We are here! After a long night and day of travel, leaving LAX at 1:40 AM, the team has arrived in the mountain city of Matagalpa. This is the place where last year we volunteered to help paint rooms in a local school and met many wonderful people. The need here is great as school supplies can cost up to double here what we would pay at home, and this is often impossible for families living on less than $50. per month.
Shortly after arriving the skies opened up and we were treated to a booming thunderstorm and intense rain. This has been a very wet season here and hopefully we're prepared for lots of mud. Tomorrow morning we'll be visiting the neighbor city of Esteli where we'll pass out Paks to children attending a school for the handicapped.
Thanks again to all who have donated, prayed and supported the team and this Mission. We are believing that these families here will be blessed and that the humble gifts we bring will be an introduction to God's undying love.

Oh such a familiar looking picture outside the airport! Its awesome to see Elias in the video too! :) I love you all so much and cannot believe how often I have been thinking and praying for you guys today!
ReplyDeleteGod, empower our Nicaragua team and fill them with your spirit. Let them be your hands and feet and allow them to see the world through Your eyes. Break their heart for what breaks yours Father. Allow them to see miracles and bring many divine appointments. Its in your son Jesus' name we serve, love, and pray. Amen
