Nicaragua Mission Update

This week has flown by and we have now said our good-byes to the precious children and wonderful Pearl Foundation staff we’ve been privileged to serve with. Bags are being packed as we prepare to be picked up to head to the airport at 3 am.

Each night our team gathers to reflect on the day and share how each of us have seen God show up and let me tell you, HE has shown up mightily this week. We’ve witnessed the precious prayers of children, felt their sweaty but sincere tight hugs, saw the excitement as it was shared that they have been matched with a sponsor who will be praying and communicating with them as well as making a financial contribution, sang songs, played ball, done crafts, fed many, many meals, shopped to meet some immediate physical needs and visited families at their homes. We’ve had special prayer for a sick baby needing testing and medical follow up. We’ve prayed for young parents as they seek to meet the needs of their young children. What a privilege to serve his people this week and we give thanks to you, VGMC, for allowing us this opportunity do for the least of these, in His name. One more request please. As we wake in a few hours and head to Managua, pray that God continues to make our path smooth, flight connections easy, and that we continue to reflect His love in each interaction.
