Mission and Program Overview
Mission
To help people help themselves and to create innovative, sustainable lifelong change in the lives of individuals, families and communities in Nicaragua.
To serve impoverished communities and families in Nicaragua. Our focus is on the families who live in or near the trash dumps near Managua and the family of God. Generations of families have earned their "living" sifting through other's trash to find anything of value surrounded by fire smoke flies stench and filth. We would like to remove all of the children from this environment and break this cycle of poverty through education and training and to give these families the hope they need to build a better life for themselves their neighbors and their families. One of the ways that we work to do this is by raising up local Nicaraguans who want to build the Kingdom of God and serve the poor. We do this through discipleship and mission training schools.
Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| We travel with nationals and non nationals around the country of Nicaragua to serve the poor share the gospel pray for the sick and do mini training schools. We speak at local churches and to local missionaries as well as in villages and cities. We feed the hungry and help with misc aid as we see needs that need to be met. We often pay to stay in low end housing and pay for transportation and food. | $0 | $45,325 |
| School scholarships school supplies aid to animals and feeding centers for children | $0 | $18,855 |
| We built numerous homes in the Nueva Vida trash dump as well as on the Atlantic coast after the hurricane. We replaced homes built of cardboard plastic and other items from the trash dump with homes built with metal sheeting walls and roof concrete floors electricity and in some cases a covered porch for cooking and laundry. The happiness and pride these families experience owning a home that is safe and dry is overwhelming to watch! | $0 | $9,600 |
| We have missions training schools and events for nationals and non nationals to train them to be disciples of Jesus and to serve in ministry. We host and teach short term weekend schools as well as month long schools throughout the year. We take nationals around the country to share the gospel pray for the sick and serve impoverished communities. | $0 | $7,384 |
