Una Luz de Esperanza is a ministry of the Missioners of Christ in Honduras. Una Luz is our women’s ministry aimed at bringing the love of Christ to women in spiritual, emotional, and economic crisis. These women are mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends, what happens in their hearts pours over into their homes and families…
Mission: Our mission is to improve the quality of life of women by forming them in their Catholic faith, helping them to receive an education, providing them with a means to support themselves and their families through basic skills development, and above all, witnessing Christ to them, in them, and through them.
Vision: Our vision is that in accomplishing our mission we will see the dignity of women restored. We hope to be a source of healing, a source of strength and grace to women living in poverty: materially, spiritually emotionally. To be a light of hope.
Personal reflection:
This ministry means the world to me. Having the privelege to be a part of these women’s lives has been a challenge yet a freedom. Their strength in the midst of chaos is inspiring, and though I am supposedly a missionary coming to them, they do not realize that they are missionaries to me, as they bring God’s love and hope to me each time I am with them or think of them. Please keep these beautiful women, their children, and their families in your prayers.
