Gospel Quotes From an Inspiring Young Preacher in Honduras

Nicol lives in a community affected by gang fights, drug dealing and devastating poverty. But despite the darkness that surrounds her, Nicol is dedicated to being the light. At just 12 years old, she makes home visits throughout her community to share the gospel and even hosts a prayer group.

“Sometimes it’s been hard to knock on doors and talk about Jesus because of people’s reactions. Despite the rejections or the acceptance, I carry on.” — Nicol 

Behind Nicol’s determination is the ongoing support of the Compassion center she attends. “At first, I had stage fright and panicked when talking in public. The center director and my tutor are church leaders themselves, and they’ve taught me and supported me every step of the way.”

Nicol is proof of the ripple effects we can have when we share the gospel. Because of the support of her sponsor and those who love her within her community, Nicol is empowered to grow and thrive. And she’s helping others do the same.

“Our pastor has taught us that life is about stages and seasons. I want my spiritual life to evolve and escalate. That’s why I decided to commit to serving the Lord and refused to stay stagnant.” — Nicol

How You Can Share the Gospel Now

You may not be a famous author or evangelist. You may not travel the world as a missionary. It doesn’t matter! God calls all of us to share the gospel. And he’s faithful to give us opportunities to share it, whether we’re in the U.S. or an impoverished community in Honduras, like Nicol.

One way you can share the gospel from right where you are is by sponsoring a child. Through sponsorship, you share the good news in word and action. Not only will you introduce a child to Jesus, but you’ll fulfill their critical needs, such as food and medical care, giving them lasting hope.
