Well, I didn’t make it to this part of my To Do List last week. And because we spent the night hearing from our Nicaraguan Mission Team, I didn’t have much to type about. They did a great job presenting. The work we’re doing there in partnership with our Nica sisters and brothers is so very cool! We work with 2 organizations:
El Ayudante – we use these guys for our food and lodging and logistics/ministry help (translators, etc.) They do a GREAT job!! And their site is great – go check it out!
Alcance- our newest partner is a non-profit from here in the states. They started out of Norcross UMC in Atlanta. They hooked us up with our Sister Church. We’re in the process now of the first stages of a worship building for them. We just delivered 170 water filters (thanks to the Advent Conspiracy) that will make a world of difference. And we’re praying for their congregation of 35 or so families by name. They gave us a roster with each member in each family listed. So we’ve divided those names up and asked people to put their family names up somewhere (I put stickies on the back) that would daily remind them of our blessings and their needs (on their fridge, by a light switch, over the bathroom sink, etc.)
I’m working now on uploading a slideshow of some pictures from this last trip.
Thanks to the team for being such servants and for helping our church understand how big a church we’re a part of!
