The Hopkins founded 61 Isaiah Ministries and moved to Gracias, Lempira in 2011.
61 Isaiah
61 Isaiah Ministries works with a people group called the Lenca in the mountains of Western Honduras. The vision is to share the hope and love of Jesus Christ, empower the local leadership, and equip them to carry out the Great Commission in Honduras. Through building relationships, 61 Isaiah Ministries is able to share the Gospel, plant churches, make disciples, and participate in areas of community development to reach the Lenca. At 61 Isaiah Ministries, their mission is to serve through five pillars of service: prayer, gospel saturation, planting churches, empowering local leaders, and meeting human need.

Kingdom Life Ministries
Kingdom Life Ministries (Viviendo en el Reino de Dios), was established in October of the year 2010 as Radio Rio de Dios, with the vision to evangelize and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. The plan from the beginning was to have this radio be a Honduran ministry and in 2022 this became a reality. Kingdom Life Ministries (Viviendo en el Reino de Dios) has been fully formed and is in full operation under a Honduran board of directors. In Honduras our frequencies are 1180 AM and 860 AM, and also the nations of the world can tune in through our internet signal. The main radio station is located in the more humble part of the country of Honduras in Belen, Lempira, and a repeater in Olanchito, Yoro. Despite its location, Viviendo en el Reino de Dios has one of the most modern facilities in the country. Lives have been changed through the prayers and preaching of God’s Word over the radio.
