Above: Missionaries prepare for an "extreme team" mission into the mountains of Nicaragua.
Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. To the north it is bordered by Honduras, and to the south by Costa Rica. Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere, partly because of the long civil war of the 1980's and the devastation caused by hurricane Mitch in 1998. The vast majority of the five million inhabitants live in abject poverty with many suffering from severe malnutrition and starvation.
This ministry helps people meet their chief need for a Savior, while also helping to meet the critical physical needs of hunger, poor substandard housing, shortage of water, lack of schools and education, lack of churches and pastor sponsorship. Each team spends about a week in country ministering to the Nicaraguan people in some of the more remote villages. Besides the sharing of the Gospel we offer general economic, healthcare, and emergency relief. To date we have helped feed tens of thousands of hungry people with hundreds of tons of food.
Because We Care Ministries was founded in 2000 by Dr. Donald Gillette. We believe that when "God shows up, he shows off." We stand amazed at what he is using the ministry to accomplish. BWCM is a Christian non-profit organization. The ministry is inter-denominational. Our mission is to evangelize the lost. We witness through various relief ministries to the people of Nicaragua.
