About Parish to Parish Relationships
A vibrant person-to-person ministry for Central Florida churches is the Parish-to-Parish Ministry. The goal is to have a Central Florida parish in one-to-one relationship with a Honduran parish in one of the three focus Honduran deaneries. This very face-to-face, heart-to-heart, hand-to-hand ministry calls for a five year covenant to get to know each other and mutually share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in whatever ways are most needed and most effective–for both parishes. It’s one thing to do a week of relatively anonymous short term mission. It’s entirely another thing to enter into a five year covenantal relationship and to be able to clearly see the light of the Christ in someone’s eyes and watch them, their families, parish and village grow in the Lord over a period of five years.
‘Big, rich church’ status is not required to have a parish-to-parish relationship. What is most needed is a willingness to respond to God’s gentle nudge and take a next small step. Most Central Florida folks doing ministry in Honduras would tell you something like “I never, ever thought about going to Honduras until….”
Three common phrases are heard from Central Floridians involved in Honduras ministry: “They don’t do things the way we would do them–at all.”,  “They do so much with so little” and  “I’m amazed by the depth and determination of their Faith in God.”
