During late 1998, after Hurricane Mitch destroyed much of Honduras and killed thousands of people, William Borden of Phil Campbell, Ala., and Danny Watkins of Carrollton, Ga., felt God calling them to action.

Borden filled a 48-foot trailer with supplies from Alabama, and Watkins did the same in Georgia. Together they brought the food and supplies to Mobile, Ala., and sent it to a contact in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Several days later, Borden, Watkins and two other men went to Honduras to assure that the supplies arrived safely. There they met Carlos Hernandez, a pastor in Cerro Grande.

Hernandez told them about a group of children whose parents were killed in Hurricane Mitch.

He asked Borden and the team if they would like to go see where the children were living . . . they did . . . so Hernandez led them to the city dump.

This is where Christ Outreach Ministries' vision began . . . in the middle of the city dump.
