Mission
Support to Ministries in Honduras and Guatemala that provide support and assistance to children and their families. Refuge operates a resource center, Mission Point Resource Center, in Catacamas, Olancho, that provides educational and teaching material to parents and teachers. Our primary focus is Honduras where we fund a program BECA - which is a scholarship program which supports children to go to public schools with stipends which range from $20 to $100 per month. In 2025 we supported 17 young people. We operated four feeding programs for children which provide two meals per week to approximately 180 children in Jutiquile, La Mansion, Villa Nueva, and Trujillo. We distributed food baskets to needy families, distributing more than 200. A group of 21 traveled to Honduras in June and July 2025 and participated in campaigns with 17 Students from Baxter Institute and poured concrete floors in 3 houses and painted a church building. 4 Seminars were held, including one on Human Trafficking
Program accomplishments

Approximately 5 teacher groups have been trained, and 10 students received a 13-week computer literacy course. In Honduras, we continued a BECA program, which provides stipends to 17 children allowing them to continue in public school. We also have feeding programs in four communities - Tegucigalpa, LaMansion, Trujillo and Jutiquile. Through these programs approximately 180 youngsters and a small number of older people are provided two meals per week. Our Resource Center and the group who traveled to Honduras in June and July distributed more than 200 food baskets. In September, we sponsored a Kids Against Packing event in Jacks Creek, TN and packaged more than 2800 dehydrated food packets containing more than 17,000 meals were sent to Honduras for distribution. Funds were also sent to Guatemala to help with food shortages in El Estor Isabel. and to purchase school backpacks and supplies for youngsters. Two ministers, Mario Alfaro, and Marlon Molina have been supported full time. These two men serve local churches but also travel throughout Olancho and Colon to deliver classes on Leadership training - a program called PROFORLE or Program for the Formation of Leaders. Our group of 21 people who traveled on a mission trip in June, hosted several seminars for the local congregations and poured concrete floors in three houses and painted an entire church building as well as distributing dozens of food baskets to needy families.Expenses $105,411 · grants $101,794
