John and Karen Ward

John and Karen Ward made their first trip to Honduras serving with a team on a week-long trip. Leaving the country that week, they already felt a strong calling to return. They returned again for a second year, and were already planning to lead a team the following year. During that time, God called the Wards full-time to Honduras. This calling was not in their plans, but God had other plans for their lives! In January 2012, John left a healthcare facilities management position, and Karen a high school teaching position, to become full-time Missionaries for HBDM.

John and Karen’s children grew up on the mission field with their parents in Honduras. Andrew has joined the US Army as a Flight Medic, and is married to Colby (see picture above), who is finishing her RN degree. Anna is now college bound.

Many family sacrifices have been made over their 10+ years of service in Honduras, but the blessings have far outweighed them!

Here we are Lord, send us....

See how the Lord called the Fairchilds to Honduras:

Glenn and Kristie Osbon

Glenn & Kristie met in Honduras in June of 2018 during a discipleship class. Nine months later, while on a mission trip in Honduras, they were married in the mountains of Gracias Lempira. Both having been called to missions separately before they met, once they were married they continued serving annually on multiple short-term mission trips. Meanwhile, they were praying for the Lord to open a door for them to serve in Honduras full time. When the door opened for them to join the HBDM family, they prayerfully said yes! In February, Glenn left his job as a furniture salesman, and Kristie left her x-ray career, to pursue full time ministry on the mission field. With the support of the couple’s church and family they moved from Louisiana to Honduras on March 7th, 2025.

Kristie’s 4 children and 2 grandchildren reside in Texas. Lauren, mother of 2 works in Land Acquisitions for the purpose of building prisons. Hunter - a Marine veteran - is in college studying to become a doctor. The twins, Callie and Emmah, are both in college as well. Callie is studying to be a Pharmacist and Emmah is in the X-Ray Program.
