About the Church Planters
Shannon Hopkins and his family left behind their “normal” lives and Shannon’s youth ministry position in order to serve and love the people of Honduras.
Shannon’s team shares Christ with Hondurans through a variety of mission and ministry activities. They have a farm, work at a radio station, teach at a Christian school, serve orphans, and help lead a church in Gracias, Honduras.
What will our team be doing?
The teams that come in for one week will do a variety of activities such as leading a youth camp for the kids in the school. At the camp, you will help lead recreation, bible study, worship, small groups, etc. They will do relational evangelism. You may also help on the farm that Shannon runs, and share your testimony on the radio station.
Shannon invites you to come and walk with his team and family as they share the love of Jesus with the people of Honduras.
Safety
At iGo, safety is always a high priority and we take extensive measures to ensure the success of the students on our teams. From registering every student with the embassy, to giving all our leaders training, we do everything in our power to minimize risk and be prepared for any issue that might arise on the field.
Cost
We estimate the cost of this trip to be approximately $4000*. It will cover meals, lodging, airfare, training, in country transportation, travel insurance, etc… everything but souvenirs. We provide all team members with a fundraising guide upon acceptance and other helpful resources.
*Due to the volatility of fuel prices and their effect on travel costs, we can not provide the exact cost until closer to the trip dates.
