Manage episode 487793247 series 3564561
Felipe and his wife left their American dream behind to serve in Honduras through His Eyes Ministry, a holistic mission providing medical care, child sponsorship, church planting, and coffee farming that transforms communities and lives. Their journey showcases how unexpected callings can lead to profound impact when we view the world through Jesus' perspective.

• The Milk Project provides nutrition, education and spiritual teaching to nearly 200 children
• Coffee farming creates sustainable income and employment opportunities
• Children often walk over an hour each way to participate in the Milk Project programs
