Because We Care Ministries

Nica News

Good morning and blessings from Casa De Gillette. Pam and I have truly enjoyed our 2 weeks off from Nicaragua but we are ready to get back to work. Today we will return to Nicaragua refreshed and renewed. I learned yesterday that as of today the Kroger cards that are linked to BWCM will no longer be usable. Kroger has started another program called “Community Rewards” that will link BWCM with your Kroger plus card. I have filled out the paperwork and will let you know when its time to register you Kroger Plus card. You will have to go to Krogers web site and register your card. I’ll send out another letter as soon as I hear from Kroger.
Monday we will begin out 10th year of Manna Fest. For those that are new to the program its an opportunity for you and your church family to purchase food for the families in Nicaragua that will be given out during Christmas. We can feed a family of 6 for a week at a cost of $10.00.
I also wanted to share with you a video that was done by Bedrock Community Church about their week in Somottillo.

It’s All About Jesus,

Be Blessed and have a great weekend.

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.
