Eternal Family Project opened in 2004 to meet the needs of young women that were aging out of orphanages. The vision was to provide young women a safe, family environment where they would learn of the love of God and His desire for each of them, while continuing their education to receive a high school diploma.
Much has changed throughout the past five years, and the Lord has expanded the vision and increased our family. The original girls have all finished high school and are now enrolled in various universities throughout Honduras and the United States. Beginning in 2007 our family has increased to include eight young girls, also. We are now an ever-increasing family of fourteen. We desire to see each child grow up with the peace and salvation that is only found in Jesus. We know that through His strength they can overcome all obstacles. We are committed to providing long-term care and support to each girl, ensuring that they are able to receive secondary education and attend a university to pursue their dreams with the necessary education.
With more than 50 percent of the population living below the poverty line in Honduras, many families struggle for food, clothing, and shelter. The circumstances many of Honduras’ children were born into haven’t given them a fair chance to be educated, cared for, and, more importantly, shown the love of Jesus. We are providing a loving family to girls who have been abused, abandoned and neglected. Each girl at EFP has their own struggles and pains of abandonment and loneliness. Knowing that only Jesus has the ability to heal them, we rest in the assurance that His love and compassion reaches far beyond what we can do in our own strength. Through prayer we ask for healing of deep wounds and the miraculous love of the Father to transform each life. Our mission is to pull them out of the despair they once lived in and provide the education and life tools necessary for each girl to live to their full potential as a Child of God. We are equipping them with the needed skills to walk away from hopelessness and into the open arms of Jesus. In this way, we break the cycle of poverty.
As the Lord leads, our vision is to expand the ministry to provide homes and families to more of Honduras’ neglected children. The goal is to acquire land, ideally five to ten acres, where we will build a small neighborhood consisting of six to eight individual homes that will each have house parents and will house eight to ten children. We would, also, like to have a small area of land that would be used for farming, to create residual income for the ministry. Our hope is that we will be able to obtain the necessary property in Peña Blanca. We feel that the Lord is leading us to move the ministry and that He has already began provisions by providing a local bilingual school, a great, Bible-teaching church, and a commitment from a local ministry, in Peña Blanca, to help with the construction of a permanent home for EFP.
Only through the Lords strength and guidance can we do any of this. We ask that you pray for the neglected children of Honduras, for our ministry, for clear direction and abundant provision, and ask the Lord how He would have you reach out and bless the least of His children.
