Nicaragua


Well I'm back. I just spent the last 5 days on a mission trip to Nicaragua. I went with 6 other guys from my church and our main goal was to build a foundation for new barracks on the property of a missionary (Perry) who feeds about 15,000 kids a week. The new rooms have one bathroom each in them so the underground plumbing needed to be installed as well. Our goal was met earlier than expected so we also installed footers for a future warehouse that will store food. And we still had time to go out and make some new friends. I don't have time to post all the pictures I want right now so I'm going to do it in phases. This first phase is from the day we went and visited a community located in a dump.......yes I said a dump. Perry has a feeding center there and feeds about 200 kids. Check it out:



The entrance to the "Village" complete with grazing cows.




The kids.

Dinner. The lizards are kept alive and their legs are pinned together to keep them under control.
One of the reasons we came- to bring bowls & cups for food distribution. This is the Pastor of the "Dump Church".
A different life than me & you.

  1. You see this stuff on the television and it just doesn't do any justice to your heart until you experience in person. I went on a medical missions trip some years ago to Costa Rica and still the images in my heart are sharp! God Bless you and your team.
