The morning started off great as Zach and Kyle led the morning devotion. Eight missionaries went to the radio station to sing and share their testimonies. After we got back, the girls went door to door in the barrio of La Barrera. They shared their personal stories, invited them to church (Principe de Paz Baptist Church), and handed out clothes, toys, and food. Half of the boys went to the river bed and loaded the truck with sand that they will use to make concrete… the other half dug up three inches of the ground under the carport in order for the BWCM bus to fit. After lunch, we went to the village of Jinocuao where we served stew, played games with the children, painted nails, made balloon animals, played soccer/volleyball and shared the Gospel using the eBall. Before we left, we passed out dresses made out of pillowcases for the young girls and gave globe balls to the boys. Continue to pray for strength and boldness to share the Gospel to all we connect with. We love 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.
