Autosostenible is the Spanish word for “sustainable”
A Year of Investing 2017 was a year of investing. In construction terminology you would say that we were digging our footings deep in order to build our building on a solid foundation. The “building that we are building” is an infrastructure that will eventually lead to a grass roots revival throughout Western Honduras. One Church in Each Village in this Generation is one slogan that we use to keep us focused on the goal. We also talk about what it will be like once we realize our dream of one church in each village by saying it will be a John 1010 Generation. The John 1010 reference alludes to the abundant life in Christ and the 1010 represents 1,010 churches. The Moses Project is one of the key programs that we are using to train leaders that will plant churches in the surrounding region. Ostensibly, the project is a residential center for young men, aged 13 to 19 years old, that permits them the opportunity to finish their high school education while learning cutting-edge agricultural practices. While in our program each boy will train for 5 hours a day in one of the three agribusiness areas that make up the Moses Project. They will attend school at night to finish junior high and senior high school. They also receive Bible courses appropriate for their level and age. During the year of 2017 we had 46 boys in residence. The costs of housing, feeding, clothing and educating these young men at present is funded by donations. God graciously provided $1,000,000 in donations and another $1,500,000 in loans that is allowing us to invest so heavily in agribusinesses. In the future however, with the investment that we made in 2017 combined with the investment that we are making in 2018 we will one day, Lord willing, be able to generate enough revenue to sustain the entire cost of feeding, housing, educating and discipling these young men. Autosostenible is the Spanish word for “sustainable” meaning that at least for the operational costs that are required to maintain the ongoing operations at the Moses Project we will not be dependent on donors. Our projections show, that if things go as planned, by December 2020 the Moses Project will be self-sustaining. So, over the next several years we will be investing with our eye on that goal. This will allow donations to expand ministry in other areas.
