The primary program of Sowers4Pastors is outreach ministry furthering the Gospel message while providing benevolent support and assistance to those in need primarily in western Honduras. Resources are provided to Honduran pastors, Honduran missionaries, Honduran evangelists, Honduran families, and Honduran children. Assistance includes Bible training, feeding centers, and collecting and distributing backpacks, school supplies, school shoes and other needs to assist children getting an education. In 2020, 5,000 backpacks full of school supplies and 3,000 pairs of shoes were collected and distributed. As many children in western Honduras do not attend school specifically because their families are unable to purchase the required school supplies, this project empowers the children to get an education. Additionally, the organization facilitates 150 feeding programs, feeding 14,000 children twice per week. In 2020, Sowers4Pastors also provided food to pastors to distribute to needy families impacted by Covid-19 and two hurricanes. This is 500,000 meals in addition to our regular feeding programs. Also due to the impact of Covid-19 lockdown, the Pastors' Training School that we normally facilitate was closed during the year. Sowers4Pastors has been funded under the umbrella of other nonprofit organizations since 2001. As the ministry grew, it became necessary for Sowers4Pastors, Inc. to incorporate in 2017 and work independently as its own 501c3 which was approved by the IRS in 2018. Since 2001, the ministry has helped distribute over 40,000 Bibles and other Bible study materials, has facilitated 125 pastors graduating from a 3 year pastor training program, distributed approximately 3,750 pastor appreciation gifts, provided approximately 18 million meals in our nutrition deficiency feeding programs, facilitated the availability of over $220,000 worth of medical and dental aid and hosted over 175 visiting teams doing community service/medical/educational, construction, etc.

Construction projects - To further the primary mission, the organization assists local villages with church construction. The assistance is primarily with roofing materials after church walls are already built by the local villages themselves. In 2020, Sowers4Pastors helped 15 churches with their construction projects. Since 2001, the ministry has been involved with the construction of 160 churches, 32 bridges, 16 schools, 50 new houses, renovation and repairs of over 100 houses (house constructions and repairs were related to rebuilding following Hurricane Mitch), more than 25 community water projects, and other municipal projects.

Transportation - To further the primary mission, the organization assists local Honduran pastors in purchasing a motorcycle, horse or mule requiring that they at least pay a portion themselves. Motorcycles, horses and mules assist the pastors that often have several congregations in different villages. In 2020, Sowers4Pastors helped pastors purchase 15 motorcycles. Since 2006, 295 pastors have been assisted with motorcycles and 70 pastors with horses or mules.
