SCHOLARSHIP INITIATIVE
OUTREACH MINISTRY
BREAKING BARRIERS, BUILDING FUTURES
OUR GOALS
- Supporting bright students who dream of serving their communities

In El Triunfo, education often ends at sixth grade. Our Scholarship Initiative creates life-changing opportunities for talented students from impoverished backgrounds.
Each scholarship student is carefully selected and nurtured by our partners:
- Pastor Erasmo, our dedicated local administrator
- A local school in El Triunfo
Selection Criteria:
- Financial need
- Academic excellence
- A demonstrated desire to learn
- Parental commitment and support
What the Scholarship Covers:
- Uniforms
- School supplies
- Transportation
Accountability:
- Quarterly check-ins ensure that each of our young scholars stay on track
OPENING DOORS THROUGH EDUCATION
Every contribution matters. Each scholarship provides young people with the tools to transform their communities:
- Vital Funding: $350 per student per year
- Mentorship: Ongoing support that goes beyond the classroom
- Vision: A commitment to long-term educational development
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." -Proverbs 22:6
LIVES TRANSFORMED THROUGH LEARNING
Our scholarships create a ripple effect with:
- 33 bright minds currently pursuing education beyond what was once possible
- Families of scholarship recipients witnessing the transformative power of education in their homes
- The broader community being uplifted as educated youth become catalysts for change
EXPANDING EDUCATION EMPOWERMENT
THE GOAL
Our current educational goal is to support additional students each year over 5 years.
By investing in education, the story doesn't end at graduation. It's the beginning of community
transformation and national progress. We want to:
- Increase scholarship reach - Open doors for more deserving students
Aspirational Goals
- Extend support to higher education - Opening doors to university and beyond
- Develop robust mentorship programs - Providing guidance beyond the classroom
- Create local internship opportunities - Bridging education to real-world experience
- Support vocational training - To diversify available skills and opportunities
Together, we can address the barriers to higher education for children in El Triunfo.

PRAYER PARTNERSHIP
Prayer is the center of our Hearts for Honduras initiatives because we believe God hears our prayers and there is power in prayer.
One of the things our team discovered on their November trip to Honduras, was how much the scholarship students, their families, and those involved in the agricultural program pray for us. With this in mind, the Outreach Ministry has organized a Prayer Partnership for our PCC Family and the students in our Hearts for Honduras Scholarship Initiative.
We would like to invite you as an individual, couple, family or Small Group to partner with a scholarship student in our Hearts for Honduras Scholarship initiative by praying for them during their school year which runs from February through November.
If you are interested in becoming a prayer partner, please stop by the Outreach Ministry table in PCC's foyer following our worship service on Sunday! An Outreach Team member will be happy to assist you with getting started.
