Joel and Maite Aycock
Joel Aycock felt the call to be a missionary as a teenager on one of the many trips
that he took to Honduras with his church, Asbury Methodist, from Madison, Alabama.
Joel fell in love with the culture, food, and people of Honduras and knew that he
wanted to help improve their living conditions in some way. After graduating from
Samford University in May, 2007, he was praying for God to lead him as to how he
should fulfill his calling as a missionary. After reading an article about how Samaritan's
Purse uses the Biosand Water Filter to bring pure water to people all over the world,
Joel knew that this what he was being called to do in the Copan Mountains of Honduras.
He left in his pick-up truck from Alabama with his brother Nathan Aycock and drove
over 2600 miles down to Honduras in July, 2007, to begin his water purification
project using the biosand water filter. Joel stayed down in Honduras until December
making and installing water filters in villages throughout the Copan Mountains.
When he came back to the United States for Christmas, he felt that this water project
was a thing worth continuing and started His Hands Mission International, a 501c3
Non-Profit organization, to help support his calling to serve in Honduras.
Joel Aycock married Maite Rosa, a resident of Honduras, on February 2, 2008 in El
Paraiso, Copan, Honduras, where they are currently living and working. Joel makes
filters in El Paraiso and carries them to the surrounding villages with the help
of local church and community leaders. With each filter Joel installs in a house/school/church,
he has the opportunity to share with the residents of the communities about the
power and love of God and the salvation that He offers through His son Christ Jesus.
Maite Rosa Aycock currently takes care of their child, Joel Josiah Aycock, who was
born on November 24, 2008, and is quite possibly the coolest, best looking baby
south of the Rio Grande.

The material cost for a filter is $35 but the total cost of making, transporting, and installing a filter in a mountain village home is $75. One filter supplies clean water to up to 35 people.
