One United Team
By José Chinchilla
Honduras National Director
To see Catacamas with hope, health and stability in partnership with the church is a desire for Family Life Missions. As a team we are committed, dedicated, and passionate about this work and the fulfillment of this vision. We are convinced that God, in His perfect purpose and timing, longs to see the city of Catacamas in a healthy relationship with Him, others and nature. As citizens and Christians, we are called to be part of this transformation and restoration. We need to embrace and respond to this mission.
The most important core of society is the Christian family. We believe and are firmly convinced that investing in families will lead us to a hope of a new dawn in Catacamas. If we have healthy families, we will have healthy children who will have a strong foundation for healthy physical and spiritual development. But to make this vision possible we need to work as a team and partner with all the people and institutions that will walk side by side with us on this journey.
We are serving children and families through our three programs: Family Preservation, Foster Care and our Children´s Home. We provide restoration, training and transformation to vulnerable families and children of Catacamas through spaces, techniques, models, and a caring process with Christ at the center.
This is an arduous job for us at Family Life Missions. To think that only we can do it without anyone's help is practically drowning in the attempt. Not only do we need people, churches, and institutions, but most importantly, we must have God's partnership. Partnering with God gives us the strength, guidance, wisdom, and firmness to do what needs to be done. It keeps us focused on Him being our one true hope. It is God who reminds us that he has put us as catalysts for building a peaceful and harmonious society. Without God's partnership or presence, we could not break down the barriers and challenges that we face in this process of caring and loving vulnerable families and children. Partnering with God is the paramount value of the Family Life Missions team.
You are a valued member of this team. With you, we are able to face the sin that has harmed many families and children so much. Without your help we could not do this. We know that God has put in your heart and mind to support us in different ways and for that, we thank God for you being part of Family Life Missions. We are the church and we are the ones called to strive for a restored, formed and transformed city.
We invite you to be part of our team if you have not already done so. We promise it will be a road worthy of walking. We assure you that it will not be easy, but we promise that with God as the head of our team, the burden will be lighter.
For I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
-Hosea 6:6
