Many people in the regions we serve live in stick and mud homes, which over time become brittle and cannot hold up to the elements. Storms come and leave families homeless. In the meantime, most people would not be able to afford the traditional concrete block.

The solution: Block Machine
A small tool, but huge for the work of the Lord.

How it Began
An STM trip participant who is a metalsmith saw the empowering benefits that a block machine could offer to the local people. His desire was to serve God and listened to His call to use his abilities to change lives.

where we serve

Langue, Honduras
Where we serve in Langue Honduras, we see houses like this everywhere.

Montana de la Flor, Honduras
The Tolupan Indians live in tiny houses of mud and stick, with no division of rooms or privacy. Over the years, the mud deteriorates, causing hazards to the family living inside.
What it Does
A block machine enables locals in Honduras to get inexpensive, sturdy blocks that will build safe homes, and it does much more...



Create Employment
Build the Kingdom of God
Honor Dignity
We train and hire locals to work on the block machine, and they earn money which they can use to support their families.
By laying a firm foundation for a family’s house, it opens up a door for our local missionaries and coworkers to lay the ground work of the gospel and sharing the Living Hope in Jesus Christ.
This blessing gives so much more than a strong home, it gives the family the pride of providing for themselves. Poverty robs people of dignity and Hope, but God answers prayer and gives us daily miracles.
2023 Mission trips
Over the summer, seven STM trip teams generously donated 8 bags of concrete each, priced at $9 per bag, yielding a total of approximately 3360 bricks for the community on the Mountain of Flower. These bricks are sufficient to construct 2.5 standard homes, with a remarkable cost of just $504.
