My name is Taylor Chester and I am from Calgary Alberta. I currently serve in Siguatepeque, Honduras as a grade 5/6 teacher at a local Christian Bilingual School. My school serves the local community and has a Preschool to grade 11 program. Our school’s mission is: “To facilitate the transmission of knowledge, values, and attitudes through a transforming education based on the Word of God.”
The goal of this is to create future leaders to change Siguatepeque and Honduras for Christ. It is a blessing to be a part of this community and to have the opportunity through English classes as well as Bible classes to teach my students more of who God is and to be a light in their lives. It has been incredible to witness how God is working in their hearts and their lives as they come to know Him more and more. Many families (and an orphanage) in the area send their children to the school so that they can learn English. It is an amazing opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ with them!
I am also involved with a church in a neighbouring community called Aguas del Padre where only 3% of the adult have attended high school. Our church is involved in serving the community through various ministries including a weekly Awana program. They are also working in partnership with a new ministry called Just One.
This ministry is currently working with youths in the community and providing scholarships, weekly Bible studies and homework support as well as planning projects to meet the needs of the community, such as providing pilas to various families. I have started volunteering to help with their study hours.
I am excited to continue to serve in this wonderful country God has called me to!
