Grace Gehlken, Communications and Child Sponsorship Coordinator
Grace first visited our ministries in Honduras in the seventh grade, where she fell in love with Nohelia, a child at our Children’s Home who was two years old at the time. She became involved with the Child Sponsorship program by making and selling earrings so that she could send $20 to support Nohelia every month. In 2019, she acted as the Lead Intern for our summer internship, where she lived at the Children’s Home and created close relationships with our children and staff. Her passion for helping others to create relationships with our children combined with her gift for visual communication make Grace a perfect fit for our Communications and Child Sponsorship Coordinator. She graduated from Wofford College with a Major in Spanish, double minor in business and sociology/anthropology as well as a concentration in Latin American and Caribbean studies. Grace knew her studies would be used to somehow serve those in Honduras, and we are so happy that God has had such a wonderful plan instore for her and our ministry since we first met her in middle school.
