2023 Annual Impact Report

October 19, 2023

After closing our fiscal year (August 2022-July 2023), we're reflecting on our collective impact. Join us in looking back on a year of working for peace and justice in Honduras, and inspiring communities across the world to do the same. 


New Message from Our Executive Director

Jill Stoltzfus


Dear friend,

This year we celebrated 25 years of impact in creating a more just society in Honduras. Reflecting on those 25 years we see God’s faithfulness and the tangible impact of our work in the lives of Hondurans who live in the most vulnerable conditions. This year we celebrate significantly more class days in Honduran public schools, more medicines available in public hospitals and clinics throughout Honduras, and improving relationships with government authorities. We know that these changes in systems affect the lives of millions of Hondurans, and we are proud of the impact we’re having.


We are also thankful for a year of joining together in person with many of you. Together, we brought our deep knowledge of Honduras’ context to DC to advocate for change; we hosted guests in Honduras so they can experience the work firsthand; and we brought the leaders of ASJ-US, ASJ-Canada, and ASJ-Honduras together in Honduras to reaffirm our partnership and celebrate our shared commitment to doing justice together. As I conclude my time as ASJ-US Executive Director I have a great sense of hope and excitement for the future of ASJ. Transitions and big anniversaries inevitably lead to reflection. When I look back, I am struck by all the ways I have seen God’s hand at work in Honduras and through all of you and I am confident that He will remain faithful walking with ASJ in this great work of creating a more just society.


Blessings,


Jill Stoltzfus

ASJ-US Executive Director


¡Bendiciones!

Inspiring civil society in the US with a vision of a more just society
By Elizabeth Hickel September 2, 2025
Dear Friend, On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of Hondurans flooded their streets with prayer and peaceful demonstration. Reports from our team members who attended said it was like an inspirational sea of people all wanting the same thing for their country: peace. One of our ASJ-US colleagues said he walked past Pentecostals dancing and playing music, a woman praying the rosary, nuns walking, and priests and altar boys in full robes–all walking in the same space together for peace.
