Awesome God!

The YWAM Outreach training ended May 18th and the last of the team left on Thursday night. WOW! What a radical, fun, challenging God adventure!! We travelled around Nicaragua and worked with several different ministries as well as local communities and got a great firsthand experience of many of the awesome works that God is doing here.

Praise God that Jo jo and Japheth were able to leave Managua last week to travel back to the Atlantic Coast to be reunited with their family. Just in time to celebrate his 1st birthday at home! What an amazing recovery, and a living testimony to God's healing power.

The YWAM girls and I learn how to make tortillas, outside, Nican style.

Visiting dear friends in the community of Los Cedros.

We visited two schools in Nejapa and shared the story of Noah. We talked about God's unconditional love for us and His perfect plan for each one of our lives. Through hearing The Word, one of the teachers accepted Jesus as her Savior! AND the Pastor we were working with that week was invited to return and give weekly bible study classes . Hallelujah and Amen!!!! Thank you LORD for allowing us to be even a small part in your amazing plans. "And how can they believe without hearing? And how can they hear unless someone tells them?" Romans 10 v14

We did a Kid's Camp" for about 80 children 3 afternoons in a row. Many of them wanted to come back to the church on Sundays and bring their family's. Thank you LORD that: "He who began a good work in you will carry it through to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1v6

We helped with a feeding program at the city dump, La Chureca, and stayed to play with some of the children afterwards.

YWAM girls, I will miss you! Thanks for coming here and doing life with us! You're the best!

Japheth released from hospital :)

Celebrating the success of the final skin graft. Amazing God!
Oh and I forgot to tell you I have the honor of being called "Abuelita blancita" (The white Grandmother.)

Baby Japheth was finally released from hospital last week! Hooray! He was admitted with his Mother April 8th and had several emergency plastic surgeries on his leg. He is recovering well at a friend's house and will stay in Managua for at least 15 days so they can go for a follow up checkup. Praying they can return to the Atlantic coast to their family soon. Thank you LORD for your provision, healing and protection. You are good ALL the time!

Starting early with The Word: Japheth "reading" my Bible :)
