At the same time, they experiencing cross-cultural missions making a difference as a teacher, church, and children’s worker, and at the same time being a blessing to the veteran missionaries getting more acquainted with the ministry, the language, the culture..
Tiffany Bacon
Long-Term Missionary
Teaching in Santa Rita, Honduras
Salvation Testimony
I was ten years old at Vacation Bible School. The theme was the army, and I knew I was not in the Lord’s army, so I went and asked my Pastor’s wife. She led me to the Lord in my church building.
Call to the Ministry
I was first called in 2016 at summer camp as a teenager with the verse Luke 5:10. God allowed me to go to Guatemala in 2019, which burdened my heart for Hispanic Missions. I changed my major to education and added a minor after this trip. I started to pray for a school in Central or South America if God allowed it (or wherever He wanted me to go). This past summer, I had the opportunity to serve with Leroy and Amber Rolston for almost a month. God gave me peace and showed me that this new door opened for me. I decided to surrender to go and stay for as long as God allows.

Moises Escobar
Roatan, Honduras
Pastor
When I was seven, a child evangelist visited our church. Through his preaching, God touched my heart. I accepted Christ on November 27, 2005. When I was 15 during a missions conference at my home church, God touched my heart through a message. The phrase that touched my life was who will go if no one preaches. After graduating from New Life Seminary in Sabanagrande, Honduras, I served with my father as associate pastor in Copan Honduras. God has prepared me to work with Brother Mark Schuler as the Assistant Pastor at Iglesia Bautista Fe Viviente, as well as teaching at Solid Rock Christian School.
Bella Souza
Roatan, Honduras
Teaching
Growing up, I frequently visited my family in Brazil and from that I always had a desire to live overseas. Coming to college, I believed God was leading me to education and soon I saw that I could use this as an opportunity to teach overseas. This desire soon became an idol in my life, however, and I knew I needed to surrender it to the Lord. After praying and trusting that there would be no unimportant place where God places me I told God I would be willing to go wherever He wanted me to go, even if it meant staying in the States. Soon after surrendering this desire to teach overseas, I was introduced to the ministry in Roatan and after much prayer, I believe this is where God might be calling me as I can best use the gifts and desires He has given me for His glory. God has burdened me for the salvation of students and this is my main goal in teaching wherever God leads.
Jhosep &Sarah Hinds
Long-Term Missionary
Teaching in Sabanagrande, Honduras
Aften taken three mission trips to Honduras, I am now teaching first grade in the Hodges ministry. God called me to the field on my first mission trip to Honduras in 2016. There is such a need for godly Christians to serve Him all over the world, but for me, I felt God telling me there is a need here, and I can serve here! I have completed my first year as a teacher here in Honduras, and I can confidently say that God has called me to full-time missions.
Joseph & Abbi Hodges
Life Missionaries
Serving in Honduras
• The Lord needs people to fully surrender to Him. Though I cannot speak for others, Abbi and I have determined to be fully surrendered to God. Through reading the Scriptures, I see the main way to do this is by evangelizing and edifying. We are returning to Honduras, where I grew up, to serve alongside my parents, who have been in Honduras for 20 years. I will serve as assistant/youth pastor, Bible institute teacher, and church coordinator. Abbi will serve in ladies’ discipleship, children’s ministry, and our bilingual school. We both thoroughly enjoy evangelizing and edifying together.

Church Planters among the Native Americans of the Northwest
We arrived on the Blackfeet Reservation in the spring of 1991. Since being there, we have had the privilege of maintaining an pre-existing church as well as help start two other churches in different towns on the reservation. Each church now has a pastor and is going well. God has now moved us to the Yakama Indian Reservation in Washington to plant churches among the Yakama people..

My wife teaches in the Christian school started by the Hodges. We were married in December 2016, and are now on Deputation raising support to return to the field soon where we will continue to serve and minister to the people of Honduras alongside missionaries Sam and Julie Hodges in their church ministries.
David & Grace Im
Missionaries – Seoul South Korea
Training future national church planters
God has led us to serve in South Korea. We have continued to ask God what I should do, and He has given us the opportunity to be involved in various children and youth ministries in the church ,work in educational institutions, and manage soldiers in the Marine Corps. Through this, God has given us the burden to evangelize the upcoming generation and train them to be strong warriors for the Lord. Our nation is losing the next generation. The next generation that seriously loves God is dwindling exponentially. We need churches and schools that are reaching children with the love of Jesus, nurturing them in the Word, and training them to be good soldiers for God. — Read More —

Miller, Hailey
Teaching at Solid Rock Christian School
While I was in high school, God used sermons and my personal devotions to burden me with a passion for missions. However, it was not until I attended Appalachian Bible College that I realized God had called me to the mission field. During the college’s missions conference, God was working in my heart about the great need for foreign missions. It was then that I fully decided to serve God wherever and however He desires. In high school, I had considered the possibility of serving on a Pacific Island as a missionary, but I hadn’t given it much thought. After my junior year of college, I had the opportunity to serve on the island of Guam. I also took a short trip to Japan to assist missionaries there. For next year, I will be going to Roatan to serve. I did not realize how God would use these experiences to prepare me for the unique challenges encountered in this type of field. I have always wanted to become a teacher. When I was in high school, God showed me how teaching can be used as a door to another country. I pray God will use teaching as a way for me to share the gospel with students wherever I serve.
Bessy Munoz
Representing Escuela Bautista
I accepted Christ at a Christmas service in Santa Teresa, Honduras. The Lord had been working on my heart. At the same time, I lived in a different area, I moved to Santa Teresa to be near Christian family members, as I was searching to know God, I had been witnessed to many times through the work of New Life Baptist Church, the Lord used all of this to work on me and I finally surrendered and gave my heart and life to Him.
For four years, I taught Bible classes in public schools through a ministry affiliated with my local church. This caused a burden in my heart to reach young people, as the Lord had used other people to reach me when I was young.
I worked four years teaching Bible in public schools, for the last four years I have taught in a Christian high school in Santa Teresa, Honduras, and the last year and a half, I have continued to work in this high school on the weekends and during the week
Maynor & Anna Munoz
Church Planting in Honduras
Maynor
When I was 15, I accepted the Lord as my personal Savior. I had grown up in a pastor’s home, heard the Gospel at an early age, but it was not until this time that I truly understood my need of a personal Savior and accepted Jesus Christ into my heart.
Anna
I know that the Lord called me to missions at a youth conference when I was 13 years old. For many years, I have spent time serving in my church, helping my family, through homeschooling and helping families in my community. The Hodges recruited to be a missionary teacher at New Life Christian School in Honduras. For the last nine years, I have worked as a nanny and homeschool tutor. I have taught and worked with all ages, from newborn to 19. This has become my ministry, as I have been able to work with and minister to people who do not attend church, or do not attend a biblically sound church.

HBM Field Director
Our vision is to share with the children and adults that there is ONE who loves them more than anyone else ever has by feeding the hungry, relieving some of the pressure of caring for the poor and needy. As we share the Gospel and the power that comes through salvation in Him, lives are changed, leaders motivated to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and preachers, who are dedicated to service for the Lord, are trained to plant fundamental Bible believing Baptist churches.

Please pray that God will continue to use my life to be a light for Him in my school, church, and community.
Nathan & Eileen Riddick
Long-Term Missionaries
The Lord has given us a valuable set of skills and a love for the world’s most vulnerable. He has called my wife and me to orphan care, working with Guardians of Hope. Seven houses are currently under construction to expand the orphan care ministry. My wife and I will be working to manage the daily operations and loving on the children. Because of Zambian restrictions, we will not live directly in the home with the children, but we will have very close contact with them at all times. The doors to our home will be open, allowing us to train them biblically.
We will also have a big part in church planting throughout the remote parts of the bush, working side-by-side with National Pastor‘s in getting new churches up and running, filling the Pulpit when needed, while also teaching them every day problem-solving to better equip them for the many problems that often arise in a ministry. There have been 17 churches planted to date. With new opportunities presented every day, but a lack of people to do the work, the need is great.
Robert & Reveca Small
Long-Term Missionaries
New Life Childrens Home
Sabanagrande, Honduras
Robby –
When I was 13, God called me to full-time vocational ministry, and at the time, I believed I was to be a Pastor of a local church. I went to college to study Pastoral Ministries and added a second major of Violin Music Performance to equip myself for the ministry better. During my sophomore and junior years, God began to show me my love for children’s ministry, and while serving in Master Clubs, a special speaker spoke of the need for more Children’s Home Administrators. this message did not leave my mind. Then, I went on a mission trip and later a survey trip to Saban Grande, Honduras, with Pastor Sam and Julie Hodges. I absolutely loved their ministry, and when they told me they were looking for a Children’s Home Administrator, I began immediately praying to see if God wanted me in Honduras. Over the next 2 years God clearly began to show me that He had been preparing me my whole life for a Children’s Home Ministry. I believe that children are near and dear to the heart of God, as stated in Matthew 19:14: “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” I am so excited to see what children God will entrust to me in the future to love, train, and nurture in the admonition of the Lord.

Miss Jennifer Yoder
Long-Term Missionary serving in Honduras
Teaching
When I was in high school, I knew I was being called into graphic design. I loved art, especially the thought of designing several pieces for a campaign. I wasn’t sure what life would look like after college. Throughout college, I would hear sermons in which the preacher would say that graphic designers were needed in the mission field. That’s when I knew that no matter what, I wanted to be a part of that. At the time, I thought that I would help from the States with some visits here and there. During college, I had the opportunity to work in several children’s ministries for kids of various ages. I always loved those times of working with kids. After college, I joined staff at PCC, but I knew I wanted to be somehow involved with kids more than once a week. The Lord started showing me different possibilities. I got to meet the Rolstons at my church’s Missions Conference. And when I went to Honduras to visit their ministry, I loved my time there, and I knew that’s where I should go. It was like He was lighting the path one step at a time.
