“Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.”
1 Thessalonians 5:24
What We Do
— Our Mission
In 2004, God placed a burden on the hearts of Rod and Kristy Rudine to take the Gospel to Honduras. Leaving behind the familiar, they stepped out by faith with nothing more than a calling from God and a desire to obey.
Over the years, the Lord has blessed that simple obedience. What began as one missionary family has grown into a fruitful ministry rooted in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.
We are an Independent Baptist ministry focused on reaching Honduras for Christ—one soul, one home, one community at a time.
To boldly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ
To nurture new believers through discipleship
To establish local, Bible-preaching churches led by faithful men of God
We hold to the authority of Scripture, salvation by grace through faith, and the biblical mandate to make disciples of all nations. Every decision we make flows from our commitment to honor Christ in both message and method.
Rod’s Testimony
Rod met the Lord Jesus at age 29, and as he describes it, he was radically saved. He gave up everything in order to devote as much time as possible to reading the Bible to understand his new life in Christ. Rod had a desire from the beginning to share his faith with others. He worked with door-to-door evangelism and the preaching ministry at the Star of Hope homeless shelter in Houston. Rod made mission trips to Mexico, Africa, and Guatemala before receiving the call of God to full-time missions ministry in Honduras. As Rod says, “It was in the year 2000 that God opened my eyes to the Spanish-speaking population around me and led me to begin to immerse myself in the study of the Spanish language. The purpose was not revealed to me until I was on the trip to Guatemala in early 2004. While on this trip, God gave me a clear call to come out of the United States for full-time ministry to the Central American Country of Honduras.” Just four months later, Rod had his financial support in place and went to live in La Ceiba, Honduras, as an independent Baptist Missionary representing World Hope Ministries International [WHMI] based in Houston, Texas. Through this groundbreaking work in the first Spanish-speaking country for WHMI and the local Honduran pastor that Rod was brought in contact with by God and whom God chose to represent the ministry, the gospel has been preached to several thousand, a couple of new churches have been planted, and Seminary courses are being brought to the leaders through WHMI’s Bible Institute. Rod, along with his faithful wife, is focusing on street preaching and distributing tracts full-time. Rod loves the Spanish-speaking people and worships with the hymns of the Christian faith.
