The Headquarters in Siguatepeque, Honduras
Honduras is the second-largest country in Central America. In a territory extending 43,433 square miles (112,492 km²), it is centrally located and bordered by the nations of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea. Among the population of 10.8 million inhabitants, 48.7% are Catholics, 41% Protestants, 8% atheists, agnostics, or profess no religion, and 3% are of other religions. The official language is Spanish; the national exports are primarily agricultural, followed by electronic equipment.
The SDARM arrived in the 1960’s with the visit of our brothers Silvestre Cabanillas from Perú and Felipe García from Argentina. After many years of labor, the message spread to such an extent that in 2016, the Honduran Union was organized, consisting of three Fields with a combined membership of 542 members and approximately 700 regular visitors who attend frequently.
Because of the age of some of our Field and Union headquarters buildings, they have deteriorated over the years. Some remain incomplete, and one of our Fields is without administrative headquarters. We have made great efforts to provide suitable spaces for our offices, meeting rooms for conferences, and the operation of our missionary school for the growing work. This is why we appeal to your generosity, so that together we can achieve our dream of having headquarters that function as lighthouses of truth, where many can gratefully come to know Jesus.
The Lord motivates us to mutual cooperation when carrying out the projects of His work, shown in His direction to Moses: “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.” Exodus 25:2. Devotion to God and a spirit of sacrifice were the first requirements to build the dwelling place of the Most High. The whole community responded unanimously: “And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation” (Exodus 35:21).
We thank you in advance for your generous help with this project. May God greatly bless you.
Your brothers and sisters from Honduras
