We are transitioning to an expanded regional ministry with World Gospel Mission, but we will continue to be "overholthonduras.org." We have set up this page to provide our overview of all that we do. We have spent our entire careers with World Gospel Mission. Our three children and their families have been our greatest encouragement in the ministry in which we are presently involved.

In pursuit of holistic growth, our goal is to stimulate the spiritual growth of students and to educate them in life skills. They are given supporting education knowledge, such as learning computer, while fostering the values and competitiveness of our graduates. A vocational education helps promote innovation and entrepreneurship through the identification and development of business ideas for later use.
We are thankful for all that God has done in our lives this year. We work with a fantastic team. We are convinced that there are people in place who can do a great job of continuing with the vision that God has given to all of us. We could not do anything without your help. Thank you!
History of the school- In 2000, the Choluteca regional ministry team concluded that vocational education was one of the biggest needs in the region. Vocational education was viewed as a great opportunity to facilitate community transformation and could be used to teach skills that would enable graduates to obtain better jobs.
Our regional community health promotion program was started in 2015. The program has reached thousands of school children in five communities. Health promoters have worked in the the homes of people in the community of Apacilagua. Our health promoters have developed an after-school 4-H program to mentor and engage youth in the communities.
The Choluteca regional ministry started in 1999 as a result of Hurricane Mitch. The immediate need was to establish a church in the region. The result to date is ten established congregations. The church continues to be involved in the transformation of people's lives and is expanding into new communities around Choluteca. The church is the foundation of all that we do.
Employers are interested in hiring college graduates who have international experience and a global vision. They seek to build a workforce that is capable of interacting with people of different cultures. Students recognize the value in obtaining international experience and building relationships with people from other nations. Educational institutions are responding to the challenge of providing international experience to the university education. Honduras is a great option for your study abroad experience.
The nursing high school is a Step Program. Our program not only prepares our graduates to go into the nursing profession, but to also directly enter the university nursing program. Our graduates are qualified for existing positions in nursing and are prepared to open new occupational opportunities. The nursing high school program has the potential to transform health care in Honduras.
Everything we do involves education. However, only 31.7% of the youth between the ages of 15-17 are attending classes. It is essential that we be involved in helping young people obtain an education that will prepare them to find dignified jobs. Students in our vocational school and in the nursing high school may be sponsored for the amount of $1000 per year.
