2nd Day of Medical Clinics

Believing God to touch this young man who is deaf and mute. He had recently fallen off a bicycle and we think he had a collapsed lung. We paid for him to get to the nearest town to get a chest x-ray. Even in his pain, he had the sweetest countenance which touched all our hearts.

The people at today's clinic were grateful. No mission team has ever been to Pueblo Neuvro. Their medical and spiritual needs were great. The anointing on the evangelism area was amazing seeing. 154 people said "yes" to following Jesus.

Everyone loves a new toothbrush and we've blessed 571 people with one so far. Everyone gets one after prayer.

Sac-packs and Pillowcase Dresses

Little dresses are being distributed in Nicaragua thanks to an amazing group of sewers.

Thanks to all the senior saints that made these adorable sac packs. The are going to be shared with child living in the dump by Pastor Douglas and his wife Rosario.

Nothing like different people praying for each other.

VBS-2nd Day

We got to serve 300 children at our second day of VBS. It's hard to believe that 7 years ago we partnered with about 7 or 8 inexperienced children's ministry leaders and today we served with 29 such leaders, many of whom have graduated from the children's ministry certication program. All the leaders received "Service Awards" at VBS, which was a great honor for them.

Regardless of their age, all the kids wanted to pose in their new sunglasses (VBS craft).

Lot's of "Jesus Love" was shared today. Not sure who was blessed the most...the children or the team? Church tonight and first medical clinic starts early in the morning.

First Day - Morning

Starting the morning with a beautiful breakfast together. Our day being re-arranged due to the medicines being held, but we believe during our worship time this morning, the Lord will order our steps.

Team enjoying their first set of encouragement cards. Thanks to everyone who wrote. Mail call is a great way to start the day.

Nicaragua Team Arrived Safely

The team arrived safely in Managua this afternoon. However, there have been complications & communications issues between the country's health dept. and customs to release the medications taken for the medical clinics. One team member will have to stay overnight in Managua with Dr. Salinas and Edgar, the translator, to see if a fax arrives in the morning at the airport in order for the medications to be released. Please join the team in prayer and expectation as they pray for favor.
