Missions...

Missions at Hillside can be described by two words, “focused relationships”. At Hillside we have a mission’s philosophy of being focused on only a few missions where we can build relationships with the people to assist them in changing their community for Christ. Currently that focus is in San Antonio and Honduras.

OUR MISSIONARIES IN SAN ANTONIO
JOE & LEDE ANGUIANO
Pastor Joe and his wife, Lede and the ministry of Young Vision ministers to children and families on the east side of San Antonio. Every Sunday they take buses into the projects and pick up children to bring them to their church where they can learn of the love of Jesus Christ. They also do various events in the community throughout the year to spread the gospel. Each of the last four summers, Hillside has taken youth and adults to Young Vision to do a VBS program for the kids, construction projects around the church, and provided food and clothing to needy people in the community. We have also done mini-trips each of the last three Decembers to provide Christmas gifts and meals to needy families in the community.

OUR MISSIONARIES TO HONDURAS
JIM & GLENDA FABER
Jim & Glenda Faber and their Eternity’s Call ministry have been ministering in the town of Comayagua, Honduras for the past 11 years. Jim played professional soccer and uses soccer as a means to reach people with the gospel. Jim is also a real entrepreneur and has started a number of businesses for the people of Honduras. He has also started a Bible School with 21 students completing their first semester this past December. This year they have been given the opportunity to partner with the local government to build and operate an Olympic soccer training facility, the first soccer training facility in all of Honduras. During the summer of 2004, Jim connected Hillside with a start-up church in city of Danli and it has started a relationship that we believe will last for years to come.

THE CHURCH IN DANLI, HONDURAS
During the summer of 2004, Jim Faber connected Hillside with a start-up church in Danli, Honduras. Danli is located near the Nicaragua border approximately two hours east of the capital city of Tecucigalpa. The Danli church is led by four key families in the community. Recently Arturo, one of the men from these four families, has left a good job in the school system in Danli to become the pastor of the Danli church. Hillside has gone to Honduras the last four summers with groups to do VBS programs, soccer tournaments, construction projects, and various other ministries in the city. Hillside has assisted the Danli church in purchasing land and constructing a building on the property. The church began to meet in the building in the spring of 2006 and has now grown to over 100 members.
