History
Richard and La Rue Hilton are people who love children. In
1992, their hearts were drawn to Central America because
they had heard the children there were in great despair.
Needless to say, after traveling there their hearts were
touched by the poverty they witnessed. In response to their
trip, Family Life Missions was born with the goal of helping
and healing the children of rural Central America
emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
A central location was searched for, and a place to rent for
the first “Por Los Niños” Children’s Home was found in June
of 1994 in Catacamas, Honduras CA.
“Por Los Niños” literally means “for the children.” People
were so generous that a second house was soon purchased.
As the organization felt growing pains, it became evident
that a village was needed to care for the children. A search
to buy land was launched, and a ten-year development plan
was laid out. The plan was designed for a central village
with six houses, caring for sixty children. The site would
include a storage facility, a school building, and vegetable
gardens to produce food.
In 1997, the plans took shape, and work commenced on the
“Por Los Niños" village. The infrastructure, consisting of a
well, septic systems, and power was developed. Then the
first house was built. Then the children moved from the
rental property site into the new house at the village site.
In 1998, tragedy struck Central America. Hurricane Mitch, a
category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of 180 mph, bore
down on this area. More than 10,000 people in Central
America died in the storm, and there were 3,000 refugee
centers in Catacamas, Honduras alone. As triumph many
times rises out of great adversity, FLM rose to the children's
aid by adding another cottage to the village site, a full year
ahead of schedule. Adding another home at this time was
very helpful with the many homeless children Mitch left in
its aftermath.
Now FLM has a small full-time staff to take this great work
to the next level of development. We want to complete our
goal of having six cottages, along with a multi-purpose
center. Our goal is to house sixty children, educating and
preparing them for a bright and hopeful tomorrow. We want
to be evangelistic and spread the good news of Jesus Christ
in Catacamas. We also want to show the poor of Honduras
we are Christians in deed as well as in word. We have a
dream for Honduras. Will you help us fulfill this dream?
Then sixty children will not have to dream of a loving home
with food and an education. Our dream is their dream, too!

"If you want to be complete,
go, sell your possessions
and give to the poor, and
you will have treasure in
heaven. Then come, follow
me.". Matthew 19:21
Part of following Christ is
placing nothing before Him.
In this passage, the rich
young man was sad
because he did not own his
possessions, but rather, his
possessions owned him.
