Honduras House Build

Joining with Millbrook Baptist Church as lead, along with several other churches, we are building simple concrete block houses for the very poor in Honduras.  This project is in its 17th year, having built 77 houses for 352 people (through August 2025).    Please see 2025 Trip Summary Section.

We plan to return to Honduras August 7 – 16, 2026.

You can directly help someone who has absolutely no ability to repay you – which is emblematic of our call by Jesus to give freely with no expectation of return (Luke 6:33-36) by either/both:

  • Contributing Money – ~$4000 provides a complete house for a family
  • Going Yourself – Your cost will be about $1400

These houses alter the trajectory of each family, for both the current family and the generations that follow, illustrated by house number 66.

I personally invite you to join me: both in contributing a donation for purchase of materials for a house and to also go with me.   Personally speaking, the experience will change your life.
