Our Missions
 
Reaching out to people of all colors, countries, and contours with the love of Christ is what missions is all about. We at SLCC seek to show Christ’s love to those in Denver, Colorado, the USA and to foreign lands. We do this by raising funds above and beyond the money it takes to keep ministry going within our four walls. We call that Faith Promise Funds. From time to time we also send work teams to places that need special help.

Below is list of the mission projects we currently support:

Heart to Honduras – A ministry led by former SLCC Pastor Gordon Garrett that partners with more than 75 churches throughout the villages of Honduras and now they are also in Nicaragua, and Guatemala. They provide basic services, vocational training, church construction, financial assistance to local pastors, and spiritual training for pastors and students at the School of Discipleship.

Harvest House for Women, Estes Park, Colorado – A ministry which ministers to homeless women and their children. They help them to be come drug free, teach them to become responsible people and parents, share the Word of God and love them back to wholeness in Christ.

Horizon International – This ministry reaches out to the children of South Africa who have been orphaned by AIDS. This ministry has hospitals, hospices and orphanages. 

Missionaries to South and Central America

Godside Ministries – This is a Denver area ministry to street kids run by Reverend Bobby Washington.

Triple L Youth Ministry – These are residential facilities in Indiana for troubled youth.

Project Home Again – Assists homeless working families in the Denver area to get established in a home by providing a rental deposit, first month’s rent and household furnishings. Our church does this with the assistance of the Denver Rescue Mission.

Our Sister Church: Lirios de Armenta in Honduras

 
This congregation is in a suburb of San Pedro Sula. The church is well back off the main road and is in a very poor part of the city. The immediate community has about 300 families. Many people live along the river; it is there they wash, bathe and drink while raw sewage runs into the river. The water system that is piped into the area where the church is flows from a tank that is contaminated. The children of Armenta are often sick. Skin diseases are common. 

  


Heart to Honduras helped them build their church building. The lot was given to them by the developer of the area. When the developer saw that North Americans were helping the church he then demanded payment for the lot. The government has since declared that the property belongs to the church free and clear. The church is small but nicely painted inside. They need to purchase the lots on either side of the Church building next door for classrooms, restrooms and an apartment for the Pastor. The lot behind their property is for sale and will cost $3000 dollars. The Lot in front of the property will cost $8,000. They need to build a hanging bridge behind the property to cross over the gully so the people can get to church during the rainy season. 

  


Pastor Neptali Lopez and his wife Lucia lead the congregation of about 70 adults; 50 are believers. They also have 60 children and 16 youth to whom they minister. Their children Joseh, Addoni, Rachel and Geisi help. The older two lead the children and the youth. Pastor Neptali was born again around twenty years ago. From that moment he knew that God had a call for his life in Christian ministry. He told us that God spoke to him and said, “Why not minister in San Pedro Sula?” He didn’t want to but God changed his heart and gave him a passion for the city. The ministry is very hard for Pastor and his family. When he first started ministry in Lirios de Armenta he had to catch a bus and ride for more than thirty minutes to get to the church. He now has a van that was provided by a Catholic woman who was touched by his ministry. Little by little God has provided for him and his family. Pastor Neptali currently works as an auto body repair man. Although he doesn’t have regular income and often Lucia does not know where the next meal will come from. The church pays almost nothing because they are so poor. 

  


Our partnership with this church will begin to help by offering pastoral support of $150 per month; which will allow Pastor Neptali to work full time with his people and the community without the need to work a second job. As our partnership grows we may find ways to help them buy the lots they need and then build the new buildings that Pastor Neptali envisions.
