Nica News – February 4th

Because We Care Ministries (BWCM) has a great opportunity that we
wanted to share with everyone.  We have a BWCM supporter who has
offered to buy 1 chicken for every chicken that is purchased between
now and March 13th.  So if you will buy 1 chicken, BWCM gets 2
chickens… if you buy 5 chickens, BWCM gets 10 chickens… if you buy a
dozen chickens, BWCM gets two dozen chickens… you get the idea. 
Chickens cost $8 each so please consider buying some chickens today as
a way to serve the Lord through Because We Care Ministries’ new and
exciting farm program which will help the people of Nicaragua be more
self sufficient over time.

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.
