In February 2025, COCHUSA Saints on Standby came together in a spirit of love and service to support the people of California who lost their homes and loved ones. In times of hardship, we stood united, offering help, hope, and prayers to those in need. Our faith in action reminds us that we are called to serve and uplift one another.

During this mission, our team provided essential supplies to those affected, ensuring that basic needs were met. We offered encouragement and prayer, bringing comfort and strength to those facing unimaginable challenges. The love and compassion shared by our team were a testament to the power of community and faith.
The impact of our efforts was deeply felt. People received not only the physical supplies they needed but also the emotional and spiritual support that helped them find hope amidst the devastation. Our presence was a reminder that they were not alone, and that God’s love was with them every step of the way.

This mission was a powerful example of how we can make a difference when we come together in service and solidarity. We thank God for the opportunity to be His hands and feet, bringing light and hope to those in need. Together, we have shown that even in the darkest times, love and faith can shine brightly.

In January 2025, the Southeastern Diocese embarked on a transformative mission trip to Honduras, leaving an indelible mark on countless lives. This journey was a testament to the power of faith, community, and service, as our brothers and sisters became instruments of God’s love and grace.

During this mission, our team participated in a variety of impactful activities, including the launching of a Women’s Ministry, hosting both a Pastoral Marriage Conference and a Ministry Marriage Conference, visiting a nursing home and Catarino Rivas Hospital, and organizing a Leaders and Ministry Conference. Worship Ministry played a central role throughout the trip, bringing people together in praise and reflection.

The collective impact of these efforts was profound. We witnessed hearts being touched, lives being transformed, souls saved, and communities being strengthened. The joy, unity, and spiritual renewal that emerged from this mission trip were truly inspiring.

The team sung “There’s a Happy Day at Hand” by C.P. Jones as they traveled. The chorus, “Tho’ the conquest lies ahead, We shall conquer never dread, All the land our feet shall tread, Praise the Lord! ” resonates deeply with our mission. It encapsulates the spirit of perseverance and faith that guided our team and a message of hope to those we encounter. This chorus is a reminder to us all that despite the challenges ahead, we moved forward with unwavering trust in God’s plan, knowing that every step we take God has already won the victory!

We thank God for the opportunity to serve and for the incredible impact made possible by the dedication and compassion of our mission team led by Missionary Lillian Brown. Together, we have sown seeds of hope and change that will continue to grow and flourish in the hearts of the people we touched.
