This is the day that the Lord has made… and we’ve rejoiced in it! Our first day on the mission field has been incredible. We worshiped with people from Leon this morning and with those in Somotillo tonight. It’s great to reconnect with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. This morning as we began to worship I was reminded of my church family back home and all the followers of Christ that will gather to worship our God. The Kingdom is BIG and by His grace and power this week it will grow. Names were written in the Lambs book of life today as BWCM was preaching in three separate cities here in Nicaragua. People from all three churches gave their lives to Christ. The Gospel is Powerful! We are so grateful for so many back home that made it possible for us to be here. May God find us Kingdom Minded as we serve him this week.

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.
