Our Vision & Team
FINDING THE NEED
Honduras is one of the poorest nations in the western hemisphere, so it doesn’t take much digging to find needs–needs that often demand an answer. The government has little funding for education; therefore, it is very difficult to receive an education beyond the sixth grade. If a family wants their children to have more, they are forced to pay for it themselves.
Where does this leave those that barely have enough money for food and living, let alone education? Thus, it seems the nation is feeding the seemingly never ending cycle of poverty and lack of hope. There are numerous un-reached mountain villages that still do not have electricity or running water, have children without clothing or shoes, and have families without food to feed their children.
High percentages of young marriages and teen pregnancy is the norm, and sadly this is all they seem to know. Homes are barely constructed of mud, sticks, cardboard and whatever material they can use to cover themselves. Many villages have no organized church, nor a pastor, nor a church building in which to meet, which leaves their spiritual needs unfulfilled.
MEETING THE NEED
Tree of Life Ministries uses every resource and strategy available in order to meet the need. This includes the cooperation of many avenues, including staff and student volunteers, short-term teams, international partnerships and project donors. Check out our outreach page to learn more about how we meet the need.
REVOLUTIONIZING THE NATION
…through Improved Education
♦ We are graduating, on average, 100 students each year from our high school, Plan Escalon. These young men and women are trained to go out into the workforce of their country, taking with them the Word of God, and begin to bring the nation up to a higher level, from within.
♦ Our students have raised their vision to a standard with greater hope and purpose.
♦ Many get involved in their own communities by becoming teachers in areas that have no schools, or by holding political positions such as mayors, lawyers etc.
♦ Many of our graduates obtain good jobs and continue their education by attending universities.
♦ Many have even returned to Escalon after graduating, to become part of the staff and to give back into the system that changed the destiny of their lives.
♦ Many have waited to get married and start their families until later in their lives.
♦ In a Nation of some 70% unemployment, over 70% of our graduates have full-time employment.

♦ Unreached villages are receiving electricity and potable water.
♦ Children are receiving improved education in high mountain villages.
♦ The “Mosquito Coast” is being reached with education and medical training that is giving the jungle region of Honduras a hope for a better future.

More importantly, many have been impacted with the miraculous, life-altering, power of God and are passing on the “living gospel” to the next generation.
Meet Our Pastors
Dr. Guy Henry – Executive Director, Tree of Life Ministries Spanish America
Since 1998, I have had the privilege of serving as the Executive Director of Tree of Life Ministries Spanish America, an international missions organization dedicated to transforming lives and communities in Honduras. Over the years, our work has empowered local leaders, served vulnerable populations, and created educational opportunities that have prepared over 10,000 young people for success. Most importantly, by God’s grace, we have witnessed over 40,000 people come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior—a testament to His faithfulness and power.
At the heart of our mission is a simple but transformative belief: by finding the need and meeting the need, we can change nations. Whether it’s building relationships, creating opportunities for self-sustainability, or equipping leaders to serve their communities, everything we do is rooted in faith, servant leadership, and a desire to see the Kingdom of God in action.
My wife Ingris and I are passionate about helping leaders, pastors, and organizations expand their influence by understanding the language of the culture they desire to reach. We believe that when you take the time to truly understand a community’s unique needs, you can design impactful strategies that bring lasting change—locally and globally.
Our journey to leadership wasn’t a straight or easy path. As a young man, I often felt like an outsider—bullied, rejected, and unsure of where I belonged. But those experiences gave me a heart for the marginalized and shaped who I am today. Together, my wife and I have embraced the role of "Divine Disruptors"—challenging the status quo to bring hope, transformation, and empowerment where it’s needed most.
Whether through our mission work or leadership development programs, our ultimate goal is to equip people with the tools they need to thrive—helping them discover their unique purpose, embrace their influence, and create meaningful, lasting change in their communities and beyond.
"Dr. Guy Henry, has been a "catalytic converter" for my life creating change for The House Church where I pastor. By locating the "smog" of limitations that my mind entertained, renewed strength and capacity were developed.
As a life-coach, the unearthing of hidden potential and desires with depth-charged questions our church has almost doubled in attendance. With his capacity to teach our leaders to navigate through interpersonal relationships and communication techniques, our teams have become stronger and more efficient. Dr. Guy Henry has been and continues to be an influencer that enhances The House purpose, design and destiny."
