2 Behind, 3 Ahead
July 2, 2011
The
summer is really just getting started yet we have already completed two
events in Managua, Nicaragua. The next team arrive
d yesterday
(Saturday) and we went directly to the next venue - Bethany Baptist
Church in Ciudad Sandino on the western edge of Managua.
This
will be our first time to work with this church, but we have had some
of their folks on our teams (Juan, our keyboard player and sometimes
translator and Joshua and Gabriela who worked with us on the recent
medical team).
So,
we feel right at home in this new place. Of course it isall be
new to the team that just arrived.
After
this week's event there are still two more to go before we wrap up
another summer in Nicaragua. Keep praying for us and our teams as
we carry the gospel to hundreds of children, teens and adults in the
coming weeks.

Our Report Thus Far
The team from Normandale Baptist Church in far western
Fort Worth joined us for a great week at one of our favorite
churches, Hermon Baptist Church in eastern Managua. Pastor
Armando and his church team were wonderful hosts and we saw more than
40 teenagers and adults come to the Lord.
with the arrival of a different team, we then shifted
our focus to the campus of University of Managua (U de M) where we
used the eight daily Practically Speaking English classes to see
another 40 adults invite Jesus into their lives. Retta Baptist
Church in Burleson, Texas sent a wonderful couple to be with us
during this week of special focus. They were excellent ministry
partners and they encouraged us tremendously.
The photos from the U de M event have been published,
but I am still working on the photos from the Hermon event, so be
patient.
