Sunday in Nicaragua

We attended Sunday morning service at "CREAD" church.  They invited the Nicaragua Missions worship team to join in with their worship band, "They (we) rocked the house".  What was pretty cool was that the Cread worship band was familiar with the songs we were singing.   Pastor Mike brought the message with Dave Waters interpreting.  After the service many congregants came forward for prayer.















                                                                                




Later that afternoon on our way back to the church for a Distribution, we encountered a tropical downpour.









We handed out 40 school paks to kids from the community who waited patiently for more than an hour for our arrival.  What a humbling and joyful feeling to see the expressions on the kids faces when they opened up their backpacks full of school supplies.    

                                    




This special young man’s name is Noel.  As a result of an accident when he was 8 months old he lost both of his legs.  In spite of his disability he had a positive disposition.  At 13 years of age he’s at a second grade learning level.  He was blessed by the school supplies, which will help him advance in his education, as his desire is to become a teacher.





It’s a privilege for us to hand out these backpacks that are not only filled with school supplies but with HOPE…and these smiles are result of the efforts and generosity of you…The Foothill Vineyard Church and friends!  The smiles on everyone’s faces are your smiles…and they truly say it all.


This is P. Mike, Mike R., Sarah & Karla signing off...till tomorrow as we will be traveling to Managua...
