Short-term mission trips
Your opportunity to work on projects that benefit the local people while sharing the love of Christ with the children and families of San Matías’ surrounding communities
Have you been on a MDM Honduras Mission Trip and want to go again?
MDM short-term mission trips take place several times throughout the year.
Trips may last a week or longer. We welcome groups of a variety of sizes.
Mission Teams work on a range of projects, including:
New home construction
Public school improvement projects
Gospel outreach
Medical or dental clinic outreach
Every trip includes loving on the kids and families of San Matías.
Where?
Honduras is located in Central America and is blessed with natural riches and kind people.
About 45 minutes from the capital city of Tegucigalpa, there is a community called San Matías, surrounded by sixteen villages, nestled into an area often referred to as The Mountain.
Why and how?
Most of the population here lives in extreme poverty. MDM Honduras exists to bring transformation to these communities through God’s Word and practical training and acts to improve life today and build a better future.
Our activities cover 4 key areas that affect all stages of life in the San Matias area:
Education
The Mountain of Blessings Sponsorship/Afterschool Program provides means for children and youth to overcome financial and academic barriers to their formal education.
Community Health
Contribution to families health through medical and dental care, nutritional baskets, housing, and clean water.
Economic Development
Our goal is to identify local entrepreneurs, develop marketable goods, establish co-ops, and find market and sales outlets for these goods
Spiritual Growth
The Bible study and Discipleship programs are key to bringing even more spiritual growth to our volunteers, students and families.
What’s my part?
When you come here as a short-term missionary, you get to participate in that ongoing work. Adding another puzzle piece to the larger puzzle.
You’ll also first-hand see how the local people live, interact with them and understand the meaning and scope of MDM’s ongoing work in these communities.
During your stay, you’ll participate hands-on in one or more projects and get to see the difference you help make.
We are sure that your coming to Honduras will be a blessing to many children and familes, as well as bring blessings back to you.
What are those projects like?
Mission trip projects are tailored to the current needs of the community and so no two mission trips are the same.
What’s the cost of a mission trip?
