Blessings from Casa De Shelly…….In just a few minutes we will be starting one of the most exciting days ever here in Somotillo. Praising GOD for this team of baseball players that are here to engage around 90 young men from the area. As many of you know that when we roll up into a village the men either leave or aren’t there at all. We have invited these guys to come learn and play the game of baseball, on Sunday afternoon there could be thousands of men in the ball stadium. Our plan now is to enjoy the game and SHOW the LOVE of GOD to each of these young men and on Sunday Dr Bill Ashford will present the GOSPEL. Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will begin to prepare the hearts of many.
Also this morning we have a team from FBC Roanoke that will be doing VBS in several of the local schools, yes I did say schools. I feel very confident in saying that none of the young people that will be walking to school have any idea that a group of North Americans are going to show up at their school and disrupt their class but I’m pretty sure they will be thankful. My plan today is to watch The Kingdom of God grow in an amazing way to the Glory of Mike. 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.
