Vision

The vision for Promise Home Orphanage was conceived by Bill Hayden in the mountains of Nicaragua while visiting an orphanage.

Feeling an overwhelming prompting, Bill quietly separated from the larger group. He began to pray, "God, whatever you want me to do. Wherever you want me to go. I am willing."

God answered that prayer with the vision to build an orphanage in Honduras. Bill has been obedient to follow God where He leads-even to a nation where formal schooling ends at fifth grade; and where many children do not survive to become teenagers, as many die from malnutrition, starvation, sickness, violence and drugs.

The vision is to save the children who have been abused and abandoned. We will exhaust all means at our disposal to save as many children as possible.

We will begin with just a handful of children at Promise Home, but the effects are exponential. As these children grow into young adults, they will have the opportunity to attend college or get a job. We are providing a foundation so that these children can break the cycle of poverty within their families, their local towns and their country.

Promise Home will provide a family for children who have never experienced one. Love, education, nutritional sustenance and life-long direction will be liberally provided. Each child will know exactly what it means to feel the love of Christ in a family-orphanage setting. Each child will receive a quality education, and the ability to attend college. Children will receive vocational training so they may plug back into their local community.

Initially relying on donations, Promise Home will become self-sustaining through agricultural and fish programs, and a hydro-electrice plant supplying a portion its power. These programs will enable the young adults to eventually be employed by Promise Home or to start their own businesses.
