Nicaragua 2009



I just returned this month from an impactful trip to Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. God continues to open new doors for us to join those He has called in northern Guatemala and in El Salvador. He has led us to a woman who is from El Salvador and called to the mountains near Coban, Guatemala and a couple who are living south of San Salvador.

The Lord also led us to a group of 1,200 people who live next to an old garbage dump. They were displaced due to flooding from Managua, Nicaragua to a very desolate place north of Managua near Tipitapa. We will help with the construction of a simply built feeding center. Our Guatemalan team will return next month to continue our outreach. We would also like to place a fulltime missionary there from our Guatemalan team. Please pray for wisdom as we approach this new challenge and opportunity for us to be Jesus' hands, feet and heart to these who are so poor.

Steve, My heart is so full; Aleida and I just listened to your testimony and I saw your blog on Nicaragua. I was taken back to our time in Tierra Nuevo Guatemala city /95. The Managua dump scenes were so familiar and my heart was moved with compassion again. The music spoke my hearts cry to our Lord. Thanks for your obedient heart, and God Bless You with the realization of the deepest desires of your heart. Your new buddy in Him, Barclay. "Shiloh/09"
