Hugo Miranda of The Moses Project<br />

Hugo Miranda has an undeniably important role in<br />

The Moses Project. Hugo as the Director has oversight<br />

of the entire operation of the project. Two assistant<br />

directors assure that the actual agricultural areas run<br />

smoothly and efficiently. Hugo is directly responsible<br />

for the success of the academic and spiritual training of<br />

the young men.<br />

Hugo emphasizes that the most important purpose<br />

of the project is to create spiritual leaders that can<br />

return to their homes and transform their families<br />

and communities. These future leaders will also be<br />

equipped with a variety of agricultural technology and<br />

business skills that will bring jobs and income to their<br />

towns. It is easy to see how The Moses Project supports<br />

the MUR goals for over 1,010 self-led, self-sustaining,<br />

and self-replicating churches in this generation – The<br />

John 1010 Generation.<br />

The Moses Project producing “better people”<br />

Franklin Omar Rodríguez Ramírez<br />

Nickname - Pankin<br />

From San Andreas Minas, La<br />

Unión, Copán<br />

“I had finished the 9th grade in<br />

my home town when a former<br />

class mate told me about the Moses<br />

Project. I asked him for the contact<br />

information for the director and after<br />

calling him we set up an interview.<br />

The director came, interviewed me<br />

and offered me a spot in the project.<br />

I believe that this project has<br />

been a great help to not only myself<br />

but to all the boys here. The Moses<br />

Project helps us change into better<br />

people. It teaches us much about God<br />

and His word and that is the most<br />

important thing we learn here. We<br />

also learn how live and work with<br />

people from different towns and<br />

villages.<br />

I plan to graduate from college<br />

with a degree in Agricultural<br />

Engineering and my dream would<br />

be to work full-time with the Moses<br />

Project. Before coming to the project<br />

I had in my mind that graduating<br />

high school and findng a job was<br />

all that there was for me. I never<br />

even thought going to college would<br />

be a possibility! In my time here<br />

I have learned some carpentry<br />

and graduated high school but<br />

my biggest achievement is that I<br />

was baptized. That is my greatest<br />

achievement and the best decision I<br />

have ever made.<br />

I want to say “Thank you” to all<br />

those who make this project possible.<br />

It is a great opportunity and please<br />

continue your involvement so that<br />

the project can continue to grow. God<br />

bless you all!”<br />

Franklin was interviewed by<br />

our own Jon Stacy, and here is<br />

what Jon had to say after the<br />

interview:<br />

“I am writing this from out here<br />

at the project. I am sweaty, dirty,<br />

and tired and writing this brought<br />

tears to my eyes because hearing<br />

him say that “being baptized was<br />

the greatest achievement and best<br />

decision” he has ever made makes<br />

all the long hard days more than<br />

worth it!”
