Giving Thanks to Honduran Partners in Ministry

As we enter the season of Thanksgiving in the United States, Alejandro and the Sowers4Pastors team want to take a moment to shine a light on gratitude for the support they’ve received here in Honduras. This post, primarily Alejandro’s words, is dedicated to acknowledging the Hondurans who have stepped up in meaningful ways this year. After all, who better to thank these local heroes than a Honduran missionary himself?

“We are blessed in the ministry,” Alejandro begins. “This year, we saw so many people from Honduras give their time, money, and energy to serve the Lord and help the children. Thank you to each one of them.”

Alejandro went on to share how God’s love and faithfulness have guided the work Sowers4Pastors does. He shared his gratitude for Allen Sowers and the vision God planted in him to come to Honduras as a blessing to thousands. Alejandro was quick to reference 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Alejandro emphasized that Hondurans have come forward with open hearts to support their own communities. Here are a few of the invaluable contributions he highlighted:

• Youth Translators: Young Honduran translators joined the ministry’s brigades, sharing both language skills and love with the children. “Each of them has a precious heart, and we are confident that God has a purpose in their lives,” Alejandro shared.
• Local Dentists: Three Honduran dentists joined the dental brigade, volunteering their expertise in Gracias, treating both children and adults. Alejandro expressed his gratitude for their commitment, knowing their care directly impacts families and communities.
• El Ahorro Opticians: Partnering with a local optician, S4P has been able to provide prescription glasses to children, empowering them to continue their studies and improve their quality of life.
• Pastor Jackie de Montoya and Team: In celebration of Children’s Day, Pastor Jackie and a group of 15 people from Tegucigalpa visited 24 locations, bringing joy, prayers, and the Word of God to each child they met. “They came with willing hearts, full of love, leaving seeds of God’s Word in these young hearts,” Alejandro explained.

Alejandro also expressed gratitude to the teams from the United States who come year after year, serving alongside S4P in various capacities. Yet he made it clear: “We couldn’t do this work without the incredible support of our Honduran family.”

As he closed, Alejandro shared this heartfelt blessing with each of these local partners:

“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)

From the entire Sowers4Pastors team, gracias de todo corazón — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
