About
Us
Although credit is given to many, Living Waters Honduras
Mission began through the efforts of Dr. Robert Seymour,
who on a fishing trip to Honduras saw the dental needs of
people in Honduras. Over the years, Dr. Seymour has overseen
the construction of several dental clinics in and around
the La Ceiba area.
In the course of those first projects, many other people
have been encouraged to participate, either through personal
contributions, or through churchs in the North Mississippi
area. It would be impossible to give credit on an individual
basis as hundreds of people have participated with their
physical involvement and monetary support.
Many support teams have traveled into Honduras since that
first trip. Over time, it became apparent that many other
areas of critical help were necesary. Living Waters Honduras
Mission began to branch out into these other areas of need
such as water systems, medical, educational and spiritual
enrichment. In order to manage these efforts, Living Water
Honduras Mission was incorporated as a 501.(c)(3) non profit
charitable organization.
Water
Problem
Most people in the United States have access to clean water.
Unfortunately, in Honduras, much of the population does
not have access to safe drinking water. It became apparent
to the medical teams that much of the sickness they were
treating were due to worm infestation from the drinking
of ground water and the many parasites within. The works
of Frank Monterroso were noted as he traveled around the
remote villages, digging and installing deep well and pumping
systems. As clean water was made available to the community,
much of the sickness were eliminated.
Education
Efforts
Many of the problems in Honduras are a result of little
education. Living Waters Honduras Mission is actively involved
in training the youth in the small villiages of Honduras,
mostly in the Eastern Mosquito Coast area of the country
and La Entrada de Copan.
Spiritual
Needs
Living Water Honduras Mission may be a 501.(c)(3) organization.
However its roots began with people who believe in Jesus
Christ and its evangelical religious message. Delivering
the gospel message is the foundation of what Living Waters
Honduras Mission is about; this is our primary goal. As
Christian brothers and sisters, we are expected, and willing
to help those who are in need of earthly care while also
explaining the "Good News" message of eternal
salvation through the life, death and ressurection of our
Savior, Jesus Christ.
