MINISTERIOS COPA DE AGUA FRESCA
In Central America, A Cup of Cold Water Missions has a presence in Honduras and El Salvador.
Honduras
ACOCW Ministries, Inc. is a legally registered non-profit organization in Honduras. Our representative, Pastor Marco Contreras, and his wife, Elida, began a church in the area of El Banano under a mango tree in 2003. We helped to complete a church building there in 2012. We have seen the church grow from 50 to more than 750 members with three churches in El Banano. We feed, equip, build homes for the homeless, and support the ministry there. We have the first school in the area on our church property, a clinic for the church community, a daily feeding program for 175 children at all three churches, and grow coconuts, limes, a garden, and raise animals to supply the needs of the church by the grace of God and the provision He supplies through people like you, since 2005. We have also built a church and home for the pastor in Choluteca, which is in Southern Honduras, and helped to build fifteen churches in that area!
In April of 2025, we dedicated a new church building for the Zacatete Indian tribe on a mountain near El Progresso. We travel there often and assist with food, clothing, medical care, and minister to the people the word of God.
El Salvador
In 2013, our first church was completed in El Salvador. Pastor Marta Aguilar leads a food program for children every Sunday! In 2021, a second church was planted in San Salvador in 2021, led by Pastor Airilio. At present, we are renting a space for this church, but our vision is to buy property and build a facility for this congregation.
ACOCW also supports a drug rehabilitation center for men in San Salvador where men are being set free from addiction. We are praying for a new facility for them as well.
