Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your holy name. Good and merciful God, on this day, we raise our hands in thanksgiving for all your goodness and for your infinite love. We want to exalt your name because you loved us first, thank you for your great love reflected through your son Jesus Christ and your Holy Spirit. In this hour, we pour out our hearts before you, and we raise a cry for Honduras, as your word says in Luke 3:4, \u201cVoice of one crying in the wilderness…\u201d so we cry, God, for our nation that you might have mercy and not forget your sons and daughters. Look, God, at all that we Hondurans are going through; \u201cwe want to see the salvation of God in our nation.\u201d We ask your forgiveness for everything that is not to your liking, we ask your forgiveness if our hearts have turned away from you, remembering your promise as your word says: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14). We ask this in the name of your son Jesus. Amen!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

CCD carried out social projects in the areas of local economic development, food security, migration, risk management, medical brigades, and construction groups that rebuilt schools, kindergartens, and local churches, among other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n

With support from Global Ministries, the Christian Development Commission of Honduras has changed the lives of men, women, children, and at-risk youth, improving their quality of life and their family income and developing their communities. We see the change reflected in the testimonies of each completed project. We are blessed to be part of Global Ministries and honored to be part of this great work of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCD Executive Director Nancy Romero shares, \u201cAs Executive Director of the Christian Development Commission (CCD) I want to tell you that there are not enough words to thank the brothers and sisters of the Disciples of Christ and the United Church of Christ through Global Ministries with whom we have many stories that have filled our hearts with joy and happiness with each project or work group that we bring to the most vulnerable families in our country Honduras.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
