Praise for 2 great teams! In June, we hosted a youth team from our home church, Heritage Baptist, as well as a work team from Immanuel Baptist. The Heritage team was well-prepared and did an amazing job sharing VBS with 6 different church plants, either at the church or at Centro ABEM. Each of the participating pastors were very grateful for the investment this team made in their ministry and community. One of my favorite things from the week: Day 1 was spent at pastor Francisco’s church, a 2 hour drive from Centro Abem. Before we left, Pastor Francisco shared with me how moved he was that everyone thanked him for allowing them to come when it was they that provided the program, the food, and had come so far to minister with his church. At the end of the week, he came to Centro Abem to give them a token of his church’s appreciation. He left his house on his motorcycle at 8am, and because of multiple storms, traffic, and other delays, he did not arrive until about 3pm. It was a very sweet presentation and meant so much to us and the team. Pastor Joel prayed for him and his church as they seek to plant another church. A wonderful ending to a wonderful week. The Immanuel team did a phenomenal job working at Centro ABEM. The ladies sewed 132 panels of curtains in 5 days! The goal going in was to at least finish enough for the 4 small cabins. They knocked that out in 2 days! These ladies persevered and finished making new curtains for ALL of the cabins at Centro ABEM! The first of the new front porches is done as well! The guys worked in some pretty intense heat with a great attitude and determination. We are so thankful for all who supported and prayed for these teams. Their time here will have lasting impact on the ministry in Nicaragua. Prayer requests:Please pray for us in the coming month as we travel:
