We have served with LAM Canada in Honduras since 2006. We are blessed with two children, Grace (born November 2011) and Zach (born March 2013). We serve at Comunidad Educativa Evangélica (CEE), a Christian bilingual school located in Siguatepeque. Esther provides leadership to the English program for Kindergarten-Gr. 11, including mentoring teachers and developing the English program. Esther is currently completing a Master of Education with a focus in bilingual education in order to help her be more effective in her role at CEE. Dave oversees various hands-on projects at the school, and teaches carpentry classes to the Gr. 7-9 students. We are also part of the leadership team for a church plant, Celebración, in downtown Siguatepeque. Through their church, Dave is involved in various community projects, including the installation of water purification systems and smoke-free stoves in marginalized communities.
