Ruth Coleman

As a child, my dream was to be a missionary. As I grew, God made it clear that it wasn’t just a dream, but a desire and calling He had placed on my life. God used my college internship in 2012 to point me towards Honduras, and in 2017, I returned to Honduras full-time.

Serving in San Pedro Sula did not fit my plans and expectations of “Ruth on the mission field,” but it has far exceeded anything I could ever have imagined. God knew exactly where I needed to be, and in following His direction, I’ve experienced an incredible joy that I wouldn’t trade for anything. I primarily serve in a poorer, downtown neighborhood, where I run the children’s program, play the piano, plan activities for the church youth, direct VBS and Christmas programs, teach literacy, and disciple both women and children. Additionally, I teach piano lessons for a couple youth from the church that has helped to plant our Fuente church downtown.
