Because We Care Ministries

Nica News 7-22

Blessings from Casa De Shelly……Great last day in Somotillo for our Ga. missionaries. We did give the team a little break this morning and let them sleep in until 7 AM. I’m not getting soft, they just don’t make missionaries like they use too. Team rallied this afternoon for a quick trip to El Ojoche to engage and encounter. By the end of the week you pretty much just wind them up and let them go. Team members find their little niche in the villages so when the truck stops they jump out and begin to serve.
When we have our final “God Moments” it is always amazing to see just how much the team has grown and also their desire to continue in Holy Boldness when they get home. This team was no exception as every member experienced many first in their lives. 100% of these team members now can say they have verbalized their faith and experienced many “first” in their walk with Christ to the Glory of God. Once again a team will leave having received much more than they gave. Off to Managua with this team and pick up our team from VA. and Kansas. Thank you Lord for a great week. 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.
