After a long journey, we finally made our safe arrival in Nicaragua yesterday (Friday, March 5th) around 1pm. After rounding up our luggage, the buses picked up the team and took us to our home for the week, the Casa Bernabe Orphanage, approximately 45 minutes away from the Managua airport. After arrival at the orphanage, lunch was served and the team felt refueled. We spent the rest of the afternoon touring the orphanage and the town of Vera Cruz, meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones. We capped off our evening with a joint worship service led by some of the older students at Casa, and a wonderful message from their director. Afterwards, our team broke away for a few minutes to have a quick Porch Time and debrief on some of the day's activities.
Today, Saturday March 6th, we are taking students from the orphanage and the surrounding village for a fun day at the beach. Please continue to pray for safety and that we would continue to bond with fellow team members and with the wonderful Nicaraguan people we encounter.
(Due to limited internet access, we are usually only able to our blog in the mornings. Thanks for your patience.)
