At ACA our vision is to equip and disciple generations for Christ, and mission trips are an integral part of teaching our students to know love and serve the Lord at school, at home, in our communities and to the ends of the earth. Mission trips have many benefits to our school and community, but even more importantly to the students who travel and learn to share the love that Christ has put in their hearts. Jesus told us that even He came to serve and not be served and give his life in ransom for many (Matt 20:28). Therefore we, as disciples of Christ, are privileged to do the same. The children of Jericho live in a beautiful home in the country outside the Honduran Capital city, Tegucigalpa. These children were rejected by their parents and often abused in their communities, and absolutely love it when groups visit from different countries and “choose” to help in their healing process. It is always a mutual blessing for our students to connect with these children and share stories, work hard and have fun together.

“My first trip to Honduras was the hardest but most eye opening experience of my life. It taught me and showed me what selfless love is and how we have a Heavenly Father who loves us no matter what. I had struggled with understanding what having a personal relationship with God was and the trip opened my eyes to knowing that God desired one with me. The biggest moment was seeing the children at Jericho and the love and forgiveness they had - all they wanted was to love and be a light like Christ. To this day, that first experience pushes me and challenges my faith through good and tough times. I will never forget the children’s smiles and the light of Jesus that was leading them - they still remind me to live and grow in my relationship with Christ.”

“Both of my Honduras trips were powerful formative experiences for me. I came to know more deeply the joy of service and community and I returned to Canada humbled and edified, with a broadened perspective and recognition of my privilege.”

“My time with Jericho Ministries was a time of growth, joy and learning. At Jericho, I witnessed and experienced the deep and true joy that is found in the life surrounded by Jesus. I was reminded that following Him is worth it, even when the road feels unclear. Through the testimonies of the children and staff I was reminded that Jesus is more than enough and He is worthy of all our trust. I was challenged to embrace opportunities for connection and learning in both the mundane moments and in the exciting adventures. I was blessed by the generous hospitality and openness of the community, and I seek to emulate this in my daily life. This time deeply informed my view of living on mission and has forever shaped my view of the gospel.”
