Caring for Mothers, Reaching Hearts, and Changing Lives

Near the northern coast of Honduras in the city of La Ceiba, a quiet but powerful ministry is at work—one that meets mothers in one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. The Maternity Home, established in 2019, sits just a short walk from the local hospital’s neonatal unit. It has operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ever since, providing a safe and nurturing refuge for mothers whose newborn babies require extended medical care.

Many of these women have traveled long distances, often from remote mountain villages, with no place to stay and no money for food. Without the Maternity Home, they would be left to sleep outside the hospital or go without meals. Instead, they find a clean bed, warm showers, three nourishing meals a day, and the love of Christ shared through both word and action.

What the Maternity Home Provides

The Maternity Home offers far more than just shelter. It creates a space where women are seen, heard, and cared for—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Your support helps provide:

• Safe lodging: Clean beds and a secure environment just steps from the hospital.
• Nourishing meals: Three hot meals daily, easing the burden on mothers during stressful times.
• Hygiene essentials: Warm showers and access to basic hygiene supplies.
• Spiritual encouragement: Daily Bible studies, prayer times, and one-on-one ministry opportunities.
• 24-hour support: Caring staff members available around the clock to pray with, talk with, and serve each mother.

The Eternal Impact of Compassionate Care

Since its opening, the Maternity Home has welcomed over 3,100 mothers, offering them not only practical support but the message of hope found in Jesus Christ. As a result of this faithful, daily ministry:

• Over 830 mothers have prayed to receive Christ as their Savior
• Countless Gospel seeds have been planted through prayer, Bible study, and the Christ-like example of the dedicated women who serve there
• The ministry has become a beacon of hope for the entire La Ceiba community

This extraordinary work has not come without sacrifice. When outside funding was unexpectedly cut, the women who staff the Maternity Home chose to continue serving without pay, trusting that God would provide. Their families have shared in that sacrifice, often going without to keep this ministry alive. Local churches and ministries have joined in to help, but the monthly financial need remains great.

How You Can Make a Difference

We are praying for a community of faithful partners to come alongside this ministry to ensure its future. A monthly gift of $25, $50, or $100 can go a long way in helping cover food, utilities, and basic needs for the staff and mothers. Whether you’re able to give a little or a lot, every dollar makes a difference.

Your support will help:

• Sustain daily operations and staff support
• Provide food and essentials for new mothers
• Ensure this vital ministry continues to share the love and message of Jesus Christ
