Who We Are | 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.
|
Our Ministry | 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.
|
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.
|
Who Can Be a Mission Volunteer? | Anyone with the desire to minister to hurting people in another culture can volunteer! Experience is helpful but not required. The ability to speak Spanish would be a plus, but we always have interpreters who assist in our work. Each team spends about a week in country ministering to the Nicaraguan people in some of the more remote villages. If you are interested in learning more, please write to Donald, to discover if you can become part of this wonderful work
