Feeding 5000 in Honduras

Along the north coast of Honduras lie a string of remote villages. The Garifuna people living there are both welcoming and isolated. Inhabiting one of the most beautiful areas of the world in a condition of extreme poverty is paradoxical and tragic.

In the middle of this chain of communities is the village of Cusuna. A place I have visited numerous times. The 5000 or so residents of Cusuna have a problem: they are starving. The are starving physically and spiritually. Due to several factors, there is a harsh shortage of protein-rich foods in Cusuna. Due to their history and decades of distorted teaching, there is a harsh shortage of truth in Cusuna. Many Garifuna children will go several days in a row with no protein in their diet all the while they will learn of ancestral spiritualism and worship of the dead. They are starving.

At Worldwide Voice In the Wilderness, we are committed to making a difference in this largely unreached people group. We are working as part of an ongoing fish farm project that will provide food for the children of Cusuna. Our part also includes training current and future community leaders to honor God and church leaders to plant more churches that will impact Cusuna and the neighboring communities.

We need you help.

Alive in God

I was buried with Christ in baptism and now I am walking in newness of life, knowing that my old nature was crucified with Him so that I should no longer be a slave to sin. I reckon myself to be dead indeed to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus my Lord.
[based on Romans 6:4-6, 11]
