By the end of 2007 I realized that 2008 was going to be the beginning of a whole new walk of faith for me.

God started showing me many new ideas that I feel are key to the success of families in Nicaragua. My MAIN goals are to see these families become self-sufficient, and in love with Jesus. Families in Nicaragua are proud of who they are and desire to provide for their familes just like we do. Unfortunately, they do not have the resources to do so. That is how we can help.

I have heard stories of how purchasing a simple wooden hoe and shovel turned an entire community from starvation to having enough crops to feed their family and sell to others. It can be that simple. It is my plan to go and research these villages and find out just what it will take to change the lives of many hungry families and along the way telling them about Jesus and how He wants to supply their every need.

I am still praying about what to do and how to accomplish it. For now I feel the items below are the areas of focus I will begin with. Please partner in prayer with me that I will have wisdom and clear direction from the Lord as I move forward and that the finances needed will be easily obtained.

1. Traveling in new territories on a more consistent basis. (At least once a month for the next 6-8 months)

2. Researching the new villages and determining the needs of that community as well as selecting at least one village to start working in.

3. Scoping out property and real estate to either purchase an existing facility or build one that can hold team members and staff.

4. Developing partnerships with churches, companies and persons who have the same interest.
