Rebuilding Hope in Honduras: Yoni’s Story

Meet Yoni Sanchez, a devoted mother of five and a faithful follower of Jesus Christ for over 12 years. In a small village in Honduras, Yoni's life is marked by perseverance, faith, and a deep love for her family. She consistently teaches her daughters the importance of gratitude-"Be thankful to God in the good times and in the bad times," she often says.
But recently, the bad times had begun to press in too heavily-literally. The terracotta roof on Yoni's home, supported by aging wooden beams, was placing unbearable pressure on the weakened walls of her home. As the rainy season approached, there was growing fear that the roof might collapse altogether, putting her and her daughters in danger. Despite the risk, Yoni never stopped praying-and God heard her.
When our church family learned of Yoni's situation, we knew we couldn't just stand by. Through your compassion, donations, and support, we raised the full $1,600 needed to replace her roof with a lighter, safer metal one-before the rains began.
Thanks to your generosity, Yoni and her daughters now rest under a secure roof, protected from the elements and uplifted by the love of people they may never meet in person but are united with in Christ.
This is what international missions look like: not just sending help, but sending hope. From small towns to distant countries, we are committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus wherever the need is great and the hearts are open.
