Our Why
As the ACA missions team of 2024, we desire to play a part in showing the community of Jericho Ministries the love and value they have as children of God. Being able to share the gospel with them is an incredible privilege, and we hope to make a real difference in their lives. As a whole, we hope to not only impact, but be impacted through the work of Jericho Ministries. This will be an eye-opening experience for all of us that will strengthen our relationship with God, each other, and the kids. We hope that this trip will inspire others to follow the path that the Lord has called us to.
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
1 Peter 4:10-11.

About Our Mission TripAirdrie Christian Academy students will be travelling to Jericho Ministries in Tegucigalpa, Honduras to spend 8 days at the Jericho Villa working with children who have been rescued from very traumatic experiences with poverty and human trafficking.
DATE: March 26 - April 4, 2024
LOCATION: Honduras 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 "healing garden" project is designed to be a community space between the girls houses to provide an area to have special events such as birthdays, staff reunions and other special events; and it is also designed to provide a seating outdoor space for the staff at the villa.

Jericho Ministries
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. |

Going to Honduras was undoubtedly the highlight of my high school experience. When I reflect on those ten days we spent in Honduras, I'm reminded of the goodness of God. I think about the connections that were made and strengthened through the meals we ate together, the games we played, and the testimonies and stories that we shared. I was encouraged by the girls who, despite going through so much in their lives, continued to face each day with a smile. I was also inspired by the dedication and compassion of all those involved with Jericho Ministries and their willingness to serve and advance God's kingdom. The whole experience was truly eye-opening and helped me see the value of community, fellowship, and serving others in a new light."

Going on this missions outreach to Honduras was a transformative experience for me. It brought me closer God while igniting an appreciation for the beauty behind humanity. Witnessing God’s work the lives of those at Jericho and the nation as a whole was inspiring, and the connections I made during the trip deeply impacted my life. This trip was a huge blessing and if I am able to, I would not hesitate to go and serve again.”

“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.”
