We are deeply indebted to Denny Boersema and Southern Heights Church in Kalamazoo, Michigan, for their ongoing partnership with Gathering Hearts for Honduras. Denny has faithfully invested in our teachers—training, encouraging, and walking alongside them in both their professional growth and their walk with the Lord. Since many of our teachers are not professionally trained, having Denny—a seasoned educator—pour into them has been an incredible answer to prayer. In his own words, “I spent a lot of time one-on-one with the teachers about their teaching habits.” But Denny’s impact goes even further. He has built meaningful relationships with both teachers and students, inspiring them to pursue education and deepen their faith. Over the years, Denny has made 31 trips to GHH—helping with construction, teaching in our church (Templo Evangelical Emmanuel), and equipping young people with skills they might otherwise never have the chance to acquire. Truly, his sacrificial time and commitment are a treasure to this community and Gathering Hearts for Honduras.
God is moving in powerful and personal ways across Honduras—and your prayers and support have helped prepare the way. In this special update, we want to share a story of true Kingdom partnership: from a visiting mission team faithfully sharing the Gospel one-on-one, to a local discipleship team returning to help new believers grow in their faith. It’s a beautiful picture of the body of Christ working together, and it’s only the beginning.
From village paths to ocean shores, the Memorial Heights Baptist Church team made an eternal impact during their mission trip to Honduras (May 29–June 5). Through evangelism, worship, and baptisms, lives were changed, faith was strengthened, and the Gospel was proclaimed in powerful ways. Here's a look at how God moved throughout the week.
In Honduras, Holy Week is one of the most sacred and widely observed times of the year—celebrated with as much reverence and cultural significance as Christmas.
