The other day my team and I piled up in the back of a truck and rode to the city dump. After about 10 minutes riding we turned off the main road onto a dirt road. Soon after we turned on the dirt road I could begin to see trash. After about 5 minutes on the dirt road we came to a stop, after we all piled out we could see mountains of trash, through out the mountains you could see people digging through all the trash trying to find anything to eat or to sell. The site was heart breaking. Flies numbered to the hundreds, and dogs went around trying to find anything they could. There was kids...

On Monday of this week we moved from the lakefront one room brick house in El Guayabo, Nicaragua to the luxury of El Puente in Granada, Nicaragua. This was probably the hardest challenge I have faced so far. In El Guayabo life was different, instead of wasting time on material things the people spent their time in fellowship with each other, because they didnt have those other things. Lester was the first kid that ever spoke to us there, we pulled up and opened the door of the car and there was his smiling face. Immediately I fell in love with him. He is an 8 year old boy with...

Here are a few pictures from our ministry. We hope you like them. At the school where we did VBS. Our house we lived all week.

This morning our team went to the city dump. Crammed in the bed of a truck, we bumped our way to the entrance of the dump. Along the sides of the road, piles of trash began appearing more and more. The truck came to a stop and we filed out, carrying the tubs of food we would serve to the people who listened to our message of the gospel.     As I first turned to face the mountainous piles of trash, my heart was overwhelmed. My eyes scanned the miles of trash dotted with people searching for food and items to sell and recycle. We climbed the side of a hill to a shaded area...

God has shown me a lot on this trip. It’s different from seeing it on the movies to see it for yourself. For the past week and a half us girls have been blessed with a translator named Jesus (pronounced Jessie). We were warned that he was not a christian but a really good guy. it’s safe to say now that God’s light is shining in this man and he’s beginning to start his long journey with God.  Who would have ever thought that not only were we impacting the children’s lives but also our translator? We have all grown so close to this man that we now call him...

We have been in Nicaragua for over a week now and it’s crazy how fast the time has went by. It was a little over a week ago when 8 strangers came together to form team Nicaragua. This past week has been an amazing week full of lots of learning and some amazing God moments. Our team prayed that God would show up in big ways and he completely has.    Something God has been teaching our team is how to look for Him in the little things. God is always moving even when its not in our control. We don’t have to solve world hunger or see millions of people come to know Him to...
