldn’t help but think back to those early days when only a handful of us gathered each Sunday. At the time, we had no idea that we were laying the groundwork for what would become a vibrant, growing congregation that now fills the sanctuary with worship and praise. This year, I sensed a renewed urgency to empower the church body. Rather than relying solely on Pastor Nelson, Gary Kuney, or the leadership team, I challenged the members to see themselves as vessels—fully capable and called to share Christ within their own villages. Our focus shifted toward mobilizing the congregation to bring the Gospel to their neighbors, to step into the calling we all share as believers. Gary and Cheryl carry a deep sense of urgency for church members to take personal responsibility for evangelizing their friends and family and reaching their village with the hope of Christ. Their passion is a reminder that the Great Commission is for all of us. Step out in faith. Share your story. Be the light. The response has been deeply encouraging. Many who only recently came to faith are now boldly going out to share the Good News. Watching them embrace this mission with passion and joy has been a powerful reminder that God doesn’t call the equipped—He equips the called. What a blessing it is to witness this new wave of evangelism, led by ordinary people stepping into an extraordinary purpose.
