Change a Child's Life Forever... Now.

Did you know..?

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!

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!
Double Hope Uganda now has access to running water. In a place where this is a rare privilege, your support made it possible. Thank you for helping bring this vital change.
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.
Sponsoring a child provides access to education, food, and a brighter future. ❤️‍🩹✨
It’s incredible to share the testimony of what’s happening in Idudi Uganda!

Thanks to every Empowering Education sponsor, Double Hope is providing a home, education, and faith to the children of Idudi. Together, we are transforming lives!

With gratitude to our sponsors happy Valentine’s Day.

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. 🙌
📚 A child with access to education has greater opportunities to break the cycle of poverty.
❤️ Their growth and values influence their home and community.
🌱 What they learn today will shape the future they create tomorrow.

#SponsoraChild
As we get ready for classes to start on February 3, our teachers and staff at Centro Cristiano de Educación Llamado Eterno in Honduras have been training to give every child a better education. We are ready to make a difference! ✨
Education transforms lives 🌟📚🌍

Thanks to your support, we are bringing hope and opportunities to places where it once seemed impossible. At Double Hope, an orphanage filled with courage and aspiration, every child is stepping into a brighter future through education.

Your help is making a real difference. ❤️ Keep being part of the change.
When Afiya was just a baby, she lost her father and has been living in the orphanage ever since. Now 7 years old, Afiya is beginning a new chapter filled with hope. 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. Join us in celebrating this blessing and praying for Afiya's bright future ahead!
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. 💙
This 2025, we invite you to pray for every need of the children in Honduras and Uganda. Your prayers can bring hope, strength, and transformation to their lives. 

Together, let’s make a difference through faith and love. ✨🙏
Imagine a world where every child has the tools to succeed. That’s what we’re about at Empowering Education International! From backpacks to big dreams, your support creates endless possibilities for kids who just need a chance.
Hello, my name is Luis Fernando. I study at Centro Cristiano de Educación Llamado Eterno in Honduras, and this year I will be starting eighth grade in high school. Thanks to the support of each sponsor, we were able to receive our school supplies and uniforms, which greatly facilitated our studies. We are deeply grateful to every sponsor because, with their help and God's guidance, we can dream of a brighter future.
As we enter 2025, we’re filled with anticipation for all God will do this year and so thankful for all He has done this past year! Join us in praying for wisdom, strength, and new opportunities to serve.
God has done amazing things through Empowering Education International this year! With construction projects progressing in both Uganda and Honduras, we’re reaching more children than ever with accessible education and the love of Christ.

Will you continue to pray for our team and each of these children as we head into 2025? 

As we approach the new year, we invite you to consider a year-end donation to help keep this work thriving. Together, we can reach even more children with the Jesus' love in 2025! Tap the link in bio to give.

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!

Here’s a recap of our recent mission trip to Honduras!

Last week, we had an amazing team that served through evangelism, distributing food to families in need, and connecting with Llamado Eterno Church in Danlí. They also experienced the joy of spending time with their sponsored children.

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.
It’s incredible to see how the school in Honduras has grown! Yesterday, we celebrated the graduation of 49 kindergarteners and 17 sixth graders. 🎓✨

God has excited things in store for the future of the Llamado Eterno and Double Hope schools. We are excited to share more details soon including more details of the next steps of the Llamado Eterno building that will be in honor of Jay Lyda. We'll have a lot more to say about Jay's legacy in Honduras and the building project but for now, we invite you be a part of the big plans God has for the future of EEI.

Your generosity helps us break the cycle of poverty and share the love of Christ with children, families, and communities around the world. Together, we can create lasting change.

Empowering girls through education can transform communities! Educated women are less vulnerable to exploitation and have better economic opportunities. Let's invest in girls like never before—because every child deserves a chance to shine! 🌟
At Empowering Education International, we are thankful for the privilege of empowering children in need through education and the hope of Christ. Together we’re creating brighter futures for children, their families, and entire communities.

Just two weeks ago, they completed their school year, and this December, Hillside mission team will join them for their closing ceremony—honoring their hard work and the amazing plans God has for their future. ❤️
We believe that spiritual and academic education can change lives by opening doors to opportunities and shaping a brighter future for children in need. ✨

Pastor Arturo, Ramon Flores and Michael Rice had the privilege of visiting Tennessee the last few weeks. They attended the Forward Conference to share with missions projects all over the world and also share all about the EEI and what we are doing. 

More to come soon about some exciting projects they have been putting together!
Step by step, we’re witnessing incredible progress at Double Hope Uganda. Each brick, wall, and room brings us closer to a space where children can learn, grow, and dream big. Thank you for being part of this journey and helping us build a foundation of hope and opportunity.

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.
