The Diaz Family Moves to Honduras


On February 19, 2008 the Diaz family boarded a flight to Honduras following the call of God on their lives. After spending four years working full-time at Washington Cathedral, the church sent Rey and Elise to serve the families living and working in the city garbage dump of Tegucigalpa. When God called Washington Cathedral to focus its international outreach to Tegucigalpa, we dreamed of seeing the garbage dump transformed into a healthy, happy community that exemplified facets of the Kingdom of God. The Diaz family goes to Honduras with the same goal: to work alongside all that God is already doing down in Tegus.
Elise will help with the structure and organization of Amor, Fe, y Esperanza, creating a culture of accountability that will open up the floodgates for future donors. She will also manage the Charity Alliance Organization from Honduras. Rey will focus on the families still stuck in the vicious cycle of life in a garbage dump, building bridges to resources outside the dump so that the abundant life available through the Gospel can have its way.
Please keep the Diaz family in your prayers. They are still part of the staff at Washington Cathedral and will visit twice a year in June and December. More importantly, they are still part of the Washington Cathedral family and it is the giving of its members that allow the Diaz family to go on this journey.

Hey sounds like a wonderful ministry. Our church youth group is coming down to Honduras this summer late in July. We have been told by the kids youth director that we will be able to go out one day to the dumps and hopefully feed all the families. Thank you for serving our Lord, Jesus Christ
