Today we visited two elementary schools. We made salvation bracelets with the kids and had a great time singing and dancing. The chicken dance was a big hit! We spent time driving up and down the road to Villa Nueva, distributing clothes and stuffed animals. After lunch, the team headed to the village of Pascuala where we painted fingernails, blew bubbles, played with beach balls and made food. We did a skit about hearing God’s voice and how Jesus is our bridge to a relationship with God. We also served everyone in the village food and distributed more clothes and stuffed animals on our way back home. The team wrapped up the afternoon with a hike up the Mountain of Prayer, where we were blessed with a beautiful view of Somotillo. We were then given a tour of the farm and medical clinic back at Casa de Shelly. Great week of Kingdom Building…..Thank you LORD for allowing us to serve you

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.
