Some notes of mine......
We met two American couples on Friday that we are working with on the vitamin program. One couple with two small childrens that live near Masotepe. He works with the pastors around the area teaching and encouraging them and their churches. They are NOT IMB missionaries---they are supported by their home church in USA and by donations from people. that is real faith to step out and totally surrender to God's will for your life--including whether you have money to eat from.
The other couple has a cool program where they identify children with lots of potential that really want to go to University. They take these kids ages 18-22 in to a home with a "mother" and the kids job is to go to school. How awesome to give these kids some hope to break the cycle by getting an education. Some of them want to be nurses and accountants!!
wow--how incredible for us to get to see that ........
Kids are really at risk in Nicaragua. The government(ortega and his wife, (who is a practicing witch), have shut down many orphanages and made the children go back into abusive homes. The orphanages are clean, well run and the children are clean and fed.....how sad :(
Now i beg you to find a copy of THE HOLE IN the GOSPEL by Richard Stearns. It is a really good book. You owe it to yourself to read it!!
