Nica News 4/22

April 22, 2012

Today was a very full and blessed day. Everyone was up before 6am due to going to bed between 8:30-9pm Saturday night. We were all pretty tired from our plane and car ride. After breakfast we visited a village (Pascuala)where we dug footers for a new house, played soccer, painted nails and passed out clothing, toys, and food. In the afternoon we traveled further off the main road to a village (Los Mesas)where we stayed for a few hours. We played soccer, basketball, Frisbee, and Duck, Duck, Goose. All the girls got their nails painted and everyone was given medicine. We made a huge pot of food and distributed clothing and toys. We shared the gospel a few times trusting that God’s word will NOT return void as He has promised.

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.
