Paige serves at the Jungle Hospital in Rio Viejo Honduras as a nurse bringing health hope and healing to the surrounding mountain villagers.
My first mission trip was to Port-au-Prince and up the mountain to a little village in Haiti for 2 weeks. I was young and a new nurse. The poverty hit me. My eyes were forever changed about missions.
Pentecost Sunday May 26, 2021 during my prayer time that morning I had a deep surrender to the Lord (like prostrate on the floor surrender). I went to RiverValley Crosstown, a slide came on the screen about The Jungle Hospital, instantly the Lord said “2 years medical missions Honduras”. It was so clear like he was sitting right next to me.

Disability is something that will effect everyone at some stage of their life. Parents of children with any kind of difference often face differing levels of stigma and very often have difficulty in making use of places and facilities that regular families use based on the needs or behavioral expressions of their loved one. In the UK 11% of children are reported to have disabilities and although it is an economically developed nation, the emotional, psychological and financial implications of raising a child with a disability can be profound. Wales, in particular has some of the highest rates of child disability in the UK. Our heart is to love, empower and equip parents through providing and supporting short breaks for families in difficult circumstances.
