Values
LYW believes that every person was created intentionally by God to have a kingdom impact. I believe that the people we serve have the ability to impact the kingdom, their community, and their country for the glory of God.
Christ-centered and led by the Holy Spirit rather than human desire or recognition.
Transparency and high fiscal responsibility. I love to involve our donors in areas that they fund. I honor donor requests in allocation of funds.
Finding sustainable, self-sufficient solutions where program participants have an equal effort in their advancement and in this ministry.
We act in ways that display our belief that the Honduran people and culture have value and dignity.
Bridging Honduras and North America in culture, people and understanding.
What does this look like in action?
We empower children and families living in Honduras to overcome oppression they experience through poverty, trauma, self-doubt and fear.
We uplift people by showing them that they have God-given value and have the power to partner with God to change their lives, the lives of those around them, and impact change in Honduras.
We create impact through building life-giving relationships, finding sustainable solutions to practical problems, providing opportunities for economic & personal growth, facilitating healing from trauma, and encouraging spiritual & mental health wholeness.
People are experiencing spiritual freedom that empowers them to step out of the strongholds of poverty, trauma, and hopelessness and into advancing God’s kingdom by shining their own light in their world.
