Increasing attendance

At the Thursday outreach there are usually 20 unsaved and at Sunday gospel meetings there are often as many as 30 unsaved. A great source of encouragement is the attendance of teenagers. The teens class has 15 students, more than half […]

We were unsure

Submited By: Parent, Mitch & Lori

After the civil unrest, when the barricades came down and things started to normalize, we started up the Sunday School again. Though we had maintained contact with the kids, we were unsure as to how many would return. Before cancelling, we were averaging about 35 children at Sunday School. Since starting up again, we have […]

Critical time

For years, Nicaragua has been known as the safest country in Central America. Although the country is second poorest in the hemisphere and most people struggle to make ends meet, the economy was growing which provided hope for development and advancement. A little over two months ago, everything changed when protests against Social Security reform unleashed […]

On the frontlines

Submited By: Parent, Mitch & Lori

Back in 2017 a gospel effort was started in a community called La Granjita. The Gospel was preached weekly for almost four months. With the rains, it became difficult to continue. After a hiatus and much prayer, two brothers began to preach the Gospel every second Saturday to this very religious community. We value your […]

A meeting place

Submited By: Bachert, Mark & Brenda

The 4 house groups each Thursday evening provide excellent opportunity for the development of gifts and in many ways the formation of spiritual grit in our lives as we work in the trenches. Pray for the Lord to specifically guide and provide for a meeting place. We have been renting for the past 5 years. […]

Young men

We began a Bible study with a group of young men that were contacted during the year. It is a joy to sit around a table to study the Word of God with 10-14 university students. Pray for the assembly here as we continue reaching others with the Gospel. […]

Working with children

Submited By: Parent, Mitch & Lori

Working with children is very challenging and, considering the homes they come from, one cannot help but feel compassion for them. The spiritual poverty is even greater than the obvious physical poverty. The children are memorizing the books of the Bible. In the past year we have given away 7 Bibles to those who have […]

Urgency

Submited By: Parent, Mitch & Lori

Another weeklong camp was held with 100 teens age 13+ in attendance. Two teenagers professed faith in Christ. One could not even wait until the end of meeting. As the speaker was walking away from the pulpit, he got up and followed him out. If only everyone would show such urgency with regards to their […]

An unusual occurrence

A good portion of tile on the floor in the hall in Dolores buckled up for no apparent reason. While the floor was torn up, we decided we might as well fix the cracks in the ceiling, and to paint the building too. Right now, most of the meetings are being held on the patio, […]
