Aaron was born in Honduras and lived there until he was 10. Rachel grew up in Mississippi. They met on a blind date in 2004 and quickly realized they both had a passion for missions. Because of Aaron’s background, he had a desire to one day return to Honduras. Rachel served on several mission trips to Haiti, during which she realized the great need for God’s Word to be preached worldwide. In 2006, they married and moved to Honduras to teach in a bilingual school outside of Tegucigalpa. While there, they became even more aware of the need for churches that teach the transforming power of the gospel (Romans 10:17).

Aaron and Rachel moved back to Mississippi so that Aaron could get an M. Div. from Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS) in Jackson. While there Aaron served at Second Presbyterian in Yazoo City as the youth director and intern. Rachel taught at the local Christian school, then later left the classroom to be a full-time mom. The Halberts are currently serving in the capital of Honduras, Tegucigalpa, where Aaron pastors the church plant there. Their work includes discipleship, mentoring, and seeking to raise up godly men within Honduras to plant more confessional presbyterian churches. Please pray as their family continues to do the work of the gospel in Honduras.
