This was a very productive Trip with a team from Crossroads Church (Douglasville, GA). God really blessed us on this trip . We did Medical/Dental (joint effort with medical people from US and Nicaragua), Children Ministry, and construction.
Medical/Dental?Children Ministry work together and served over a thousand people, both in the city of La Trinidad and near the Construction site.
On the construction side of the story I should say that we started to build the "Camp/ Retreat Center". The first youth camp is scheduled for the first week of January 2011. At least a hundred youth will come. Marriage retreats, pastors and leaders training and church retreats will follow. The walls and roof of one third of the main building was completed by this team. Next big push will take place in October. November and December will be used to do whatever else needed.
This is a great project that will impact, not only the churches we are working with, but those in between Managua and Esteli, and the areas around.
A picture speaks louder than a thousand words they say. Let me share with you a video prepared by Crossroads. There are pictures of the team, the camp, medical, dental, children ministry, etc. We hope you will enjoy it. Please follow this link:
Nicaragua June 13-19, 2010
After the team left, Luis stayed and shared in a one day marriage retreat and at a pastors conference. Many lives were touched by the Lord . Seeing the encouragement in pastors and leaders, and the way they talk about the future, and how God is blessing their lives and ministry is a humbling experience and a big challenge for us.
