Our church, Gloryland Baptist, in Birmingham, Alabama has a ministry called Central American Missions. This ministry in Honduras is through missionaries Ronnie and Joanne Doss who work very closely with Bro. Graham Hutson from our church. Bro. Doss runs an orphanage that has about 70 children. He also has a Bible Institute that educates national pastors for the ministry. One of the ways that we are able to help is to ship 40 foot containers several times a year with clothes, shoes, and supplies for the orphan home, workers, and national pastors who depend on Bro. Doss. The purpose of this website is to provide updates on ship dates for the container and to provide you with information about the needs of this ministry if you would like to donate items or contribute to this worthy cause. We hope you will prayerfully consider helping us as we accomplish this task.

Gift Details


I have posted pictures of a gift from each age group so you could get an idea of exactly what we provide for each child.  We were able to raise $25 per child.  As you can see, many of the gifts are worth more than $25.  This is due to some of the toys being donated.  Also, we begin shopping early in the year.  In that way, we can find toys on sale and on clearance.  Each photo is labeled with the age group the gift is intended for.


4-6 year old boys


4-6 year old girls



7-9 year old boys


7-9 year old girls



10-12 year old boys



10-12 year old girls



14-16 year old boys

The Christmas shipment is on its way but prayers are needed!

We were able to ship on December 2nd! Again, we are overwhelmed by the Lord's provisions.  Thank you to all who had a part in this shipment.  Because there is political unrest in Honduras at this time, Bro. Doss needs your prayers.  Please pray that he will be able to get the container out despite the events that are happening in Honduras at this time.  We know the Lord knows about all the obstacles.  We are praying His will in this matter.

Serve Him with all your heart and all your soul! -Deuteronomy 11:13

We are very thankful for the 25 willing people who came out last Saturday to help us count and sort clothing, shoes, toys, and household items.  We sorted 3 pallets worth of items!  This ministry is a  church-wide effort.  We could not do this without the labor of so many and without donations from supporters!  Once again, we are reminded of God's provisions.  Bro. Doss expressed that they were in need of underwear and socks.  We probably sorted 7-8 large boxes of brand new undergarments.  Please continue to pray for us as we continue to prepare for the November shipment.
