He also facilitates training and evaluation workshops in other Central American countries. Gloria coordinates study tours and mission team visits from the United States. Heifer Project brings hope to families through the possibility of raising their own animals and receiving benefits from them.

The Mark and Ashley Wright — Congregational Development/Partnership Facilitators

The Presbyterian Church in Honduras consists of 18 Presbyterian churches. These churches are located in a 60-mile radius of the capital city Tegucigalpa. Money contributed to this account will help to send and support mission workers to facilitate the coordination of partnership relationships between the Presbyterian Church in Honduras and PC(USA) entities. They will also play a role in helping build the capacity of the local church leaders to manage partnership relationships, joint projects and visit coordination. The Rev. Mark and Ashley Wright are currently serving in this ministry.

Other Support
