In December of 2009 we began reading a book together called "The Hole in our Gospel" by Richard Stearns. As we read this book we became increasingly challenged by the message to serve the poor and needy. Both of us felt a stirring in our hearts that must be reckoned with. We had unanswered questions of when, where, how, and who to serve, until we heard about the opportunity to serve in Nicaragua with our church.
We will be joining a team of 30 in July 2010 to serve, love, and fellowship with the Nicaraguans. Some trip objectives include:
- Children's ministry: VBS
- Outreach: vitamins, dental health, clothing, shoes, books, etc
- Technology: computers, internet connection
- Crafts: blankets, gardening, baking
- Building Projects: houses and preschool building
- Sports: baseball, soccer, kickball
- Prayer - We fully believe in the power of prayer! We would appreciate prayers for safety, for spiritual impact, and lasting relationships.
- Donations - We will be packing suitcases full of vitamins, dental care, and kids shoes. If you would like to participate through giving, please let us know.
- Financially - We are responsible to raise $2200 for this trip. Any monetary donation will be a tremendous help for us, so we can fulfill our desire to serve.
