July 2nd Update

Another glorious day on the Mission Field has passed:  good works were performed, children laughed, prayers prayed, gospel shared, and our Lord magnified!  The team began the day at Pascuala.  The ladies on the team entertained the children and women of the village with games, bubbles, songs; while the men on our mission team worked diligently on hauling  rocks and other material to deposit inside the village where water does not readily drain and eventually creates stagnant water and unhealthy conditions within the village.  More work remains but hopefully will be continued by future teams.

In the afternoon the team headed out to Villa Esperzana with a medical team, supplies, and eager folks ready to  help.  After a time of play, sharing the gospel and blessings – members of the village and Mission team traveled to the Grande Alto River for a Baptism. Two men and one woman participated in this public profession of their faith. This is proof that lives are being changed and God’s presence is undeniable.

About 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.

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. 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.

Who Can 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 contact us to discover if you can become part of this wonderful work.
