SUMMER HONDURAS IMMERSION TRIPS COORDINATED BY CHURCH OF THE GESU
Through the experience of an immersion trip, participants will contribute significantly to many needs of the Honduran people. Participants will engage in construction projects and hands-on community service while building meaningful relationships with the people of Honduras and their fellow participants. The trip will also expand one’s view of the Creator, the great need in the world, and the relative unimportance of “things” in our lives. This will be a trip of “reverse mission” where we learn some of life’s most important lessons from the poorest of the poor.
Trip Dates: June 3-10, 2025
Trip Cost: $2,000
Applicants must be entering AT LEAST the 11th Grade in the 2025-2026 school year to participate. Adults are encouraged to join too.
Applications Now Open! Applications are due by January 5, 2025.
APPLY NOW!

MISSION TRIPS COORDINATED BY HONDURAN CHILDREN'S RESCUE FUND
Are you interested in joining us on a mission trip to Honduras?
Honduran Children's Rescue Fund (HCRF) has been travelling to Honduras for over 20 years in support of our partner, Sociedad Amigos de los Niños, to aid the children and families of Honduras.
Upcoming trips:
• October 11-18, 2024
• February 14-21, 2025
Trips are medical and construction brigade trips. All types of volunteers are needed & previous mission experience or Spanish language skills are not necessarily required. Non-medical volunteers are needed to help with many varieties of work. All ages and talents are welcome! (Under 18 will need a parent or guardian.)
Trip cost includes airfare, ground transportation, lodging, all meals with plenty of food, housekeeping service, laundry, etc. The trip cost also helps to purchase medicines and medical and construction supplies.
These trips offer wonderful opportunities to be part of a larger group doing great work. If you would like to sign up or get additional information please visit:
