From our mission statement, we have three primary functions
and objectives:
Water Systems:
The Living Waters Honduras Mission, through our
well construction projects are providing potable water to
the small communities and villages in the Mosquito Coast
and other areas of Honduras. These well construction projects
continue regularly as they have over the many years. Our
local missionary coordinator, Frank Monterroso, who also
resides in the Mosquito Coast area, has supervised and installed
nearly 300 wells. We are now beginning to install water
systems that run with gasoline-powered pumps which supply
water to an entire community. A community water system is
more economical, yielding clean water for more people as
opposed to installing multiple, single wells.
Living Waters is instrumental in the construction the water
systems by organizing and sending work teams to install
the wells, pumps and the pipe systems. These groups consist
of private individuals working as volunteers who provide
labor for the project. These volunteer groups supply their
own funds for the trip. Living Waters Honduras Mission will
provide the materials through private donations from various
supporting churches and other individual contributions.
The Honduran people dig the trenches for the pipe and
help Pastor Monterroso dig the well. The site is prepared
for the Living Waters construction team before they arrive.
Medical:
Our medical and dental teams from the United States travel
into Honduras to give basic medical aid to people who have
no means to access the very limited medical system in this
country. Government supported health care is virtually non
existent in Honduras. The private health system is not affordable
to most citizens as the per capita income is $894.00 per
year, ranking 123 out of a global list of 187.
Living Waters' Doctors, Dentists and technicians are providing
basic health care for various medical problems with supplies
and materials provided by The Living Waters Honduras Mission.
Our teams also train the Hondurans to give basic dentistry
and medical care to people in the La Ceiba area and in the
isolated villages on the Mosquito Coast.
Spiritual Enrichment:
We also participate in the Spiritual enrichment
of existing churches in Honduras by teaching, preaching,
and conducting pastoral training seminars. We do not start
or control any existing religions organizations in Honduras.
We only serve the Lord by helping the established ministries.
