Greetings!
 
We are pleased to announce this exclusive World Premiere of the new Liberia Mission documentary series - Children of Hope: The Liberia Mission Story.  This six-part documentary series will be released on our website during Lent - one segment each week on Fridays.  "Children of Hope" tells the story of Liberia Mission, Inc. through some of its most remarkable children.

SEEDS: Part 1 of 6 features Handful Kollie.  Handful was found hungry, homeless, and with little clothing in an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in 2003.  He lost his parents in the war, and he was the first child taken in by Liberia Mission. Nearly seven years later, he is in the 8th grade and is determined to become an agriculturalist, so that Liberians will never again have to suffer the hunger he had as a child. He is also a respected leader at the Mission, where many of the younger children follow his lead, bearing dreams that focus on re-building their country.  Click on the picture below to watch and learn more!

In this issue, you will also find information on ways to connect to Liberia Mission this Lent.  We are also happy to let you know that we have researched several Catholic organizations that welcome volunteer groups in Honduras.  Please see below for more information or contact us. 

Thank you for your continued prayers and support, and for all you do to bring hope and a brighter future for children living in poverty.

God bless you this Lenten Season,
Bob

LentConnect with Liberia Mission this Lent

This Lent, there are many ways that you and your family can build a deeper connection to Liberia Mission and to those people around the world who are striving for a brighter future.  Below are several ideas:
  • Pray for the children of Liberia Mission, for all children, and for peace throughout the world.
  • Host a simple supper.  Invite people to donate what they would have spent by going out to eat. 
  • Sponsor a child, or write a letter to your sponsor child and email it to us.
  • Learn more about Liberia, its history, connection to the U.S., and its culture. 
  • Invite your faith-sharing group to get involved by praying, fasting, or giving this Lent.
  • Suggest to your book club that you read a book about Liberia or West Africa.
  • Host a movie night.  Here are several films about Liberia or watch the Children of Hope series.
  • Other ideas?  Let us know your ideas or what you plan to do this Lent!
HondurasVolunteer Group Opportunities in Honduras!
 
Providing opportunities for volunteer groups to experience and be changed by the children of Honduras has always been an important part of the mission and ministry of Mission Honduras International.  We have heard from many of you that you would like to continue taking your group to Honduras. 

Honduras_Girl with Man in HatWe are pleased to let you know that a team of volunteers researched and then visited three different Catholic mission organizations in Honduras this winter.  All three organizations are equipped and willing to welcome volunteer groups to serve at their sites.  Each site is within a couple of hours of Tegucigalpa, and each provides different kinds of opportunities for small to large groups.  Two long-time groups have already set up their trips for this summer!

For more information on volunteer group opportunities in Honduras, please contact us at volunteer@missionhonduras.com or 773-809-4008.
