Linaje Escogido
has a heart that aches
Amazing Comfort Ministries has been partnering
with Linaje Escogido Church since 2014, carrying out medical brigades, vacation Bible
schools, youth sports camps, crafts projects,
personal encounters and much more.
The Lord has truly brought us together to glorify his Name!
Linaje Escogido is a dynamic close-knit Church
founded in 2002 by Peter and Martha Hearne, in Villa San Antonio (La Villa), Honduras.
The Vision and Mission of Linaje Escogido Church is to transform lives and bring
families together through Bible-based discipleship, intense worship and dedicated community
service.
Many communities like "La Villa" in Honduras have children, young and adults that have
been raised without a father, sometimes without both their parents, or have been raised
without love and God's word, Linaje Escogido is a family-based church where main pastors are
even called "Papi and Mami" providing God's word, parental love, advice...
Linaje Escogido and Amazing Comfort ministries follow God's instruction:
...It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35 -
God has called us to move the church outside of a building, we have a heart that aches
to reach the
poor and the unchurched, transforming lives and bring families to Christ.
The outreach program we have partnered with Linaje Escogido aims to help, uplift, and support those
who are deprived of certain services and rights. It involves giving learning,
social planning, health support, and other projects for their welfare.
As a result of a critical need for medical services for the poor families in La Villa, "Samuel" Medical Center was founded in August 2015, attending the seniors and children from Linaje Escogido’s feeding centers. An average of 480 people are currently attended monthly.
The center provides food, ministers love to some 60 “Abuelitos”, gives them the opportunity to grow in the knowledge of God’s Word, and to feel useful through arts and crafts projects, and have fun playing and simply gathering together.
The center provides nutritious meals, bible schools, and crafts to 40 children attending the feeding center. Meals are provided twice a week. Their mothers are actively helping prepare lunches; there are also periodic programs for the mothers filled with God’s word, crafts, and skills that may be used to start a business.
Linaje Escogido Church sponsors many events in La Villa and Comayagua. These events bring youth from throughout La Villa together — Christians and non-Christians alike. Some events include sports clinics, vacation bible school, crafts with women, and evangelistic events at the central park.
