Matt & Ellen Zell

We are Matt and Ellen Zell and have been serving in Honduras with Equip since 2010. Our ministry follows the example from Jesus of teaching and acts of love, so we strive in both Biblical discipleship hand in hand with practical helps.

We have a training center in the mountains of the district of La Paz that provides a location for ministry, trainings and community outreaches. This serves as a location that local churches can use for events such as weddings and other events. There are both women’s and children ministries. We also provide Biblical training for over thirty church leaders and pastors that brings training of excellent quality to the local pastors to encourage them in their personal walk and equip them with tools to minister effectively. Agricultural lessons, such as making compost, serve as community outreaches with an opportunity to share the gospel.

The training center is also the main location for the educational ministry of the “Centro de Formación Integral” or CFI which is a wholistic learning center helping youth obtain their high school degree while teaching them the Bible. This year there are over 100 students enrolled in CFI and eight teachers working to reach these youth! CFI also has a second location much further off the pavement that currently has 20 students enrolled. Most of these CFI youths are unsaved/unchurched and so the opportunity is great!

In 2022 we transitioned to working both stateside and in Honduras so that we could be closer to Ellen’s mother who is in need of assistance. This has opened up two new paths of ministry. The first being here in the states at Equip headquarters in Marion, NC, in providing mission trainings for both folks currently serving on the field and those who are interested. The other is in the ability to be able to better help coordinate short term mission teams to go to Honduras to help in the ministry.

We consider is a great privilege and joy to work to proclaim the name that is above all other names, the only name in which salvation is found, and that is the name of Jesus our Lord!
