Nik and Dana’s connection to Honduras is a story of how God has connected two families, one generation to the next, to serve the people of Honduras.

Seventeen years ago Nik’s uncle, Dr. Larry Severidt, began traveling to Honduras on medical mission trips. Dr. Severidt now leads residents from Broadlawns Medical Center to Hospital Escuela in Tegucigalpa each year.

Dana’s grandmother, Elizabeth Sundstrom, felt called to purchase an ambulance to bring patients to the hospital from the mountain villages surrounding Gualcinse after hearing about the need from Dana’s aunt, who regularly visited Honduras on mission trips. Elizabeth purchased the ambulance in memory of Dana’s grandfather, Carl Sundstrom.

Today, Nik and Dana are actively involved with MDM through missions, beginning in 2013. Together they bring a rich heritage of sowing seeds of hope and love to the ministry of MDM. They’re excited to partner with a movement of God that has so widely impacted the people of Honduras and them personally.
