CHILDREN WITH HIV/AIDS
GET A CHANCE AT AN EDUCATION - In March 2011 it
was brought to our attention that children in Somotillo were not
going because their parents had either died of AIDS or they currently
have AIDS and can not work. No work means no income, no income means
no school uniforms. 41 children were blessed in March 2011 to receive
new uniforms and an ice cream party to celebrate their blessings.
Check out their photos here.
DARLING'S
NEW HOUSE - in 2007 I met one of the pooriest families
that I have ever come across. Since then God has put them on my
heart many times and in 2010 He prompted my heart to help them have
a new home. Through many fundraising methods and help from others
I am excited to show you her new house. Click

OPERATION
EDUCATION - Only 35% of the children in Nicaragua
get to go to school. Out of those 35% most only get to go to the
4th grade all because they can't afford a school uniform. 127 kids
will be attending school for the 2011 school year. Read

pray for both of them as they recover. Check out pictures of Oscar

House Project-
In early 2008 a local family here felt led to build a house for
a needy family. We found a very needy family in Coffradia and have
now built them a nice 400 square foot block home with a metal roof
that will last them and their children a life time. Click

Card Making Project
- In July 07 I met one of the nicest communities I had ever met.
They were so happy to be visited by us and really wanted our help
to get them employement. After returning to the US God gave me a
great idea of a way they could easily make some additional money.
That's where the card project was birthed. I took supplies to them
and they drew pictures on them and we made them into greeting cards.
I returned, sold them and each family raised about $78 for drawing
80 cards. The pictures were great and the project was a success.
The money raised was as much as a years salary for most of the families.

Sports Ministry
- being a ball player for most of my life I have a love for sports
and being in Nicaragua and seeing youth play with broken bats, busted
balls and no nets just kills me. In 07 I was blessed to give equipment
to a soccer team and a baseball team through the donations of friends,
businessmen and other organizations.
Each team received new uniforms, balls,
and all the equipment needed to play the game they love.
