Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The Short-Term Missions program allows individuals to step into the Nicaraguan culture for 7-10 days to connect with people, experience the reality of life here, and witness all that God is doing in this beautiful country. Our goal in this program is help people connect with Christ and see how God is working outside of their own culture. Short-Term trips are a combination of experiencing life in Nicaragua and working on projects in our area of influence. We had 10 teams from North America, with a combined total of 112 people who completed 10 project impacting in the region.$31,342-
The Beca Girls program provides both financial and spiritual support for 8 young women and men with their education and growth in their relationship with Christ and others. They are given the opportunity to advance in their education and return to their towns and villages to have a positive impact on their communities through their education.$16,818-
The mentorship program brought 7 young adults to live in Nicaragua and assist Connect Nicaragua with various projects, interact with local people and learn and grow themselves in Christ and all He is doing around them. In the clutter of their regular home life in America it is hard to see the daily miracles that are displayed more plainly when in the setting the mentorship program provides.$11,212-
