Service Team Information

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” Hebrews 13:16, NIV

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16, NIV

At HNH, we strive not only to serve the poor, but also to be a light for them, pointing back to our heavenly Father. And joining a Service Team is a great way to do both!

While in Honduras, Service Teams help in our Village Medical/Dental/Construction Brigades, play with the children, and partake in an eye-opening experience in a developing country.

  • Joanne

    " The HNH staff in both the US & Honduras make organizing and participating in a mission trip very easy. It is truly a blessing to participate in the brigades & community work."

  • Doug

    "Amazing experience; great staff and a beautiful work. Healthy Niños is changing lives in Honduras. I'm so glad that I was able to volunteer my time with this great organization."

  • Carol

    "I always feel a bit of anxiety about a week before my trip to Honduras, especially given the unsettling political situations everywhere. But when I step out of the luggage area and see [the HNH staff], all anxiety is gone. The team in Honduras, including staff at the house & those who go to the villages, is so attentive to our needs and safety. The drive to the villages, while over steep and rugged terrain, is beautiful and breathtaking. But the best part is seeing and interacting with the people in the villages. The services seem so small in light of the greatness of the need, yet this little bit can make a huge difference."

  • Keith

    "Our experience with Healthy Niños exceeded our expectations. From start to finish the staff supported us. Our team created lasting relationships and memories which will transform their lives. Perhaps the most telling comment was from our student who asked, 'Can we do this again next year?”

  • Jeff

    "This was an impactful experience for me. I deeply appreciated the leadership from HNH, the joyful spirit of the staff in Honduras and the blessing of being able to serve the courageous and amazing people of Honduras."

  • Anonymous

    "I have participated in several short term service trips and this one is great! It was well organized, excellent lodging and travel conditions. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable."

  • Patsy

    "Everyone should experience a short term mission trip to experience poverty first hand. I plan to take all of my grandchildren when they turn 12/13 to help them develop compassion for those who are suffering in the world. The team is excellent and very organized and do a good job."
