LH GLOBAL OUTREACH

LOVE LIKE JESUS
TO LEAVE AN ETERNAL IMPACT
EVERYWHERE WE GO

We believe God calls us to go to the nations!
Sometimes, that’s right where we are, and other times, it means going across cultures to share and show the love of Jesus.

A Message From
Our Teaching Pastor

Our current global partners are Sowers4Pastors and Samaritan’s Purse – Operation Christmas Child. 

Lighthouse 4 Lempira is our child sponsorship program through our partnership with the Sowers4Pastors ministry in Lempira, Honduras. Through this program, we provide food, school supplies, Bible lessons, and more to approximately 700 children in 11 different communities in the mountains of Lempira, Honduras.

Every summer, LH sends mission teams to share the gospel of Jesus with the children in our program through Vacation Bible School. Every winter, LH sends a missions team to distribute backpacks and assist with registering the children for their new school year. Through these trips, our backpack drive, and exchanging letters between the children and their sponsors, we can demonstrate Jesus’ love for them and meet their physical and spiritual needs!

Whether you feel led to sponsor a child in Honduras or want information about joining the Lighthouse team on a mission trip, check out the links below.

BACKPACK
DRIVE

At the beginning of the school year, LH has an opportunity to provide school supplies to children we sponsor to prepare them for the school year. While public education is free, the financial burden of supplies is significant on a family. How can we help? It’s easy! During the fall, LH Outreach will be hosting our annual Backpack Drive! You can fill a backpack with items on the list provided for your sponsored child. You can even fill up a backpack for an unsponsored child! Backpacks make it all the way to Lempira, Honduras, in time for their school year, which begins in February. The children look forward to receiving their backpacks every year!

HONDURAS MISSIONS TEAM

Team members will spend one or two weeks at the end of July/beginning of August presenting Vacation Bible School in the 11 schools Lighthouse Church currently sponsors near Gracias, Honduras. Recruitment for the VBS team begins in January, and the team meets to train and prepare for their trip in the months leading up to departure. If you feel called to go on this mission trip, click the button below to get started!

Interested in Short-Term Missions?

Operation Christmas Child’s mission is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need worldwide. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with local churches worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.  A simple shoebox packed by our church will travel miles to show the love of Jesus!  Shoebox distribution and collection happen in November, while preparation for shoeboxes occurs throughout the year.

FAQS

WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MY CHILD AND LH4L?

Profiles will be sent out via mail once a year, and digital copies will be posted on the LH 4 Lempira Facebook Page. You can also find out more information by logging in to your Sowers4Pastors Online Account or emailing lh4l@lighthouse.church.

HOW DO I ACCESS MY ACCOUNT?

To access your account, visit the Sowers4Pastors website. Click Login to manage your account. If this is your first time, click the Reset Password button and follow the prompts to continue.

HOW DO I MANAGE MY ACCOUNT?

Each sponsor will have an account on the Sowers4Pastors website. You can update your payment information and modify your profile there. You may also email trish@sowers4pastors.com, and she will handle your request personally.

WHEN DOES MY SPONSORSHIP END?

Sponsorships can be canceled at any time for any reason. You are also welcome to continue your sponsor relationship with the child until they finish school.

WHAT DOES MY $20 A MONTH GO TOWARD?

Your $20 a month goes toward two nutritious meals per week, weekly Bible lessons, school shoes, and 2 to 3 opportunities to exchange letters with your child per year.

WHY DO WE PROVIDE BACKPACKS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR THE CHILDREN?

Enrollment in public school is free in Honduras, however, the steep cost of school supplies can be a great financial burden for many families, who typically make only $1,000 per year. Providing a backpack filled with school supplies, takes away the greatest financial burden of education.

IF I SPONSOR A CHILD, AM I REQUIRED TO FILL A BACKPACK?

No, sending a backpack to your child is completely optional. Many sponsors enjoy the feeling of hand-picking their child’s school supplies and then seeing pictures of their child with those items when they receive them!

WHAT IS THE TIMELINE FOR RECEIVING AND WRITING LETTERS?

Generally, sponsors will receive and write letters in February, June, & October. This timeline is subject to change based on a number of factors, but sponsors will always receive an email notification at least 2 weeks in advance of when letters will be collected.

CAN I VISIT MY SPONSORED CHILD?

Currently, we do not have a visitation aspect of our sponsorship program; however, LH sends a mission team at least once per year to lead a VBS curriculum for our sponsorship program. This would be a great opportunity to get involved and meet your sponsored child!
