Types
of Mission Teams
- Construction
missions: Teams come to help with our construction projects
- Evangelism
missions: Teams/individuals come and speak at rehab, youth
prison, church, Bible school and go into the mountains and villages
to do VBS, preach, teach and evangelize.
- Medical
missions: Medical teams come to provide medical, dental
and/or vision care in our clinic. We are seeking to do this
3-4 times a year.
- Other
missions: Groups and individuals can come minister at the
children's home for a period of time, groups and individuals
can also come help us work the farm for a period of time. Missionaries can
also come and help us with home schooling or whatever else the
Lord puts on your heart.
Groups
can come as either of the above mission teams and they can also
mix and match what they'd like to do. For example, a construction
group can also evangelize and a medical group can also evangelize.
Whatever your talents and abilities are, God can use them here.
Groups
and individuals planning to come on a mission trip need to complete
and turn in the guidelines form, policies and procedures form, application
and referral forms to: Christ
Outreach Ministries, 5550
Hwy 81, Phil Campbell, AL 35581

Information
- You
must have a valid U.S. Passport. No visa is required in Honduras,
however, there is a $30 exit fee at the airport before you board
the airplane. You can stay in-country for 30 days at a time
and apply for extensions up to 90 days.
If youths younger than 18 are in your group, have notarized
documents with permissions to travel on the mission, as well
as official birth certificates (whether traveling with parents
or not).
- It
would be good for you to have Hepatitis-A and -B vaccinations,
tetanus, typhoid and malaria vaccinations and be free of any
other contagious illnesses.
- The
U.S. dollar is currently equal to about 18.74 lempiras. Don't count
on using credit cards or traveler's checks. Bring dollars and
we'll help you exchange them at the bank.
- There
is some gang activity in the country, but it is mostly in the
big cities and tourist areas. Security is always to be in mind.
If you are interested in having a mission group come to
