FINDING THE NEED
onduras is one of the poorest nations in the western hemisphere, so it doesn’t take much digging to find needs–needs that often demand an answer. The government has little funding for education; therefore, it is very difficult to receive an education beyond the sixth grade. If a family wants their children to have more, they are forced to pay for it themselves.
here does this leave those that barely have enough money for food and living, let alone education? Thus, it seems the nation is feeding the seemingly never ending cycle of poverty and lack of hope. There are numerous un-reached mountain villages that still do not have electricity or running water, have children without clothing or shoes, and have families without food to feed their children.
igh percentages of young marriages and teen pregnancy is the norm, and sadly this is all they seem to know. Homes are barely constructed of mud, sticks, cardboard and whatever material they can use to cover themselves. Many villages have no organized church, nor a pastor, nor a church building in which to meet, which leaves their spiritual needs unfulfilled.
MEETING THE NEED
Tree of Life Ministries uses every resource and strategy available in order to meet the need. This includes the cooperation of many avenues, including staff and student volunteers, short-term teams, international partnerships and project donors. Check out our outreach page to learn more about how we meet the need.
REVOLUTIONIZING THE NATION
…through Improved Education
♦ We are graduating, on average, 100 students each year from our high school, Plan Escalon. These young men and women are trained to go out into the workforce of their country, taking with them the Word of God, and begin to bring the nation up to a higher level, from within.
♦ Our students have raised their vision to a standard with greater hope and purpose.
♦ Many get involved in their own communities by becoming teachers in areas that have no schools, or by holding political positions such as mayors, lawyers etc.
♦ Many of our graduates obtain good jobs and continue their education by attending universities.
♦ Many have even returned to Escalon after graduating, to become part of the staff and to give back into the system that changed the destiny of their lives.
♦ Many have waited to get married and start their families until later in their lives.
♦ In a Nation of some 70% unemployment, over 70% of our graduates have full-time employment.
…through Improved Quality of Life
♦ Unreached villages are receiving electricity and potable water.
♦ Children are receiving improved education in high mountain villages.
♦ The “Mosquito Coast” is being reached with education and medical training that is giving the jungle region of Honduras a hope for a better future.
More importantly, many have been impacted with the miraculous, life-altering, power of God and are passing on the “living gospel” to the next generation.

Personal history
As a child, I was I guess shy or more likely insecure so I just accepted that that is the way things were. During this part of my childhood, I always seemed to notice the one that was set apart. Self-marginalized if you will, and that seemed to break my heart even at that younger age. I began to realize that this was shaping me and maybe you would say my heart for the helpless, hurting or segregated.
I started sensing the passion for a Global Mission when I took my first mission trip in 1987, and that broke my heart permanently for the marginalized. I went to Honduras in 1996 to serve for a year, and have never left serving in the global mission field. The Lord clearly dropped in my heart that vision was to be to “Find the Need – Meet the Need – Change the Nations.
I received by doctorate in 2011 and during that time we have planted over 100 churches and raised up pastors and community leaders throughout Honduras. We have developed what we call a 7-strategy system for changing a Nation in which we will available soon as a full online course.
My heart is help Christians of multi-generations and cultures discover that one unique thing that no one else has like we have. That unique thing is INFLUENCE! And Influence is Leadership! I want help you Unlock and Understand your Kingdom Calling. I want you to live in the freedom of knowing that you are living in the niche for which only you can fill. That unique DNA of helping others in ways that ONLY YOU can fill
I also have passion to help leaders. (Pastor’s, leadership, nonprofit, market ministry) to expand their influence by understanding the language of their desired culture. By finding their need and how to design a plan to meet that need.
I have a passion to help people of all generations and all cultures, with the language and culture relevance to reach out to the hurting both locally and globally so that they can see the Kingdom of God in Action.
I know that it has been by God’s Grace we have been able to see thousands each year come to Christ and hundreds be released into their calling. Certainly, it is true, When I am weak, He is strong
