Eric and Ashley Woodworth & Their Three Children
The focus of Tegus Ministries is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people of Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Both accepted Christ as young adults in the summer of 2007. They soon were baptized and discipled in their local church, taking every opportunity to serve. Every small faithful “yes” to serving the Lord slowly grew from cleaning to helping to teaching and eventually assisting Pastor Josh Bevan and his wife, Candace, in planting Lighthouse Baptist Church in Xenia, Ohio. Eric served on that staff from the summer of 2009 through December 2016. Both Eric and Ashley continued to grow and learn in ministry throughout their time in Xenia. During that time they also grew their family, being blessed with three awesome children: Joel, Owen, and Evelyn. Following the Holy Spirit’s prompting, the Woodworth’s surrendered to foreign missions and were approved as BBFI missionaries to Honduras in September 2016. In December 2018, they completed fundraising and moved to Costa Rica for one year of Spanish language training. After a short delay with COVID related travel restrictions, they moved to Tegucigalpa, Honduras in October 2020. Their desire is to organize new churches in the city of Tegucigalpa and disciple men and women in the Word of God.
Letter Update
The church plant here in the city celebrated its 2nd Anniversary with 71 people in attendance and 8 first tie visitors! We give God all the glory for the souls saved and the lives changed over the last two years through the ministries of the church. We also want to take a moment to thank all the churches and people who have supported our missionary family and made this new church plant in the capital city of Honduras possible. Thank you!
In May and June we saw many new ministry opportunities opened to our family and to the church. Just in these two months we were able to share the Gospel with and minister to a facility for kids and teens abandoned by their families, the children’s wing of a poor hospital, and a local kindergarten; all new areas for us and future launching points to reach more people with the Gospel!
Please pray for God to continue to work in the ministries of the church and all these new opportunities mentioned as well as provide a permanent home for the church. The work continues and we are looking forward to what God has in store for the church and for our family in the second half of 2024!
