In February 2009, members of the Pompey Community Church traveled with a missions team from Howell Community Church (Howell, New Jersey) to La Ceiba, Honduras. The group went to the remote village at the foot of Pico Bonito where they saw 130 patients, and handed out towels, shoes, and T-shirts, and shared the message of God's hope. The trip was coordinated through the efforts of Total Health. The Missions Committee is currently considering additional, direct support to fund the physician who works in La Ceiba, Honduras, and to sponsor another team to build a home in the village.
