This month of March has been one of the most interesting months for this ministry. As light cannot exist without darkness, joy cannot be appreciated without struggles, friendships without misunderstandings, protection and provision without despair or abuse and needs!
And surely they came. Encouragement and support in the presence of dedicated people like the many ones I got so used to meet and work with during our already gone missionary years with YWAM.
The Lake Charles team came and instilled in us their energetic pace and their dedication to serve.
They shared with our girls, feasted them with pizza and love and took them to places in Managua as in a big family joyful celebration meeting. Jason Wang, one of our dearest friends came to join them and guide them through all places visited
Then, we took them to Granada to tour the 365 little island on the Cocibolca lake shores, and after a time of ministration at the Central Park in that city to go and stay for another few days sharing and serving our children in our homes in Jinotepe
In our homes in Jinotepe, like little busy bees of love and service, they fixed doors, locks, painted the whole interior walls of our 2 homes that now look as brightly colored shining havens of love.But they also found the time to share with the children plus giving a day of rejoicing soccer tournament games, trophies, and pizza to more than 80 adolescents from the La Roca Church and the neighboring inhabitants around our homes installations.
Their faithfulness in service, their rejoicing, their energy, made me remember so many YWAMers from the times when I used to say they were holy crazies who could not hear there was an opportunity to serve in Singapore, because it has not been completed the pronunciation of “SINGA… when they were already in PORE!How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news… Isaiah 52: 7 and blessed are those who listening the voice of the Lord, asking “whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Answer… “Here I am. Send me” Send me to the nations…
Thanks, people of God! Thanks for coming and bringing encouragement, support, love and friendship.

Hi Mr. Emilio! thanks so much for posting this blog. We left Nicaragua feeling so loved and encouraged. Your country offered us so many beautiful things that we will remember for a lifetime! We're missing you all so much already! We will continue to pray that God continues to strengthen all of you and the wonderful staff. We thought we would go and help transform lives, without realizing ours were the ones transformed!! Thanks for all that the children and staff did for us! We look forward to seeing you soon!
