3 Days Left!


On Saturday, June 17th, the team will board a plane for Nicaragua!  We have been preparing in morning meetings for the past several months and doing lots of last minute planning over the past few days to be ready for the trip and we are very excited to see what God has in store as we finally head out.

Brianna Johnson - 6/18/17

Today’s experiences were incredible (to say the least). One thing that stood out during our home visits was how hopeful and thankful these families were. Both families I met with were persistent that our Lord has a plan for their life and that they relied fully on Him. One lady in particular was single with 6 children; she was out of work and she poured out the joy of Christ in her words. It was inspiring to see how much she loved the Lord. These ladies were strong women of the Lord and it was inspiring.

Projects and Celebrations

Today we completed lots of manual labor around the farm and within the community. There were two groups who went to English class with Bethany, who is a missionary here. In reflecting on the class, Christiana mentioned that it was the first time she was able to really connect with someone here. She feels like that's why she came - to enjoy being with the Nicaraguan people! We ended the day by celebrating Grace's quinceañera (15th birthday) and Melissa's 16th birthday. We ate yummy cake and broke piñatas that looked like the girls. God is answering prayer... we were able to bless those around us and He's keeping us safe! Thanks for continuing to lift us up in prayer.
