Bringing a Group
Until recently, our facilities have been used mostly by members of our own congregations. We're well organized now and can offer the facilities to other groups, providing a new mission trip opportunity for your congregation.
Pictures of our facilities can be seen by clicking on "The Facilities" in the Contents column. We have two dorm rooms sleeping 10 persons each. Each dorm has a bathroom with two toilets and two showers, and plenty of hot water!!
Our kitchen and dining room is staffed by three local cooks. The food is fresh, and really good.
Gualaco is a quiet community. We never have problems, but we'll still have 24 hour security on the premises while you're there...just to be safe.
Your one-week mission trip to Honduras will be well organized. Pablo Padilla will meet you at the airport in Tegucigalpa on Saturday and guide you out to Gualaco. Work projects will have been organized in advance. Whether you're doing construction, medical, or VBS, you'll be fully involved with the local people. You'll work in or around their homes...side be side with them. You'll visit local schools (they're very open to VBS activities, games, crafts, etc.) and you'll worship with local brethren. And as you recap the day, you'll participate in fantastic devos. You'll experience the Lord in a deeper, richer way than you may have before.
(By the way, I go down there to "help" the people, but find they do more for me than I do for them.)
The in-country portion of your trip is $375 per person. Add to that your airfare, departure tax ($38) and souvenir money.
On Friday, you'll drive back to Tegucigalpa where you'll stay in a very nice hotel; easing you back into "normal" life before departing for home the next day. (Please note that all trips are scheduled "Saturday to Saturday".)
We do have this limitation: none of our local people speak English, so you'll need to have at least one Spanish speaker in your group.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
