What We Believe

The ministry of Reach Out Honduras is an interdenominational Christian mission. We pray that all who serve beside us do so in Christian unity, focusing on the essentials of biblical Christianity and leaving the non-essentials aside.

Propelled and motivated by our faith in Jesus Christ, we live and work alongside the Miskito people as a demonstration of God’s unconditional love for all people. We have no intentions of imposing our Americanism on Hondurans.  Instead, we pray for real friendships and recognition of equality and value in every single person. Some of our work includes assistance in providing for daily needs, working to encourage literacy and quality education, and partnering with churches and individuals to encourage spiritual rebirth and transformation. Wherever we work, our prayer is that our efforts will be used by God to heal and strengthen people’s relationships with Him and with one another; not from a position of superiority, but one of equality.

Some of the verses from God’s Word that speak to His mission through His people:

GENESIS 12:1-3

The Lord said to Abram: Go out from your land, your relatives, and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, I will bless you, I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:18 – 20

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

1 PETER 2:9-10

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.  Once you were not a people,  but now you are God’s people;  you had not received mercy,  but now you have received mercy.
