Nicaragua Day One

We began our journey to Nicaragua at 2 am on Saturday. A 6:30 flight from Little Rock necessitated the early beginning of our day. 

Our flights all went smoothly and we arrived in Managua at 12:30, We  joined up with the rest of our 23 member team and made the hour and a half journey to Granada where we will be staying for the rest of the week.

Sunday morning we began our first day of ministry. Our team traveled to the city of Masatepe where we split up into six teams. The medical team (Bill, Carrie, & Ann) set up a clinic and were able to see 75 patients. The rest of us ministered in five different churches. 


The picture below is of the church we ministered in on Sunday morning. The plastic bucket at the altar is for offerings of food and necessities (notice the roll of TP) for the pastor. Very humbling.

Kaelyn shared her testimony for the very first time on Sunday night. She did an incredible job and I can't begin to tell you how proud of her I was. I've been Kaelyn's pastor all of her life and to see her mature into such a godly young woman is one of the most rewarding things I know.

Sunday night our church service was held out in the street under a light bulb hanging from a tree. It was truly a special time for us. This is a church start with one of the pastor's that we have been training. They have bought property and are looking forward to the time when they can have a roof over their heads for worship.
