HONDURAS: Paying It Forward

Source: Email from Don Rumbaugh, serving in Honduras

Three Honduran medical students have been working in an under-served rural area of Honduras and will be participating in a clinical internship in Africa in March 2014.

The students’ school expenses are paid for by an initiative called “Honduras to the World” (sponsored by the Christian and Missionary Alliance’s Marketplace Ministries). Upon graduation from medical school, the students will “pay forward” this sponsorship by living and working among unreached and/or unengaged people groups in Africa.

Resources for “Honduras to the World” come from the repayment of micro-enterprise loans given to Honduran businessmen and women. Once the businesspeople repay their “Honduras to the World” loans, this money is then used to train and send Hondurans to “unengaged” lands, i.e., those without established churches.

“Honduras to the World” teachers and doctors have been and will be engaging the world’s unengaged with Jesus’ love, joy, and truth.
