Partner with us in healing and teaching in the mountains of Honduras

Your prayers and gifts stand behind Sharon's work in the Salt & Light clinic and Chris's tutoring. If you'd like to give, PayPal takes a one-time or monthly gift and is not tax-deductible. Melbourne Community Church receives tax-deductible gifts: email hello@melbournecommunitychurch.org to say it is for Honduras, then give online, or mail a check with Honduras on the memo line.

At Chris & Sharon in the Lake Yojoa area of Honduras, we serve with Salt & Light, and you can pray with us or give once or monthly.

Thank you for considering our work in Honduras worthy of your support. We could not do it without you!

Pray with us

Pray with us for clear direction on where to serve next.

Here is what is on our hearts right now:

  • For Sharon as she assists in the Salt & Light clinic: wisdom and a gentle touch with every patient.
  • For Chris and the students he tutors who are struggling: patience, and good days when things click.
  • For our Spanish, which we are still learning.
  • For rest and good health for both of us.
  • For the families of the Lake Yojoa area, our friends and neighbors.

If you'd like to share a prayer request of your own, email us at thestrunas@gmail.com. We would love to pray for you too.
