Over spring break this year, March 1\u20138, I was given the opportunity to share the Gospel message through serving the people of Honduras. Our team, led by Cassandra Rakowski, traveled to two primary cities \u2014 San Pedro Sula and Pinalejo \u2014 to bring medical assistance to the Honduran people. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Why Honduras?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The country of Honduras largely struggles with inaccessibility to healthcare, as well as water that carries harmful bacteria.

The goal of this mission trip was to help spread the message of the Gospel \u2014 the good news of salvation that only comes from Christ\u2019s resurrection \u2014 through medical ministry, and we did so alongside Medical Ministry International (MMI). The entirety of our team of doctors, translators, and dentists from both Cedarville and MMI was led by Gustavo Elicegui and his wife, Mildred. Gustavo and Mildred are dedicated to holistic care, helping others achieve physical as well as spiritual health. It was a blessing to be able to serve a total of around 640 patients, who received access to medical, dental, and optometric care. During our week in Honduras, we were able to observe and participate in Kingdom work through serving, praying, and telling others the hope of the Gospel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4580 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/picture-2-honduras.jpg?resize=700%2C930&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Group of smiling female nursing students in scrubs and ID badges posing outdoors in Honduras under a clear sky.\" width=\"700\" height=\"930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/picture-2-honduras.jpg?resize=700%2C930&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/picture-2-honduras.jpg?resize=250%2C332&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/picture-2-honduras.jpg?resize=768%2C1020&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/picture-2-honduras.jpg?resize=1157%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1157w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/picture-2-honduras.jpg?resize=120%2C159&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/picture-2-honduras.jpg?w=1542&amp;ssl=1 1542w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Church Service<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">My time in Honduras was truly a blessing and a week that I will never forget. There are too many memories to put into a few words, but there are a couple that stand out to me. My first core experience of this trip was attending a local church service in San Pedro Sula. Though the service was in Spanish, I could still take part in the joy these church members had in rejoicing in the Lord.

There was a man named Carlos who came through the clinic, and I later discovered he was a pastor. He came through the clinic to get checked out, and I was in charge of triaging him. The first thing I noticed was his hat, and I said, \u201cI like your hat!\u201d\u00a0 He gave me a big smile and offered me his hat. I politely declined; I did not want to take his nice hat! After my time triaging Carlos, he told me he would be back the next day. I did not think too much about it, but the next day, another team member came up to me and told me, \u201cThere is a man over there who requests the nice girl who likes his hat! He wants <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">you t<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">o take his blood pressure.\u201d The picture below is of me and Carlos.
