Building Lasting Economic Change from the Inside Out
providing biblical training & resources for entrepreneurs
Despite decades of continual charity work, unemployment rates and poverty remain indescribably high in Central America. Emprende’s desire is to effect lasting economic change from the inside out by providing a Biblical framework for business as well as resources to help launch new businesses.
Creating businesses is co-creating with God for the common good of a community.
There should be no separation between secular work and holy work; everything we do is for the Kingdom of God.
In the last 3 years Emprende has trained over 1000 community leaders in doing business with Biblical principles, and many of these have been able to launch self-sustaining businesses in their communities. These new businesses create rare and valuable jobs for other people in the same communities.
Economic & Spiritual Impact
The economic impact of our Emprende courses is tremendous, but the spiritual impact of these businesses is even greater.
imagine…
Imagine what could happen, in a country with hardly any job opportunities, where corruption chokes every industry, if all of the thriving businesses were owned and operated by people of integrity who see their employees as fellow disciples of Christ.
Breaking the Yoke of Poverty
Emprende prepares the next generation of business women and men through seven modules designed to transform the heart and mind of the Entrepreneur.
We prepare entrepreneurs to impact Latin America with a biblical way of doing business, generating employment opportunities, and thus breaking the yoke of poverty in our countries.

We Need Your Support
Prior to the coronavirus lockdowns of 2020, Emprende was limited to in-person classes in our hometown of Siguatepeque, Honduras. During the early months of the lockdown the Emprede team recreated the entire course to take it online.
With our first online course we more than tripled the number of students, and we were able to minister to students as far away as Columbia, dominican republic, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Venezuela!
This explosive growth showed our team an exciting new vision: Emprende Global - a network of online and in-person Emprende classes reaching the entire Latin American world.
The vision is big, can you help us?
