Join a mission trip to Honduras: HIV care immersion

Our Honduras mission trips immerse volunteers in HIV care work at Montaña de Luz. Spend time with children at our group home, learn about HIV/AIDS in a developing country context and return home forever changed. Each immersion trip is open to individuals, families, faith communities and corporate groups.

Immerse yourself in a mission trip to our children's home in Honduras

Learn what it means to provide HIV care in a developing country. Our team will guide you through the realities of HIV/AIDS in Honduras, introducing you to the medical, social and cultural dimensions of this work. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of global health challenges and a personal connection to the mission. Living with HIV should not hinder any young person from having a bright future.

Along the way, you will find your heart filled with joy:

  • Love for the children you are getting to know.
  • Admiration for the staff and their remarkable dedication.
  • And a peace that grows from being unplugged from your everyday lives and the distractions of our digital world.

On this mission trip, you will find focus on things that truly matter. And you’ll go home changed forever by your week on the Mountain of Light.

If you’re interested in joining a trip, or scheduling your own group’s trip, please contact MdL Development Director, John Holzaepfel, at john@montanadeluz.org or via phone/WhatsApp at +1 (419)-341-8084.
