Craig and I have the unique opportunity this fall to visit missionaries Chip and Lisa Bloecher in Catacamas, Olancho, Honduras o support their ministry. We are donating our time and packing up our video equipment to travel to Catacamas in early November, so that we can film a short documentary that will shed light on the plight of the people there and show the power of Jesus' love in action.
Hundreds of poverty-stricken families in Catacamas struggle every day to meet their most basic needs. Single mothers often are forced into a life of prostitution to put food on the table for their children. Most are homeless, living in makeshift shelters made from of fabric and found scraps of wood. The children are clothed in rags and do not even own a pair of shoes. For several years, The Branch church has sent mission teams to Catacamas to build cinderblock homes and provide clothing and supplies for those in need. In summer 2014, church members Lisa and Chip Bloecher and their daughter Hope moved to Catacamas to be full-time missionaries.
Your donation will go to offset the cost of flights/transportation, meals, and other travel-related expenses, as well as SD cards and batteries for filming. Any funds raised above our $3,500 goal will go directly to the Mamas en Catacamas ministry, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit corp that operates under volunteer work by a Board of Directors who want to see Jesus' love spread to the lives of the weary.
In exchange for your gift of any amount, your name will be listed in the credits of the finished documentary and we'll invite you to the premiere. And, of course, you will have the immense gratification of knowing that you are helping to spread God's love to this Third World country and expand His kingdom in the darkest corners of the earth. Thank you for your contribution, and for your prayers as we head out on this exciting mission!
