A bridge on fire, a flat tire and a phone lost on a mountain road—yet the moments that mattered were quieter: a mother rising from her bed to sing, a hundred kids tackling the “villain” in a skit, and a line of children who would not let go of a hug. Kent sits down with Haley Hopson, Debbie Hopson, and Cheyenne DeSell to unpack a Honduras trip that tested nerves and deepened faith, from airport chaos to altar calls that felt like home.

 Four Corners Global Outreach emerged from humble beginnings in 2017 when founder Joel Sneed felt divine direction to establish a coffee business that would fund mission work. By 2019, this vision had expanded into a full-fledged nonprofit operating alongside God's Little One in Honduras, bringing transformation to both mountain villages and dangerous urban neighborhoods. 

One of there projects is the distribution of  ingenious water filtration systems that cost just $25 each but provide families with clean drinking water for up to 20 years. Rather than positioning themselves as a humanitarian organization, Four Corners uses these practical tools to open doors for Gospel presentation, creating relationships that lead to spiritual transformation. They've distributed hundreds of filters throughout Honduras in communities where contaminated water creates serious health issues. 

Perhaps their most ambitious undertaking is Bright Minds Christian Academy, a bilingual school serving children in the Limpera Mountains. What began with just ten students has become a pathway to opportunity for children who previously had no educational options. These students, who initially spoke only Spanish, have made such remarkable progress that they now prefer speaking English—positioning them for future leadership roles both locally and globally. This school represents the long-term vision of Four Corners: raising up indigenous leaders who will transform their own communities.

The ministry doesn't shy away from challenging environments, regularly venturing into what locals call "hot areas"—neighborhoods where violence can be commonplace. In these communities, they've witnessed extraordinary spiritual breakthroughs, including the conversion of a gang member who now serves God faithfully. Whether preaching in pouring rain under a simple shed or going door-to-door in dangerous neighborhoods, Four Corners embodies a mission philosophy centered on following God's leading regardless of comfort or convenience.

Want to experience how international mission work can transform not just those being served but also those who serve? Go on a mission trip and discover how stepping out of your comfort zone can change your perspective forever. As Brother Joel says, "Just go, and watch what it does to you, watch what it does to your family. You'll come back home and everything inside of you has changed."

Journey into the heart of global missions through the eyes of Pastor Joel Sneed, who shares compelling stories from his decades of ministry experience in Honduras. 

Pastor Joel takes us back to his formative years alongside mission pioneers Brother Daniel and Brother Joey Swinnea, recounting adventures that range from humorous mishaps to profound spiritual encounters. 

The conversation reveals how experiencing extreme poverty and witnessing extraordinary spiritual hunger forever altered Brother Joel's perspective. He describes altar services where people would respond with remarkable sensitivity that continues to inspire his work today. Perhaps most moving is Brother Joel's reflection on the legacy of Brother Daniel Swinnnea. 

But Pastor Joel doesn't just look backward—he challenges listeners to discover their own mission fields. "When I walk out these doors today, I'm on the mission field," he explains, dissolving the artificial boundary between foreign and domestic ministry. His practical advice rings with authenticity: "Even a bad mission trip is a good mission trip" because of the relationships formed through shared sacrifice and service.

Whether you're considering your first mission trip or looking to rekindle your passion for reaching others, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical wisdom from someone who has traversed both the physical terrain of Honduras and the spiritual landscape of cross-cultural ministry. What's your mission field waiting to be discovered?

Preston and Kem Moreino's journey with God's Little One Honduras Missions reveals the beautiful, challenging, and sometimes hilarious reality of cross-cultural ministry. In this part 3 with Preston and Kem we talk about times they have had doing missions work in Honduras. 

we start out with talking about one of the first times they went. Planting crops at the GLOW Center and assisting with children's ministry in remote mountain villages. Their experiences quickly shatter the myth that mission work requires specialized preaching or teaching gifts. As Preston emphasizes, "Any work that's done for the Lord is ministry," whether driving, cooking, or constructing buildings.

Through powerful stories like ministering at an unplanned mountain clinic where doctors witnessed God's presence and asked for prayer themselves, the Moreinos demonstrate how the most significant ministry can happen in unexpected, even inconvenient moments. Their candid discussion about cultural differences—including surviving an extended all-night prayer service—offers both wisdom and humor for anyone considering cross-cultural ministry.

Perhaps most moving is their reflection on creating tangible reminders of spiritual experiences. Taking inspiration from biblical memorial practices, they distributed simple rocks to youth retreat participants as physical markers of God's work. These objects become conversation starters, allowing testimonies to spread beyond the mission field and into everyday life.

For anyone wondering if they have what it takes to serve in missions, the Moreinos offer simple encouragement: "Go find your passion, go find your giftings, what God has given you, and start using them in the Kingdom of God." Your willingness to say yes might lead to exactly the transformation someone else needs—and profoundly change you in the process.

Have you considered how God might use your unique gifts in mission work? What's stopping you from taking that first step?

We explore how this four-man scramble tournament has grown from year one to year two despite significant planning challenges.

• The event intentionally follows camp meeting 
• God's provision manifested through overcoming obstacles like securing a golf course just two months before the event
• Support extends beyond church members to local businesses and individuals
• First, second, and third place teams receive cash prizes donated by sponsors
• The tournament demonstrates how recreational events can support global mission work

In this episode we continue our conversation with Preston and Kem Moreino. 

Kem's experience in Germany reveals cultural norm where atheism is taught from kindergarten. Despite this Kem witnessed powerful spiritual breakthroughs as children embraced Christ, often against everything they'd been taught.

The conversation takes a wild turn—literally—as Preston shares hair-raising stories from rural Zambia, where baboons steal children, hippos claim human lives, and elephants silently approach unsuspecting sleepers. These aren't just entertaining anecdotes; they're windows into the very real challenges this village faces in part of the world most Americans will never see.

Their Honduras stories blend humor with profound spiritual impact. From Kem sleeping on a table to Preston's night in a questionable hotel surrounded by "unsavory characters.'' but the most touching was witnessing Catholic mothers weep openly during children's ministry. 

What drives people to embrace such unpredictable, sometimes dangerous circumstances? The Moreinos exemplify a truth echoed by the Apostle Paul: when God calls, obedience matters more than comfort or safety. Their testimony challenges listeners to consider what God might be wanting them to do. And whether they're willing to say yes regardless of the cost.

Preston and Kem Marino's journey from teenage mission trips to global ministry reveals the transformative power of cross-cultural service.

The couple's first experiences—Preston at a North Dakota Native American reservation and Kim in Guatemala at age 15—planted seeds that would grow into a passion for missions. Their raw descriptions of reservation life paint a stark picture: homes in disrepair, rampant substance abuse, cultural rituals involving painful bone piercings, and pervasive hopelessness manifesting in high suicide rates. Yet within these challenging contexts, they witnessed powerful moments of spiritual breakthrough.

Their ministry expanded to multiple countries including Zambia, Haiti, Guatemala, and Honduras, each presenting unique challenges and remarkable stories. From witnessing a man literally raised from the dead during a service in Zambia to breaking spiritual barriers in Haiti when a young girl received the Holy Spirit despite cultural beliefs it "wasn't for Haitians". 

Navigating burning roadblocks during Haitian riots, being stopped at gunpoint by vigilantes in Guatemala, and receiving warnings about targeting gangs in Honduras. These encounters highlight the real costs of answering God's call to "deny what's comfortable" and venture into unfamiliar territory.

Perhaps most relatable are their humorous struggles with cultural differences, from attempting to politely navigate overwhelming food portions to adjusting to three-hour worship services in African churches. As Kim wisely observes, "Blessed are the flexible, for they will not be bent out of shape"—a perfect summary of the mission field mindset.

Once done with our conversation a question is asked. What are you willing to do for God? Whether you're called to overseas ministry or local service, their experiences remind us that following God's will requires sacrifice, flexibility, and courage—but offers the profound reward of participating in His global work and forever expanding your spiritual worldview.

Terry Miles, founder of the SEEK team (Servants Establishing and Equipping Kids), takes us on a powerful journey through children's ministry. With a passionate mission to reach children. Brother Terry and his team bring the Gospel to these kids in other countries and even in the US. 

Terry reveals a troubling pattern he's discovered across continents: "It seems like that is a trend in almost every nation that we go to... they leave the kids behind." The SEEK team delivers clear gospel messages to these kids. 

The impact is undeniable. We hear moving stories from Honduras, where children broke down in tears during worship. In Taiwan, where Christians represent less than 3% of the population, hundreds of non-believing children enthusiastically participated in gospel activities. Perhaps most striking was the scene in Zambia, where elderly women in their seventies listened to the entire puppet presentation and two accepted Christ afterward.

Brother Terry's voice breaks with emotion when asked what he would say to someone who doesn't believe children's ministry is important: "God told us to bring the little ones to him." Brother Tarry shows  his passion for kids ministry and reminds us it's important. 

Through simple tools Terry's team creates unforgettable experiences that plant seeds in young hearts and also have reached the adults as well. 

Listen to this powerful conversation that will challenge your perspective on children's ministry in global evangelism.

As we journey alongside Jared through mountain villages he paints a picture of believers who walk miles to attend services, worship passionately on concrete floors, and build churches by hand with mud bricks. The contrast between American convenience-oriented faith and the sacrificial dedication he witnessed becomes the powerful backdrop for this eye-opening conversation.

From preaching through interpreters to praying for a bedridden woman who experienced miraculous healing. His candid observations capture both the challenges and profound rewards of stepping beyond comfort zones to participate in God's global work.

In this episode we talk about the conviction that true ministry was never meant to be convenient. When Jesus commanded His followers to "go into all the world," He wasn't suggesting they only go when conditions are ideal or comfortable. Jared's fresh perspective reminds seasoned believers and curious newcomers alike that sometimes the most transformative spiritual experiences happen when we're willing to embrace discomfort for a greater purpose.

Ready to examine your own faith through a new lens? This conversation might just challenge you to reconsider what you're willing to sacrifice to follow Jesus' call. The fields truly are white with harvest – will you be among those who answer the call, regardless of the inconvenience it might bring?
