This has been an amazing week of ministry here in Nicaragua that is coming to an end, or somewhat coming to an end. We have been blessed to do so much ministry with the Nicaraguan people but there is so much ministry to do when we come home. There is much ministry to do as our three team head back to the states and ministry planning for these teams as they prepare to come back on trips on a later date. If there is a theme this week for these three teams I do believe it would be gratitude. Gratitude to work together, serve together, partner together, and gratitude for all God has allowed us to see Him do. Our hearts are full as we begin the process of coming home and we cannot wait to see how God is going to take what He has done in each individual’s heart and transfer it within our homes, churches, and home towns. To God be the glory!

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.
