Be a Part of Trinity UMC’s Team for LMI’s March for Women

Hi Trinity Church Family,

I’m excited to share that I’m leading a team for March for Women, and I would love for you to join me.

March for Women is a virtual walking and running challenge that supports young women leaders in Honduras through Leadership Mission International. Throughout the month, participants commit to moving a set number of miles—walking, running, hiking, or however you like—and every mile represents progress toward education, leadership, and opportunity for women who are changing their communities.

How it works:

• You’ll register through our team page: https://runsignup.com/Race/Register/RaceGroup-2012566?raceId=177843
• The $50 sign up fee goes directly towards supporting women in Honduras, and you’ll receive inspiring motivational messages throughout the month. And entry into a raffle!
• Choose a mileage goal for the month of March that feels realistic for you.
• Track your miles online as you move throughout the month.
• Share encouragement, photos, and updates along the way.

Why I’m doing this:
I believe deeply in the impact of women investing in women—and in showing up together. Every step we take helps fund leadership education and real opportunities for women who are already leading change where they live.

Whether you’re a runner, a walker, or someone who just wants to move more intentionally this season, you belong on this team. I hope you’ll join me.

Let’s move together.

With gratitude,
Chris Moore

Dan and Chris Moore spend several months a year in Honduras teaching young women to be leaders in their communities. They and other volunteers teach classes in business, English, sewing, agriculture, etc. About once a year, the Moores arrange a group trip for Trinity's members to experience this life-changing work.

From the Leadership Mission International website:

Leadership Mission International (LMI) invites women from rural areas throughout Honduras to engage in their own personal development journey at The Leadership Center (TLC). During their two years on campus, young women receive a nationally accredited education and the mentorship and support to become change agents leading entrepreneurial ventures and sustainable development in their communities.

Heart to Heart’s mission is to rescue and care for orphaned and destitute children of Honduras, of which there are so very many. The Heart to Heart Ministry serves a poor rural community in northeastern Honduras and their Children’s Village, home to 80 children, is in Tegucigalpita. Heart to Heart also has a nearby church and medical clinic which both serve the local community.

Trinity has entered into a covenant relationship with Heart to Heart. We have enthusiastically embraced their ministry with our promises of prayers as well as financial and service assistance as we are able. Most importantly, we will keep the children in our prayers and hearts as God works in their lives. We have sent two short-term mission teams to Honduras in 2011 and hope to send more teams in the near future.
