Four Corners Global Outreach emerged from humble beginnings in 2017 when founder Joel Sneed felt divine direction to establish a coffee business that would fund mission work. By 2019, this vision had expanded into a full-fledged nonprofit operating alongside God's Little One in Honduras, bringing transformation to both mountain villages and dangerous urban neighborhoods.

One of there projects is the distribution of ingenious water filtration systems that cost just $25 each but provide families with clean drinking water for up to 20 years. Rather than positioning themselves as a humanitarian organization, Four Corners uses these practical tools to open doors for Gospel presentation, creating relationships that lead to spiritual transformation. They've distributed hundreds of filters throughout Honduras in communities where contaminated water creates serious health issues.

Perhaps their most ambitious undertaking is Bright Minds Christian Academy, a bilingual school serving children in the Limpera Mountains. What began with just ten students has become a pathway to opportunity for children who previously had no educational options. These students, who initially spoke only Spanish, have made such remarkable progress that they now prefer speaking English—positioning them for future leadership roles both locally and globally. This school represents the long-term vision of Four Corners: raising up indigenous leaders who will transform their own communities.

The ministry doesn't shy away from challenging environments, regularly venturing into what locals call "hot areas"—neighborhoods where violence can be commonplace. In these communities, they've witnessed extraordinary spiritual breakthroughs, including the conversion of a gang member who now serves God faithfully. Whether preaching in pouring rain under a simple shed or going door-to-door in dangerous neighborhoods, Four Corners embodies a mission philosophy centered on following God's leading regardless of comfort or convenience.

Want to experience how international mission work can transform not just those being served but also those who serve? Go on a mission trip and discover how stepping out of your comfort zone can change your perspective forever. As Brother Joel says, "Just go, and watch what it does to you, watch what it does to your family. You'll come back home and everything inside of you has changed."

Journey into the heart of global missions through the eyes of Pastor Joel Sneed, who shares compelling stories from his decades of ministry experience in Honduras.

Pastor Joel takes us back to his formative years alongside mission pioneers Brother Daniel and Brother Joey Swinnea, recounting adventures that range from humorous mishaps to profound spiritual encounters.

The conversation reveals how experiencing extreme poverty and witnessing extraordinary spiritual hunger forever altered Brother Joel's perspective. He describes altar services where people would respond with remarkable sensitivity that continues to inspire his work today. Perhaps most moving is Brother Joel's reflection on the legacy of Brother Daniel Swinnnea.

But Pastor Joel doesn't just look backward—he challenges listeners to discover their own mission fields. "When I walk out these doors today, I'm on the mission field," he explains, dissolving the artificial boundary between foreign and domestic ministry. His practical advice rings with authenticity: "Even a bad mission trip is a good mission trip" because of the relationships formed through shared sacrifice and service.

Whether you're considering your first mission trip or looking to rekindle your passion for reaching others, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical wisdom from someone who has traversed both the physical terrain of Honduras and the spiritual landscape of cross-cultural ministry. What's your mission field waiting to be discovered?

Preston and Kem Moreino's journey with God's Little One Honduras Missions reveals the beautiful, challenging, and sometimes hilarious reality of cross-cultural ministry. In this part 3 with Preston and Kem we talk about times they have had doing missions work in Honduras.

we start out with talking about one of the first times they went. Planting crops at the GLOW Center and assisting with children's ministry in remote mountain villages. Their experiences quickly shatter the myth that mission work requires specialized preaching or teaching gifts. As Preston emphasizes, "Any work that's done for the Lord is ministry," whether driving, cooking, or constructing buildings.

Through powerful stories like ministering at an unplanned mountain clinic where doctors witnessed God's presence and asked for prayer themselves, the Moreinos demonstrate how the most significant ministry can happen in unexpected, even inconvenient moments. Their candid discussion about cultural differences—including surviving an extended all-night prayer service—offers both wisdom and humor for anyone considering cross-cultural ministry.

Perhaps most moving is their reflection on creating tangible reminders of spiritual experiences. Taking inspiration from biblical memorial practices, they distributed simple rocks to youth retreat participants as physical markers of God's work. These objects become conversation starters, allowing testimonies to spread beyond the mission field and into everyday life.

For anyone wondering if they have what it takes to serve in missions, the Moreinos offer simple encouragement: "Go find your passion, go find your giftings, what God has given you, and start using them in the Kingdom of God." Your willingness to say yes might lead to exactly the transformation someone else needs—and profoundly change you in the process.

Have you considered how God might use your unique gifts in mission work? What's stopping you from taking that first step?
