Seasons of Change


La Providencia is feeling the affects of the economic situation in the United States and the political instability in Honduras.  Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the current budget.  We are in the midst of making some difficult decisions regarding our staff and all areas of operations. We do see the blessing in the necessary changes.  The Lord is so gracious and blesses us in ways that the world may view as weakness.  But, He shows Himself always faithful always strong.  This week, the administrative office is moving from Siguatepeque into the clinic at La Providencia. Within a month, the Providence In a Box store will also move to its new location on campus.  We are continuing to praise the Lord for this season and to put our hope in His plans for the days ahead.

Vivacious Volunteers!



We love our interns! We are so thankful to these young ladies for volunteering their time to help the ministry of La Providencia.  Bethany Alms - teaching Bible at ALP, our students were blessed during their time together;  Krysten Poyner - helping with the community census project - this helps us plan for the future needs of the village community;  Elizabeth Holliday - working in and organizing the Providence In a Box store - many families easily found needed items due to Elizabeth's care, organization and hardwork.   Thank you ladies for your dedication.  We also appreciate your joy and patience during curfew hours!
