More about the OverholtsThe Overholts
Serving WGM in Honduras

The Overholts bring unique gifts to their ministry in Choluteca, Honduras. Larry's background is Agriculture and Human & Community Resource Development. Angie's passion is nursing and family care. Together, they have served the Lord through church planting, evangelism and community development.

WGM's ministry in Choluteca started in 1999 after Hurricane Mitch. The national church and Mission worked together in sending a pastoral family to establish a regional church. In 2000, the Overholts joined in developing this ministry in which the church focuses on community transformation and humanitarian needs.

This regional ministry team is involved in church planting and discipleship. Another aspect of the ministry is economic development, education, health care and sports. Each of these areas interacts with the other for successful development of a community. The Overholt's ministry includes four established congregations and a leadership training program.

Angie and Larry have three children and one grandchild.

More about the SearlsThe Searls

Including people in their family life is very important, as the Searls model a family committed to Jesus Christ.

Our Tradition of Missionary Day

One of the hallmarks of Indian Springs Holiness Camp Meeting has been its involvement with missionaries committed to the understanding and application of Scriptural Holiness. It has been our tradition to support and feature missionaries serving with World Gospel Mission one year and OMS International the next year.

Missionary Day has always had a special focus within the life of the camp. Throughout the day, all services in the Main Tabernacle have brief interviews with various members of our missionary families. In addition, one of the adults visits the Children’s, the ‘Tweens’ and Youth programs in order to share the missionary experience with all ages on the camp ground.

Missionary Day ends in a deeply meaningful missionary message followed by a special offering. In 2006, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was so evident after the message, that an offering of $350,000 resulted! These funds went to the support and ministries of Mr. & Mrs. Billy Wayne Fuller and Mr. & Mrs. Billy Coppedge in Uganda and Kenya.

Please keep our missionary families in your prayers for their ministries, their financial support and their safety.
