Trip 19
We just returned from our 19th mission trip to Nicaragua. This time, we took a small team from our home church, Graceland Baptist in New Albany, Indiana.
The team ministered to over 1000 children, providing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to 500 and a fresh cooked meal to about 200. All heard the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Glory to Glory also continues it's weeking feeding programs for 225 children.
On this trip we also finalized the purchase of two lots and met with a contractor concerning the building of a mission house. We will return to Nica soon to continue these plans and building.
The photo is Eddy, who found us in a public area one afternoon. Richard has his shirt that says, Yo Soy Favorito De Dios. Eddy asked about it and ended up accepting Jesus as his savior. He also came to church that night where Richard introducted him to the Pastor who promised to follow up.
