Darwin and Jennifer Zilly – Canales
Darwin (a native Honduran) and Jennifer (originally from Texas) serve as the Administrator and Executive Director at the Living Waters Ranch in Honduras, a transformative Christian school for local low-income youth.
They equip and employ over a dozen Honduran professionals year-round through their school and provide free-of-charge private Christian education to roughly 50 local youth each year.
The program also exemplifies in-depth community outreach in the love of Christ (beyond school walls), including a comprehensive litter pick-up program, intensive reforestation efforts, a youth running team that competes across the country and home visits to local families in need.
Darwin and Jennifer also have a call from God to be parents to orphaned/abandoned youth, and so far have raised 15 children and teenagers in their home since 2013, two of which have special needs.
This couple is carrying forth the vision of late missionary Teresa Devlin, who founded the Living Waters Ranch before her death in 2012.
