Ep. 22 - From Indiana to Honduras: A Million Dollar Miracle
Send us a text
A Christmas promise made in desperation. A small Midwestern town demonstration of compassion. A struggling Honduran village where families go days without food. These seemingly unrelated elements converge in an extraordinary story of connection that demonstrates how compassion can bridge any divide. We explore the remarkable story of how the communities of Greensburg, Indiana and Cucuyagua, Honduras formed an unlikely but powerful connection through compassionate community action.
When Tom Ricke's wife Susan faced a life-threatening medical emergency on Christmas Day 1990, he made a vow to God—if she survived, he would do anything asked of him. Years later, Father Carlton Beever visited their church in Greensburg, Indiana, sharing heartbreaking stories of children and families struggling to survive in Honduras.
What followed defied all expectations. The parishioners of St Mary’s Church and community of Greensburg mobilized in unprecedented ways. Even Mayor Joshua Marsh joined the mission, traveling to Honduras and forming meaningful connections. What resulted was not just building houses, but comprehensive support systems including community centers, feeding programs, education facilities, and job training.
This powerful story reminds us that when hearts break open for others, churches, families and even local students can create extraordinary change. Join us to discover how two communities separated by distance, language, and circumstances found common ground in compassion and created a miracle that continues to grow.
