Honduras

Ordinary people are making an extraordinary difference in Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the world.

Southwood works in partnership with Heart to Honduras, a para-church ministry on the ground in Honduras, to serve the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the people of Honduras.

You don't have to speak Spanish to participate ... most of Southwood's team members don't know the language.

Previous Mission Trips

For nearly a decade, Southwood has sent medical, dental, and construction teams to rural villages and supported the local church in Honduras.

Sister Church Missions

In 2005, Southwood built a church and three homes for widows in the Honduran village of La Ceibita. We have added a Sunday School and built many more homes for widows since then. A sewing center, brick making equipment, and a dairy operation have helped create economic opportunity for residents of La Ceibita.

Dental-Medical Missions

Dental/Medical Missions aren't just for dentists and doctors! The majority of people on these teams have no dental or medical experience and have had little or no ability to speak Spanish. They help with patient intake, sterilizing instruments, and caring for patients after they see the dentist or doctor. They also bring the Word of Christ to Hondurans through Bible School activities for children.

Southwood's Missions in Honduras

Is God calling you to serve in Honduras?

On a short-term mission trip to Honduras you will minister to "the least of these", in a way you might never be able to do at home.

Anyone can serve! We need non-medical people on medical missions, and people with a variety of skills can contribute to any mission trip.
