FACHADA FRONTAL

Raquel (not her real name) was born to poor, uneducated parents in a home with no electricity or running
water. Her mother is severely mentally disabled and her father is neglectful and abusive. When Raquel was 12
she graduated from the 6th grade and was forced to discontinue her studies. In her family that is considered
a more than adequate education for a girl. At 18, she was raped by her father. In the midst of her devastation,
Raquel determined that he would never touch her again. In the pitch black of night she ran away from home, only
returning occasionally with a protective guard of friends to check up on her mother.
Today, Raquel is working towards high school graduation. She is a baptized Christian and active member of the
local church. She has graduated from Mission UpReach’s bible school, CRESCO, and works full-time to pay her
living expenses. Raquel’s story is one of many examples of people Mission UpReach has been able to help with the
support of your yearly donations.
This year Mission UpReach (MUR) is conducting a year-end giving campaign. You have received this
brochure because we know that you are a servant of our Lord Jesus and generous in your giving to
good causes. The money given in our year-end campaign will account for more than 50% of our program
costs. Without your contributions supporting MUR’s programs, the children and adults hearing the Good
News and learning to fight the oppressive yoke of spiritual poverty will “go away naked and destitute” as
James would say.
The Kingdom that Jesus established is founded on a solid foundation (Isaiah 28:16, Matthew 16:18). As His
subjects He expects us to build our lives on Him, the solid foundation. The sum total of our lives should be
invested in things that are eternal and lasting. This theology—our World View—requires that we live by
certain principles. At MUR, those foundational principles have been integrated into our methodology so that
every program and effort we invest time, money, and energy into is guided by God’s plans for the Kingdom.
This year the good news is that your financial help is putting us on a trajectory for a solid, sustainable
financial-foundation that will allow us to increase our effectiveness over the long term. By the end of
2021, 100% of your donations will go directly towards the programs benefiting children and adults,
rather than operation and maintenance costs. While this projection is viable and only three years away,
we still have to finish investing in the infrastructure at our Moses Project for this goal to become a reality.
This is an area where you can help. By making a one-time gift, making a three-year commitment to give a
certain sum, or making a monthly commitment to giving for the next three years, you can have a hand in
blessing the lives of people like Raquel.
To make this year’s giving campaign even more exciting, a small group of MUR’s supporters have offered
a $1 for $1 challenge fund. For every $1 you give, they will match it up to $500,000. That is the kind of
stewardship Matthew 25 talks about in the parable of the talents. Please help us maximize the giving in
this year’s campaign by making a generous pledge or donation.
We ask that you prayerfully consider our request to give and that you give big in order to create a rock solid
foundation that will multiply our efforts on behalf of Jesus’ Kingdom.
Sincerely,
Phil Waldron

Moses Project
David Diaz is 21 years
old and is a part of the
Moses Project. When
David was 7 years old his
mother died and a few
years later his father was
killed. David grew up
in an Aldeas Infantiles
SOS home (a Honduran
non-profit organization
working to maintain a
family environment for
kids who are apart from
their families) of which
he speaks fondly. When
David was 18 he had to leave the program and began to
search for what was next. He ended up interviewing for the
Moses project and was accepted.
About the project David says, “I have learned so much.
I did not know what it meant to work the
ground or use a machete. I didn’t know how
to work with bees, which is what I have done
since I have been here in the Project. I’ve
also learned the process of coffee and I’ve
learned about God … I had heard God’s word
but I didn’t pay it any mind. But here in the
Moses Project during a CREO seminar, a man
from Nicaragua studied God’s word with me
and I felt the need to be baptized. I am so
glad I was baptized, and it has been a year
and a half since I accepted Christ”. David
reflects on the pain he felt, and still feels,
from the loss of his parents but states, “Now
I trust in God and that he is guiding my life”.
After seeing David’s potential and spiritual leadership
he was asked to be a part of the DESEO kid’s camp. When
asked what his favorite experience has been in the different
MUR programs he says, “the best experience I have had was
when I went to kid’s camp as an assistant for 2 weeks. It
was my favorite experience because I never thought I would
work with kids, and I was actually scared to do it. During
those two weeks I had to do all kinds of things and it was
amazing. It was a great experience for the kids but also for
me, because I had never done anything like that. The camp
YOUR GIFTX TWO
helped me feel more comfortable around kids and it gave me
more confidence. I am currently working with a school in
Carrizal doing math and Spanish tutoring.”
With the opportunities he has had, such as his time at
kid’s camp and the spiritual development he has received,
along with the practical agricultural skills he has gained
from the Moses Project, David is ready not only to be more
successful in his professional life, but he is now someone
who loves God, and enjoys giving back. David will certainly
be a better husband and father one day because of it. David
plans to continue his studies at the University level. Talking
about his future, David says, “I want to study and have a
plan that will help my future. I want to graduate from the
university, have a family, and always follow God”.
As the Moses Project grows and expands, so too do the
opportunities available for the young men studying on the
farm. The things they learn aren’t limited to agricultural
skills; their time at the Moses project is also marked by
countless opportunities for spiritual development.
A FIRM
MUR is not the church but rather a servant of the church
(God’s Kingdom on earth). As a faith-based non-profit we
seek to serve the needs of the church through workshops
and Biblical leadership training series ultimately focused
on catalyzing a church planting movement in this
generation. In addition to meeting spiritual needs we also
seek to offer the physical, mental, and emotional support
necessary for holistic living, which is often neglected due
to lack of resources, attention, or time.

Tilapia
Operation
The tilapia program is a critical piece in the plan
to help Mission UpReach become sustainable.
Raising and selling tilapia has been a learning
experience for the Moses Project and the design
and function of the tilapia production is almost
unrecognizable from a few years ago. We now
operate each portion of the operation in-house,
in order for it to be more cost effective. In our
hatchery, the brood fish produce fingerlings for
our raceways. After the eggs are harvested and
hatched the fingerlings remain in the hatchery
until they are big enough to move and then
eventually arrive at an individual raceway.
The In-Pond Raceway System we have
implemented
was invented by
the University
of Auburn. Each
raceway is an
enclosed system that helps the tilapia grow at a
quicker rate (due to the constant oxygenation of
the water and other factors). The operation has
a goal of producing 500,000 pounds of tilapia for
sale in 2020, which is made possible by the In-
Pond Raceway System.
Alejandra Martínez was recruited to
work with the tilapia program in 2018. She is a
graduate of Zamorano University with a degree

in agricultural engineering with a specialty
in aquaculture. Alejandra decided to accept
the position at the Moses Project because of
what the program stands for. She states, “my
favorite part of the Moses Project, and it’s
the reason I
accepted the
job offer, is
its mission
and vision of
helping people
to grow and be
successful”.
Alejandra points
out the reality
we see every
day of people
fighting to
survive and to
provide for their
families. Alejandra says, “Lack of jobs is one of
the biggest issues in Honduras, and the Moses
Project is actively helping the area of Carrizal,
creating jobs and helping better the economic
life of families. However, the Moses Project
is creating jobs not only for the area of Santa
Rosa, but also for the surrounding departments
… As the Moses Project continues to grow it
will create more job opportunities from which
more families will benefit, and that to me is so
positive”.
In talking about the tilapia program’s
impact on Mission UpReach, Alejandra states,
“ [the tilapia program] has economic, social
and environmental advantages. The new
technology reduces the amount of water
used, reduces the contamination, and it’s not
harsh on the animals. Another advantage of
the program
is its quick
turnaround”.
Alejandra
recently left the
Moses Project
to continue
her studies
in the United
States, but she
comments on
the positive
impact her time
at the Moses
Project had on
her professional life. Alejandra represents a
local perspective that sees what an incredible
asset the Moses Project is. Through the
programs such as the tilapia production
we hope to see countless families blessed
with steady incomes. The more we are able
to invest in these programs and establish a
strong foundation in the Moses Project, the
more successful Mission UpReach will be at
transforming lives: physically, mentally and
spiritually.

Over the last 4-years we have been investing in
agriculture at our Moses Project. Our eyes are
pointed towards the future where income from the
sale of food-products produced at the Moses Project
will pay for the costs of the program.
As we have learned and gained experience, we
have realized that with a little more investment in
infrastructure our dreams of a sustainable future
will provide for more than just program costs; food
product sales will entirely pay rent, gasoline, car
maintenance, salaries, etc. In the near future, 100%
of your donations will go directly to helping children
and adults become the people that God wants them
to be rather than living and dying as poor, lost souls
that have no hope of Eternal life with the Father.

Poultry
Operation
For 22 years
Michael Bridges
(Chief of Poultry
Operations)
worked as a
process engineer
for Michelin Tire
Corp. and spent
substantial time
training engineers both in Poland and India. Michael arrived
in Honduras (along with his wife, Kris, and daughter,
Kaylee) in 2016 in a decision that he fully credits to God.
Matt Bridges, one of Michael’s sons, came to Honduras in
2014 as part of the AIM program. Through a visit by Kris
and Kaylee, they began feeling that God was calling them to
Honduras to work with Mission UpReach.
“There were several very real ‘blocking points’ why we
were not on the mission field
anywhere, but this question led
us to put this idea before God. If
He wanted us to come, we were
sure that our ‘insurmountable’
challenges would be removed.
That is exactly what happened.
We put before Him five things
that we did not know how to
overcome that we believed
needed to be resolved before
we could. In a matter of a few
months, they were no longer
issues – resolved”.
In his time with Mission
UpReach, Michael has enjoyed
the process of reaching people.
He says, “It is great to be able
to struggle alongside Jesus to bring change in the lives of
young and old alike and watch Him take my weakness and
my inabilities (like struggling with Spanish) and see Him
work powerfully. What a privilege!” Michael and his family
accomplished their goal of starting a church in Corquín,
and he continues that work of helping the church grow and
flourish, but now also works at the Moses Project with the
chicken operation. We asked Michael to talk a little bit about
what his perspective on the impact of the Moses Project.
Here is what he had to say: “The Moses Project is
a long-term way of trying to effect change in poor
communities and in all areas that it contacts. The Moses
Project allows boys, who would otherwise be forced to
drop out of school, the opportunity to continue their high
school education. Additionally, they are given spiritual
training as they are taught useful work and life skills.
These same young men are growing into people who

will be pillars in their communities. Many of them have
become Christians and will go back to their communities
to start some business, provide employment, leadership
and best of all, Christ to those towns”.
Mike goes on to say, “the Chicken Project is well
positioned to provide a very substantial source of regular
income to Mission UpReach. This should ensure that the
Moses Project is funded, can expand (if appropriate),
provide micro-loans to the boys as they work to launch
their businesses in their next life phase and it appears
that there should be the opportunity to have funds to help
grow other activities that are not income producing - Dulce
Refugio, ESPERO, church planting, DESEO, and the list goes
on. The business aspect of a chicken business will provide
a predictable level of income that gives the mission a
predictable and sustainable budget to enact other “dream”
projects with assurance that they will be sustained. As God
blesses the Chicken Project and other income producing
activities, He will be growing the other works that drive
church planting and changing communities both physically
The MUR headquarters is located in Santa Rosa de Copán,
Honduras. The decision to be based here was strategic.
Santa Rosa serves as the regional center of commerce and
transportation for the poorest region in Honduras, which
is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere
behind Haiti (barring the current financial crisis in
Venezuela).
The poverty in Honduras is systemic. It is a pernicious
epidemic borne by those living in poverty (over 65% of
the nation’s population). When you are immersed into
life here, sharing with and learning from the Honduran
people, you see the harsh reality of how poverty and
corruption oppresses the masses into a generational cycle of
subsistence existence.
and spiritually.”
Mission UpReach is blessed to have Michael overseeing
the chicken operation. His vision of the future sustainability
and impact of the Moses Project mirrors our goals.

Coffee
Production
In 2018 Mission UpReach launched Subida
Coffee and began selling coffee online in
the United States. Cultivating and preparing
coffee is a complicated process that requires
attention to detail at every step. The year
leading up to the launch of Subida Coffee
and in 2018 we focused on ensuring we were
producing a quality product. However, there
is always room to improve. At the beginning
of this year Juan José Urquia came to work
with Mission UpReach as the chief of coffee
production. Juan brings with him 18 years of
experience in coffee which has helped raise
the level of coffee production in both quantity
and quality. Juan Jose dreams of being able
to start a Mission UpReach, coffee co-op to
be able to control every step of the process (from picking to
exporting).
When asked what he thinks is special about the Moses
Project he replied that it’s the way it “helps young men with
limited financial resources. [The Moses project] provides
them with their basic needs and helps them in their
professional and Christian formation; developing them
into leaders who will help transform their communities and
spread the gospel”.
Juan Jose also sees the
positive impact the Moses Project
is having on the local economy.
He credits this to all the jobs that
have been created and to the
amount of goods purchased by the
Moses Project, which benefits local
businesses.
In thinking about the future
of the Moses Project Juan Jose says,
“coffee has been one of the biggest
products of Honduras … with
proper preparation and marketing
we will be able to sell a lot of coffee
and provide funds that will support
the sustainability of the farm and
also provide resources for Mission
UpReach”
Juan Jose is an example of
what we strive to do at Mission
UpReach: find the best people for
the job. Being good stewards of

what God has given us means finding excellent people
whose vision and experience allow those programs to
thrive. Juan’s incredible knowledge of coffee and his
passion for perfecting the art of cultivating it makes him
a valuable asset for Mission UpReach. We are dreaming
right along with Juan, of one day having our own co-op
that helps smaller farmers in their coffee production. We
would even love to have a coffee shop here in Santa Rosa
that would not only provide income and employment, but
would also be a tool for evangelism. We hope that reaching
a place of sustainability will allow us to explore our new
dreams of how to support and nourish the community and
spread the gospel.

In Luke 4:14-30 Jesus announces, to his neighbors in
Nazareth, some of the things that would be visible in His
ministry:
“18 ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the
captives and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’
As disciples of Jesus, those same ideas and objectives
should be evident in our ministries.

Cindy de los Santos has had a passion for
helping others since she was a little girl. Her
mother began taking her, along with her brother
and sister, to church when she was 5 years
old. Through the church Cindy had access to
scholarships that allowed her to stay in school
until she graduated from High School in spite
of the family’s poverty. With a passion to
share Christ with others, Cindy continued her
studies first through a 2-year Bible School in
Guatemala, followed by a Saturday program at a
Bible Institute in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Cindy
also studied in a technical school and became
a nursing technician. During that time frame,
she met her now husband, Juan Carlos de los
Santos. After a four-year dating relationship,
they married and moved to Santa Rosa de Copán
where Juan Carlos began working on the church
planting team of Mission UpReach.
Cindy continued to feed her hunger for
learning by finishing an undergraduate degree in
education. At the same time that Cindy graduated
with her teaching degree, Mission UpReach
developed a plan to begin to meet the needs for
the underserved deaf population in the region.
Cindy’s passion to teach, serve, and minister was
the perfect combination of gifts and talents to fill
the first teacher’s position in the newly formed
ESPERO school for deaf adults.
Cindy is no stranger to suffering. She and
her husband lost their firstborn daughter at just
one week old. Because God is at the center of
their lives, their grief and sorrow served to make
them more effective and compassionate. Cindy’s
ability to empathize and show compassion is put
to work daily as she serves not only as a teacher
but also a counselor to the 16 deaf students
enrolled in the school. God has created in the
ESPERO setting a family environment that draws
the once neglected and ignored to a place of
safety and acceptance. Individuals who once had
no place to belong, have a place to blossom and
grow not only intellectually, but spiritually and
emotionally.
There are an estimated 34,000 adults
and children in our region who are deaf. The
government currently does not offer any
educational services to this population. We are
serving 16 of those 34,000 (.0004%), a mere drop
in the bucket. Our dream is to open a school
for deaf children, making it possible to meet
the educational and training needs of the deaf
population earlier in life. We dream of continuing
and expanding our outreach to the adult deaf
population. This dream is impossible without
funding. Our goal of sustainability can move us
towards that impossible dream.
There are more Cindy’s who have a passion
to teach, serve and minister. The country of
Honduras is full of men and women who have a
desire to work and serve in their own country for
the good of their fellow citizens. Providing those
men and women with the opportunity to serve
in such a noble way can happen as we bring the
dream to reach the deaf community to fruition.

Darlin Josué López Torres is 10 years old. He
lives in a very remote village by the name of Agua
Sucia (Dirty Water). Darlin lives with his father,
mother and little brother. His father works in
the field, harvesting corn and beans for land
owners as well as cuts grass and weeds with his
machete. He likely earns just under $7 per day.
Darlin attends school in a village by the name of
Crucitas, where DESEO visits each week. Darlin
walks to school each day, a journey that takes one
and a half hours, even for a young energetic boy.
That would be a total of 3 hours of walking, but
Darlin walks that route twice a day on the days
DESEO offers afternoon tutoring. After school,
around noon, he walks home to eat and then
walks right back to school for the 2 pm tutoring.
Darlin’s DESEO teacher and tutor, Hector,
says that Darlin is energetic, enthusiastic,
positive and has dreams for his future. Darlin
says he wants to be a builder when he’s grown
and that his inspiration for walking so many
hours is so that he can learn more and be with
his friends. When asked what his favorite subject
in school is, Darlin said, “DESEO!” DESEO is not
technically a subject in school, but many children
consider it their favorite hour of
the week. Darlin says that his
favorite pass times include doing
homework, playing with his little
brother, and playing hide-n-goseek.
Darlin inspires us with his
dedication to improving his life
at such a young age. When asked
what he would like to change about
his life, instead of responding
materialistically or wishing for a
different life circumstance, Darlin
says he wants to be more patient
and less angry.
Darlin’s story is just one of
countless stories that have resulted from the
DESEO team’s involvement in the schools.
The impact the DESEO team has had on a
new generation is
immeasurable. As they
interact with hundreds
of kids each week, they
are inspiring young
boys and girls to live a
different life; one that
is pleasing in the sight
of God. The impact and
reach of the DESEO
program is one of the
reasons we are striving
for sustainability. As the
Moses Project grows,
the opportunities and
resources our DESEO
team has to touch the
lives of others just like
Darlin will also increase.
MUR is an organization comprised of Christians committed
to bringing Good News to the poor, while freeing individuals
from the oppression that sin and poverty forces on them.
The principles we have determined are essential to building
a solid foundation are as follows: 1) Love people as He has
loved us, 2) seek first the Kingdom of Heaven, 3) teach and
equip the poor, 4) steward the resources that He places in our
hands as His assigned managers, and 5) build a sustainable
financial model that allows us to make long term, strategic
commitments to in-country stakeholders and those that
benefit from our ministries.
