Because We Care Ministries

Nica News – 5-4

It’s those little things that count the most. Most of you are aware of the feeding program that we carry out in Nicaragua, for the past several months we have been cooking a chicken stew in the villages we visit and serving a hot meal to everyone. Over the months we have seen just about anything you can imagine being used as bowls. This past week members of our team from Canada brought Frisbee’s for the kids to play with. Needless to say at the end of the day they became plates for their food. I think the the most disturbing for me was watching a mother empty her little plastic medicine bags to put food in and take home. With that said Pam and I began to look at things we use on a daily bases that could be used for food bowls in Nicaragua.
SO, I’m asking you to look at how you can collect these items or anything similar through Life Groups, Sunday School, ball teams, church, civic group, family and friends. When you have collected your bowls just send us an e-mail and we will pick them up and get them to Nicaragua. Be Blessed and have a great day…..IHL, Donald and Pammie

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.
