Honduras Mission Update from
Dori Hjalmarson, Mission Co-Worker
Honduras was hit by two back-to-back Category 4 hurricanes
(Eta and Iota) in November, 2020. Here is a brief update on the Presbytery of Honduras’ relief efforts,
which Carlisle Presbytery helped in part to fund.
Hurricane relief: The Presbytery of Honduras has completed a second round of hurricane-related food distribution in areas around Trinidad de Copán and is tentatively planning a medical brigade in a village called Choncó in that area for this coming weekend of January 15-17. Representatives of the presbytery visited the area before Christmas, including the municipality of Trinidad de Copán, the Manos Amigas clinic in La Entrada, and some smaller colonias around the town. They distributed some 400 bags of food and assessed needs, and they decided to again offer a medical brigade in Choncó, which was isolated and cut off from supplies for weeks after the hurricanes and now faces crop loss and shortage of work in harvests and other agricultural endeavors.
Please continue praying for the presbytery, its churches, pastors, elders, and people, and the people of Honduras.
