Project ID: HN0001-65006 

Born of the Lutheran Church of Canada’s mission in Nicaragua, LCMS and Nicaraguan missionaries ventured into Honduras 21 years ago and began evangelism efforts in Southern and Central Honduras. Congregations in the U.S. began supporting and visiting the missions and formed a FORO to coordinate mission efforts.

Today, the Honduras Mission consists of three mission congregations served by Brazilian Alliance Missionary Ivan Doebber and pastors from the Lutheran Church Synod of Nicaragua (ILSN). Rev. Junior Martinez serves Mighty Fortress Lutheran Church in La Paz. He and his deaconess wife, Rosa, welcome members and frequent visitors to their campus. Pastor German Espinoza serves two congregations in Nicaragua and visits the mission congregation “Jesus the Redeemer” in Choluteca, a large metropolitan city. Lay leader and seminarian Alberto Osegura, along with members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Comayagüela, lead outreach to their community through children’s activities, Bible classes and Christian teaching as sponsored by LCMS RSO LeadaChild. Another LCMS RSO, MOST Ministries, has supported the churches through eyeglass clinics.

The first residential Honduran seminarian is currently studying at our seminary in the Dominican Republic. 

A retired LCMS missionary pastor and his wife bring deaconess and deacon training to the country and fortify the mission. Through team efforts and in coordination with the Honduras FORO, Latin American Caribbean Region, LCMS, and partner LCMS congregations, the Honduras mission shows great potential for growth as they Spread the Gospel, Plant Lutheran Churches and Show Mercy.
