Honduran Lutheran Church leaders had a vision for a sustainable health project. Along with members of the North/West Lower Michigan Synod, Salud Para La Vida: Health for Life began in 2005. Through the mission of reconciliation and sharing of gifts, we are able to make a difference by personal involvement in health projects and through accompaniment with the Hondurians.

Accompaniment is a mutual relationship of listening and sharing talents and spiritual gifts while walking together in faith. Recognizing and embracing one another’s gifts is part of our shared journey as the love of God is revealed to us.

As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world.
