Because We Care Ministries

Nica News 5/28

GOOOOOD MORNING CENTRAL AMERICA palms 118: 64 says “This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.”

WE woke up early this morning as usual to an amazing meal prepared by Mama Maria. After breakfast we had devotion, then went to the radio station. Dave and Bob shared their testimonies, and John gave a sermon about how we are united in Christ, but divided by sin. After the radio, we traveled back to the Casa de Shelly. Soon after, we went to La Barrera to make concrete. We finished the job quickly and the ditch we dug was filled with the freshly mixed cement. Soon, after the job at La Barrera was finished, we came back to the compound. We rested and recouped to travel to Villa Esperanza. We took soccer, baseball, medical and food supplies. It was very hot. As we left the village kids lined the road as we threw candy at them. Got back to the compound ate dinner and had free time to ride the horse “lucero”. Great day here in Nicaragua, thankful for all the thoughts and prayers!

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.
