Why is Jubilee Important?
God’s Heart for Jubilee
“Years ago the Lord placed a vision and a calling on our hearts to begin Jubilee, but we marvel to know that Jubilee was in God’s heart before the beginning of time. We trust that the hundreds of children and families that have already been shaped and impacted with the power of the gospel and transformative education at Jubilee, this is only the beginning of what God has in store for Jubilee, our students, and families.”

Get to Know Our Stories!
Jubilee goes beyond traditional education. Recently, our 10th-grade students, under the guidance of their Spanish teacher Wendy Elvir, hosted a Grammar Fair during The Dia del Español. This event showcased the fun side of learning Spanish and introduced students to exciting activities that blend education with entertainment. If you’ve ever been curious about Spanish or our approach to learning, keep reading!
One of the highlights of the Grammar Fair was a photoshoot frame of the iconic Don Quijote and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. Created by the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, these characters symbolize courage, imagination, and friendship. They remind us of the importance of pursuing dreams and cherishing friendships.
Fun and Educational Grammar Games
Our students engaged in a variety of enjoyable games that put their language skills to the test:
Word Twister: A Spanish twist on the classic game, challenging players to place their hands and feet on Spanish words.
Word Roulette: Students spun a roulette wheel to form sentences with the word where the wheel stopped.
Grammar Tic-Tac-Toe: A version of “tic-tac-toe” with Spanish words that students must conjugate correctly.
Snake Game (La Culebrita): A game where students wrote and learned basic Spanish concepts as they moved their “snake” across the board.
Fascinating Facts about Spanish
Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world by native speakers.
If we consider the standard Spanish dictionary with around 90,000 words, and add idioms, Americanisms, and other regional expressions, we could be talking about approximately 200,000 words or more. though an average speaker uses only a fraction of them daily.
Spanish has been influenced by many languages, including Arabic, Greek, and indigenous languages from the Americas.
It’s spoken in more than 20 countries, each with its own variations and dialects.
Jubileo’s Grammar Fair was a success, demonstrating that learning Spanish can be fun and enriching. Join us on a mission trip to experience the magic of learning Spanish in a unique and exciting way. We look forward to welcoming you to our vibrant community!

In the heart of Jubilee’s students, a story of redemption and transformation is being written. Sixth grader, Moises, is a remarkable example of this transformation. Coming from a home marked by difficulties, Moises faces unique challenges because of the advanced age of his parents, who struggle to care for him amidst his overwhelming hyperactivity.
Forced by the violence of local gangs, Moises’ oldest sister (in her 30s) migrated to the United States and her absence has understandably caused deep pain and confusion for Moises. His emotions overflow, manifesting in explosive behavior and language laden with anger.
Each day was a battle, and Moises was trapped in a spiral of rage. But amidst the darkness, hope emerged thanks to the loving support of his teacher, Ms. Keyla. Despite the challenges, she never lost faith in Moises. With tireless love and dedication, she tried to guide him on the right path, even in the most difficult moments. However, her efforts seemed to bear no fruit, and hope began to fade.
Children’s Day 2023 arrived (September 10), a day that would change Moises’ life forever. In an act of humility and sincere repentance, Moises went to his teacher and asked for forgiveness from the heart. At that moment, the message of salvation resonated in his soul, and Moises found comfort and forgiveness in the arms of Jesus.
The miracle of transformation began to unfold before our eyes. Moses found peace in the presence of God, regularly attending church and practicing breathing exercises to control his anger. With each step taken in faith, his heart healed, and his spirit strengthened.
Today, Moises tells us with emotion how he has learned to channel his anger constructively. He no longer hurts others with his actions, but finds comfort in prayer and the love of God. And although he still faces challenges, he is determined to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and become the best version of himself.
In Luke 15:10, we find the promise that there is great joy in heaven when a sinner repents. Let us continue to pray for Moises, as his journey has only just begun. If you wish to be part of this wonderful process of transformation, we encourage you to consider sponsoring Moises and being part of his story of redemption and hope. Together, we can make a difference in the life of this brave child. [...]

Meet Bessy, a vibrant 20-year-old alumnus of Jubilee, currently pursuing her second year of Psychology studies at the Honduran National Autonomous University in Tegucigalpa. Despite her young age, Bessy has already left a significant mark on Jubilee’s community.
Bessy’s journey with Jubilee began years ago when she was just a young student. She fondly reminisces about her time as part of Jubilee’s first graduating class of 6th graders back in 2016. This was before the school had expanded to include a middle school, and Bessy treasures the memories of those formative years.
Leaving Jubilee after graduation was undoubtedly a challenging transition for Bessy. However, the Lord had a beautiful surprise in store for her as she found herself back within the familiar halls, this time as a part-time Administrative Assistant. The opportunity to return to Jubilee filled Bessy with immense joy, and she describes Jubilee as her second family.
But Jubilee isn’t just a workplace for Bessy—it’s a place where she finds deep fulfillment and purpose. Raised in a devout Christian household, Bessy and her family are faithful members of Jubilee’s church. Her commitment to serving God has been evident since childhood, and she actively participated in church activities from a young age.
In Bessy words “Belonging to Jubilee is a great blessing for me, from the very beginning. I believe that when I arrived, it was not by chance but for a purpose of the Lord in my life and my family’s, in this place. Jubilee has helped me grow in faith and as a person in different ways, and I am very grateful”
One particular ministry holds a special place in Bessy’s heart—the dance ministry led by Jubilee teacher Ms. Lisbeth Flores. Through dance, Bessy not only expresses her creativity but also brings joy and inspiration to the community. Her passion for serving others shines brightly through her involvement in this ministry.
Bessy’s faith journey is beautifully encapsulated by Psalm 37:4, which reads, “Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” For Bessy, working at Jubilee isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. It’s a way for her to combine her professional skills with her passion for ministry, drawing closer to God through service.
As Bessy continues her studies and her work at Jubilee, she remains grateful for the opportunity to be part of a community that has shaped her into the person she is today. Her story serves as a testament to the transformative power of faith, service, and belonging. [...]
