Two years ago our family visited a German bakery in the middle of rural Nicaragua. The smell of fresh bread drew us in. Immediately we made a connection with the owners that live here in Nicaragua, own the bakery and lead a church and youth center. We have continued our friendship and partnership over that past 2 years.
We have followed along as their vision for youth and the communities they serve has grown. They are immersed in the midst of Nicaragua…all of its beauty and hardships.
We have been intentional in seeking ways to join in their mission. This past week we had our crew finish off one of their Sunday school buildings. The outreach to kids in surrounding communities has been growing. The kids come to get a nutritious meal, Bible teaching and a time to hang out. It is a highlight of the week!
Having a project to do together was great for our group. Seeing all the kids using our little project on Sunday and having Zeke sit and learn a Bible story was a foretaste of what the space will be used for. Our prayer over that little shelter was “the word of God will not return empty, it will accomplish what God plans” Isaiah 55:11.
