Who we are

We are Paul and Loring Hammond.

Married in 1999. Six kids, nine grandchildren. Decades of leading worship, from drug rehab centers in Russia to the marketplace in Kenya to small rural churches in Honduras.

In 2016, God said go. We are going.

The Call

The call came in 2016.
It was confirmed the very next day.

Since 2016 we have been preparing to answer the call of God on our lives: to step away from secular work and serve as missionaries to Honduras. Some of you know the story of the call and the miraculous confirmation that came with it. That is a story we love to tell in person, so ask us.

Both of us have spent decades in worship ministry around the world. We have watched God move from drug rehab centers in Russia to the marketplace in Kenya to small rural churches in Honduras. Honduras is where our heart is now.

The Work

The call is multi-faceted.

Here is what we believe God is sending us to do.

Worship Leader Training & Mentorship

Building relationships with pastors and equipping worship leaders, because everything in a church context should be worship.
