Home Safe!
Well the entire team of 30 people all made their connections out of Nicaragua. Eighteen people came through Houston and twelve came through Miami. We thank you all for your prayers. The stories of what God accomplished are truly amazing. We’ll put up pictures and some of the stories here (http://catalystmissions.org/nic-01-09.php) as soon as we can.
God's Amazing work.
The team working with the pastors’ wives had thirty-three ladies in attendance today. It was a tremendous priviledge to see and hear the ladies soaking up the Word. They asked many specific questions during practical lessons. The team working at Salinas Garande had about 60 children they worked with. The Bible story and memory verses focused on the grace of God. Seven children accepted...
Another day, blessed by God.
Praise God for another amazing day. Today the agriculture team was able to install the irrigation system on the first field. Praise God! It is very exciting to see the partnership of so many people, including the donors and prayer partners nearing completion. Tomorrow they plan to run the pump and test the system. They also had about a dozen pastors show up again today for Bible teaching and...
Day two.
This morning the agricultural team headed out to check on a field that they hope to work at. After everyone had breakfast we all climbed aboard the vans and bus and headed west toward Salinas Grandes. Meanwhile, the agricultural team headed off to Leon to pickup the last supplies that they determined they needed to complete the development of the fields. Twenty pastor’s wives attended the...
First Day
The team had a good nights rest in Masaya and a good team meeting and worship time this morning. At 11am we piled into the vehicles and drove to to the Chosen Children base just south of Leon. After unloading and a bite of lunch we headed out to look over the locations where we will be doing ministry. The team is in great spirits and plans for how we’ll execute our agenda are solidifying....
Safe Arrival for All!
Praise God! The entire team arrived safe and sound in Nicaragua! We’ve cleared Immigration, collected all our bags and made it through Customs. Now, after a little drive to the Masaya base, a bite to eat and a few quick announcements we’re all headed for bed. 12:17am 1/4/09
Awaiting final flight departure.
Praise God! All the team members have arrived at their final domestic departure points. Twelve of us await departure from Miami while seventeen have boarded in Houston. It is miracle that God got all of us together with so many people coming from so many places. Many of us are tired after starting the day about 2am, and a small hiccup waiting on the flight crew will make it a late night. However,...
One Day to Go
There is just a day to go before the team will begin their journey. God has marvelously provided for the team members. I’ve already heard some wonderful stories of His moving hearts to provide for the team. Keep praying! Not only for the team, but also for their families, financial and prayer supporters, and the churches and friends that are also part of this wonderful trip which is designed...
