Mission Trips

Honduras 2010

Trinity UMC is joining forces with Sam Jones Memorial UMC this summer to serve the people of Trujullo, Honduras, in the name of Jesus Christ.  Thirteen mission team members from Cartersville--including Cindy Schwartz and Paster Mike Morgan--will travel to Honduras July 17-25.  The purpose of the trip is to work with an independent church in the beautiful but impoverished coastal town of Trujillo.  The focus is teaching specific skill sets to young people in Trujillo to help break the economic cycle they live in.  Last summer the pastor in Truillo was teaching some 300 youth every Wednesday night.  He is currently teaching bicycle repair and basic computer skills.  He wants to expand the offerings to include skills such as welding, cooking, sewing, and woodworking.  Our mission team will also teach a self-worth course to teenage females in the area.

The construction aspect of the trip will depend on the skill level of our mission team members.  There are numerous projects to work on ranging from indoor painting to pouring concrete.  One combined project will be to teach basic welding.  It will be a hands-on course to make and then install windows in a new church building in a remote village.  Before the mission team departs for Honduras, we will offer a basic plumbing and electrical work course for team members who want to learn those skills.  We will then teach those skills to the youth in Trujillo.  We may also plumb a new structure in Trujillo and install running toilets.
