The Central United Methodist Church of Danlí is considered the first organized church of the United Methodist mission in Honduras. It began in 1997 as a mission initiative of Bishop Armando Rodriguez, who was the leader of the Methodist Church in Cuba. The Rev. Jose Roberto Peña Nazario, the current pastor of the church, said that The United Methodist Church of Excuapa was organized after Hurricane Mitch devastated several regions in Honduras in 1998. The Excuapa congregation continued to grow and developed another congregation — Ríos de Agua Viva United Methodist, located in the town of Jagua. <ref>"CHURCH IN HONDURAS HAS PLANTED FOUR OTHER CHURCHES", http://www.umcgiving.org/impact-articles/church-in-honduras-has-planted-four-other-churches, 29 February 2020.</ref> | |||
In 1994, the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church launched The Honduras Initiative. Today, the United Methodist Church in Honduras has 12 vital congregations and many others under development. Knowing that God continues to ask each of us to move beyond our comfort zones and to walk our faith journey alongside Christian brothers and sisters in other cultures, The Illinois Great Rivers Conference launched a mission partnership with the United Methodist Church in Honduras in August 2012.<ref>"Methodists On A Mission in Honduras", https://www.wesley-umc.com/2019/02/methodists-on-a-mission-in-honduras/, accessed 29 February 2020.</ref> | |||
