We have been partnered with a church in Danli, Honduras for over a decade through Great Commission Latin America (GCLA). The primary focus of this partnership has been short term mission trips over the Virginia Tech Spring Break each March. Those trips focus on the Gospel through evangelism, cultural exchanges, university visits, hospital visits, kids programs, and clean water projects. Read below for more information!
God has used the local church in Danli, Honduras (part of the GCLA network of churches) to be a part of his greater Kingdom work for nearly two decades. Each year we get the chance to visit this "extended family" of ours, coming alongside their local church to amplify their impact in the surrounding neighborhoods. When we visit, we bring gifts for the church and neighborhood that we believe are a great way to be the hands and feet of Jesus- whether through Spanish Bibles, soccer balls, or water filters. One major way the church ministers in their neighborhood is through their Children's Development Center, or CDI in Spanish. Anyone can sponsor a child to be part of this amazing program!
Each March, during the Virginia Tech Spring Break, we take a team of students, alumni, and friends to visit our sister church in Danli. Recruiting for the trip begins in the Fall prior to the trip. Read below for more about the trip!
This trip could not happen without the support of many.

Since March of 2008, we have been building a great relationship with a Great Commission Church in Danli, Honduras. On our trips to Danli, we have done many things: we’ve been able to help rebuild homes, install water filters, give out shoes/food clothing to those in need, help work on the new church building and nutrition center, build roofs, and share about Jesus Christ.
We look forward to going on these trips every year. If you’re interested in joining us on one of our trips down to Honduras or would like some more information, email honduras@nlcf.net.
The trips are typically over Virginia Tech’s Spring Break each year in March, and recruitment is generally in September/October of each year.

We come alongside the local church and simply be with them for the week we are there. That includes worshipping together!
