The team that is currently in Honduras, which we will be joining, has just begun a new ministry. It involves giving scholarships to kids so that they may attend high school.
In Honduras school is mandatory only through the 6th grade. After that, all schooling is private, and is no longer provided free by the government. This, coupled with a very high unemployment rate, means that a very low percentage of children go to school after the 6th grade.
Our team has come up with a way to help provide for the education of some of the youth as well as share the gospel of Christ with them. The students who receive the scholarship will have to maintain good grades and also will be required to attend a weekly discipleship class.
If you would like more information about these scholarships, please see here.
Ashley and I are so excited to be a part of this, and many other ministries in Honduras. We ask for your prayers as we prepare to go. -M
Mike and Ashley Troxell are missionaries to La Ceiba, Honduras with Mission to the World.
