Because We Care Ministries

Nica News 05/4

After a full day on Saturday and half a day today, we made our way to Casa de Shelly! YEAH! All a little tired. Some not sure what to expect but all full of excitement and ready to serve. We are group representing 3 Virginia churches of 3 different denominations working and loving as the Body of Christ. It doesn’t get any better.

As I was driving to the airport, I felt the Lord reminded me that His heart is for the individual. Although I knew the bulk of the mission outreach would be to villages, I set myself to be sensitive to EACH of the individuals He would bring to me. This afternoon I was touched by the children who gathered around me and my puppet, Chimp. My heart was praying for each individual child while I tried to interchange with each one with a smile on my face. I am again awed by my Father who has such personal care for EACH ONE of His creations.

Worship tonight at Prince of Peace church is always amazing glorifying God with our Nicaragua family. Seeing familiar faces are great. Prayers much appreciated for the week. Kingdom growth All Because of Jesus!

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.
