This May, Jerry, Grace and Abundant Life Academy students will have an exciting opportunity...to join Missions Beyond Borders on a trip to Nicaragua! We will be doing the following ministries:
Bluebird House takes care of over seventy five disabled children who have been abandoned by their families. The facility not only acts a loving home for these children, but provides education and medical attention including physical therapy. While there, the ALA students will interact with the children, performing skits and painting Biblical murals to brighten up their surroundings.
Feeding the Children Most of the children in the barrios of Managua subsist on one meal a day. The ALA students will partner with missionary Lincoln Wright who has provided sustenance to hundreds of children, both physically and spiritually. Lincoln provides breakfast for the students and an after school Bible study once a week divided by age group.
Prison Ministry
In addition to his above ministries, Lincoln Wright goes into the prisons each Saturday and holds a worship session and Bible study. The prisoners are only allotted one small meal a day and rely on friends and family to bring them further assistance. The ALA students will be able to share their faith and help out practically by painting an outside chapel the prison utilizes for services.
Cancer Hospital Children undergoing cancer treatment at the local hospital are unable to receive round the clock care and as such one family member stays with them at all times. The difference between the level of care they receive in Nicaragua in comparison with the United States is staggering. By praying and spending time with the patients and their families the ALA students will serve as a beacon of hope.
Medical Missions team Over the past two years, skilled doctors and nurses have attended the Nicaragua missions trip in order to distribute medical supplies and assistance to Calvary Chapel Santa Ana.
Pastor Raul, "It is amazing to see the impact these trips will have on individuals who are taken out of their comfort zones, unplugged from their normal daily lives and placed within a third world country. There is a reward that comes from being able to share our faith and encourage others."
Missions Beyond Borders works closely with Pastor Cal Stuebner of Calvary Chapel Managua as well as Lincoln Wright who has been a missionary to Nicaragua for a decade and feeds over 300 children weekly!
