The high school students at Centro Cristiano de Educación Llamado Eterno are now using Chromebooks! Thanks to your help, they have access to computers—learning and getting ready for a future where technology is part of everything. We are still needing more support to be able to bring more technology to the students at @ccellamadoeterno. If you want to help this effort, we have set up a separate fund for this. (link in bio) Thanks for being part of this journey!

We believe in the power of education because we've seen it change lives. It’s not just about teaching it’s about walking alongside every child through their journey. ✨ Every Saturday at Ministerio Cristiano Llamado Eterno, a tutoring program runs for our school students. Children facing tough situations receive not only education, but also love and guidance beyond the classroom. Transformation begins when someone believes in them! #empoweringeducationinternational #Honduras

One of the things that makes EEI unique is the opportunity to go and meet your child. We invite you to come and be a part of one of these trips. They are lead by Hillside and Lighthouse respectively but they are open for others to join. Please reach out if you are interested. Or drop a message and let us know which trip you will be attending! Mission trips are very much part of the heart and genesis of EEI. There is just something special in going and seeing the joy of the children and yet also the extreme need that exists, experiencing a different future, and worshipping in different languages.

Last week, we were able to facilitate a visit from Justin to Double Hope in Uganda after connecting with Empowering Education. He brought smiles with magic tricks—and a heart to help. God is opening doors! His organization is now helping us gather books in the U.S. for the new library at Double Hope. Stay tuned for how you can be part of it!

What an amazing day yesterday at @yourhillside Pastor Arturo and Ruth shared with everyone a bit about all that God is doing in and through @llamadoeternomin in Danli and ended with an invitation for people to sponsor kids in Honduras. We came in with a goal of having at least 24 more kids sponsored and we had 26 sponsored! Incredible! There are still so many kids that very much need to be sponsored so please do reach out if you are interested. Also, pray for Tuesday night as they will be visiting with @somos.siloe church.

In Uganda, EEI helps support a school that’s also an orphanage and a church. Now, thanks to the construction, they’ve got not just classrooms but also a space to gather for church. It’s more than a school—it’s a place to grow, connect, and worship. 🙌

We are praising God that this year she’s been sponsored through Empowering Education International and Double Hope for Orphans and Needy! With this incredible support, Afiya will receive the education, meals, supplies, and Christ-like love she needs to truly thrive.

Meet Karen, one of our scholarship students whose journey reflects the heart of Empowering Education. Karen was part of the very first group of 11 children sponsored through our program, starting in January 2012. Through the years, we’ve watched her grow—not just in knowledge, but in purpose. From serving faithfully in her church to pursuing her passion in agricultural engineering, Karen’s story is a testament to what happens when opportunities meet determination. 🌱 Today, Karen is close to completing her university studies! This is the power of education. This is the impact of your support. Together, we’re building legacies—one student, one family, one future at a time. 💙

In 2019, we broke ground on a dream: expanding Centro Cristiano de Educación Llamado Eterno to serve even more children in the Danlí, Honduras community. Thanks to your support, we're ready to begin the next phase of construction! This next step will add much-needed classrooms, opening new opportunities for learning, growth, and hope for years to come. Through the Jay Lyda Memorial Fund, we are praising the Lord for over $10,000 raised in the past few weeks towards our $36,000 goal. With your help, we can cross the finish line and provide the spaces these children need to dream big and achieve even more. Every gift counts. United by God’s love, we can build a brighter future together! Visit the link in bio to give today. Be sure to select the Jay Lyda Memorial Fund when you give online.

Jay Lyda’s first trip to Honduras with Hillside Church nearly two decades ago sparked a legacy of service, transformation, and faith. Over the years, his love for the people at Llamado Eterno and his steadfast support of Empowering Education International have left a lasting impact. Last November, Jay stepped into eternity with his Savior, Jesus, but his impact lives on. To honor his memory, Llamado Eterno is naming their new classroom building after him—a space that will allow them to reach even more children with education, hope, and God's love. Construction is about to begin, but $36,000 is still needed to complete this project. Will you help carry Jay’s legacy forward? Tap the link in bio to give on our website and be sure to select the “Jay Lyda Memorial Fund” giving option to be part of this mission.

Our Mission

Empowering Education International connects families struggling or unable to pay for the costs of schooling with families desiring to help.

We believe in addressing the needs of the WHOLE CHILD, the WHOLE FAMILY and the WHOLE COMMUNITY.

First, we address the financial obstacles preventing the child from attending school by offering a complete scholarship. This pays for a complete uniform, registration costs, school supplies, daily transportation to school and daily lunch money.

In many locations, we provide tutoring classes afterschool to all the children to not only go to school, but experience success.

However, knowing that true change comes only through Christ, we work with the local church to minister to these families and meet not only their physical needs, but also their spiritual and emotional ones as well.

Don't Delay. Change a Child's Life Now...
