Future of Hope Family Ministry has been serving in Los Pinos and nearby communities since 2014, but God was preparing the way for the ministry many years before. 

Molly Hornsby first came to Honduras as a short term missionary in 2011 to volunteer with another ministry organization. After another short term visit in 2012, God called her to move to Honduras full time after graduation from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in early 2013. For the next year and a half, she volunteered with the same organization, learned about life on the mission field, and made crucial connections with youth and family from the Los Pinos neighborhood. She witnessed the great need in this community, and God stirred her heart for to prepare her for the ministry to come. 

By the end of 2014, God called her out on her own to establish a new organization which is now known as Future of Hope Family Ministry, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This new ministry aimed to reach out not only to at-risk youth, but to their families as well, building stronger family units that will act as crucial support systems for the next generation. To help families break the cycle of poverty, the ministry focuses primarily on education - school sponsorship for families who can’t afford school costs and free tutoring classes for all the kids who get left behind by the overloaded and inefficient school classrooms. The ministry also provides mental health services with a licensed Christian psychologist for kids in need who otherwise wouldn’t have access to these services. Future of Hope also supports the community through emergency aid programs to be the very tangible hands and feet of Christ and help families through some of their toughest times. In everything we do and every interaction we have with those we serve, we have the opportunity to share the Gospel and God’s truth with the community in a very personal way.

In the beginning, the ministry began to help one family, then seven, then 25 the following year. Over the last few years, the ministry has grown tremendously, supporting around 200 students education each year and countless more through the other programs. We now not only serve families in Los Pinos, but also in neighboring communities El Tablon, El Jicaro and Zuntule. The ministry team also grew, welcoming on board two teachers - incredibly talented and dedicated locals from Los Pinos who decided to use their talents to serve their own community.

The Lord has been faithful in establishing and sustaining Future of Hope Family Ministry since day one, and we look forward to see all God has planned for the future as well!
