A few years ago Josh and I were able to go on a photo-mission trip to the Hope For Honduras mission in Tegucigalpa. We witnessed the people living in extreme poverty and this mission was giving food, shelter, clothing, education and the gospel to the people in their area. Like all people from America that go on mission trips, we were touched by the love of these people and the selflessness that they had amongst their poverty, while we Americans remained selfish in our wealth. It was really the root of the change in Josh and my marriage and part of the inspiration to downsize in Stillwater.
They have a few children who need sponsoring to attend a Hope Academy before February 1. They need $9000 to put these 5 children into the Hope Academy, a Christian private school where they will learn how to read and write and excel in the future. They will also be provided with food, clothing, medical care, tutoring and the necessities to excel in school and in their faith.
If you donate $500 or more toward their cause then I will give you a DVD portrait session in return ($700 value). All you have to do is email me the receipt showing that you sent the money to the mission through paypal or to their account in Spring, Texas. The session can be used at any time either in Stillwater or Lubbock.
Each child needs $2000 by February 1.
Let's make this happen.http://hope4honduras.squarespace.com/hope-academy-kids/

What an awesome idea! Way to use your gift for impact! I also made a trip to Teguc (a medical mission with Lifechurch back in '07). The Jones have such a heart for the Hondurans, it's beautiful what they are able to do! Love all you pics from there :c)
