Next, mission groups continue to help Hondurans recover from the effects of Hurricane Mitch. JAARS’ teams have been working to repair homes and lives in La Ceiba. Nearly 80-percent of the agriculture was destroyed and almost a quarter of the population was left homeless from the 1998 hurricane. As they reach out to rebuild a country set back a half century from the storm, they are also able to share the Gospel. So far, 11 homes have been completed and with another eight finished by this summer.
