A recent gathering of children in ASJ's programs is a reminder that we all matter to God (see the photo slideshow above). These children deserve quality schools, police who protect them, and a democratic system that they can fully participate in. They, and all of us, are part of God’s call to do justice wherever we are. 

Dear Friend,

Last month, almost two hundred teens from ASJ’s impact clubs (a mentoring program for children who live in vulnerable circumstances) gathered in a park outside of Tegucigalpa for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The included photos, taken by former impact club member Edwin Flores, beautifully capture their excitement to be together, make new friends, and talk about how they can serve their communities. I wish I could have been there—by all accounts it was a joyful day in what has been a hard season.

We see these children in our minds’ eye every time we think about ASJ’s mission: to seek justice for Hondurans in the most vulnerable conditions by pushing the government to provide the services they need.

Sometimes we feel discouraged with the challenges of our task. But when I see the faces of these Honduran children, I am reminded of why we do this work and the impact that we are having in their lives and the country:

The impact club children gathered in the park are a reminder that we all matter to God. These children deserve quality schools, police who protect them, and a democratic system that they can fully participate in. They, and all of us, are part of God’s call to do justice wherever we are.



We invite you to join us in shining a light on injustice. Will you give a gift to contribute to this important work of justice? Every gift given to ASJ before December 31 will be matched—your impact will be doubled at any amount. Together, we can look toward a future of safety and flourishing in Honduras.
