Group 3 led by Alexis (Watts' junior small group and Christine's junior small group) has arrived safely in Nicaragua!
All three travel groups, the entire student ministries Nicaragua team, has now arrived safely. We had an extremely smooth day of travel. No issue with any flights. All went as planned. Thank you for your prayers.
We have a chicken dinner waiting for the final group and then off to their team center.
The entire team seems excited and ready to embrace all that God has planned for us in Nicaragua. Our work begins shortly after breakfast when each serving group will head to the site where they will be working throughout the week. Projects range from leading VBS to digging water lines for sections of the village that have no running water. The task is great, but our God is greater, and we look forward to what HE will accomplish this week.
Our pre trip Bible study focused on Judges 6-8, the story of Gideon. We discussed the idea that God's strength can be most clearly seen in our weakness. As we head out into the midst of great need tomorrow, our prayer is that we would rely on Jesus' strength, as we engage the world with his love.
Dios Te Bendiga,
SM Staff Tream
