John and Karen Ward
The Wards: John, Anna, Colby (Andrew’s wife), Andrew and Karen
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....
