Kathy's dream is to see God transform more lives through the Schools of Hope program in the public schools and communities in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Her greatest desire is to see more Hondurans leave poverty behind, as they are transformed through the gospel of Jesus Christ!
MINISTRY FOCUS: Kathy lives in a country that struggles with extreme poverty. With 48.3% of Hondurans living below the poverty line, many struggle to find hope and feel trapped in their poverty. More than half the population are children, often living in abject poverty.
As the director of the Schools of Hope, Kathy, along with her team, minister in the public schools in their district. They teach Bible classes, while providing nutritional food support to the students, giving them the opportunity to share with over 8,500 children!
Kathy also oversee our ChildCARE Plus sponsorships, which helps children achieve their academic goals and provides families a way out of poverty. By partnering with local communities, they bring necessities like water and sanitation into the homes and schools. She also mentors local Hondurans to become leaders in the ministry programs, while equipping them to expand said programs.
Our partnership with Kathy helps families break free from the poverty cycle and move forward, so that they can pursue higher levels of education and meaningful jobs.
MINISTRY HISTORY: Kathy served as a children’s pastor in Canada for over 17 years, working closely with families and their children. She mentored and trained many volunteer teams in various areas of ministry. She also had the opportunity to go on various missions’ trips around the world, where she experienced other cultures. This in turn expanded her worldview to see the world through a different lens.
