Meet Our Staff
Mision Caribe holds it’s staff to very high expectations. We train them and guide them to know Christ and help others know him as well. Through evangelism, worship, and volunteering our hearts for the lost are seen in our work and within our relationships with the people of Honduras. We are directed by a national staff which allows us more intimate relationships with the people of Honduras. We are proud of our staff and all the hard work that they accomplish through the strength of Christ Jesus.
