Flooding in Managua.

Torrential rainstorms last Thursday afternoon took the life of 15 year old Ana Gabriela. Daughter of one of our staff members here at NCA, Ana Gabriela drowned as she was trying to cross a flooded bridge on the way home from school. I went to the wake Thursday night. There were so many people there, both from NCA and the local community, bringing words of encouragment and comfort to the family. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. LORD we lift this family up to you in the power of prayer. Thank you for your unfailing love.



Getting around town today, Saturday, was slow. The devastation from the fierce rains is evident all around. Walls have collapsed all over town, and many homes have been destroyed in the floods. Roads are blocked with fallen power lines, Managua is a mess! Please lift up all the families who have suffered terrible losses due to this dreadful weather, and also pray for protection and the peace that passes all understanding in the midst of all this. Thank you Father for your mercy and grace.

Beach Babies!

When I'm not at NCA, you will probably find me up in El Crucero visiting the babies. Last weekend we took them to the beach for the day. They loved it! Then we went to church on Sunday and to Pizza Hut for lunch afterwards! At four years old, Ofelia is now walking!!!! She took her first steps last week. !! They are all so much more interactive, with lots of smiles that warm your heart. When they first arrived, they would not even look you in the eye. God you are amazing. Thank you that we can be co-laborers with you! Go God!

NCA/Nicaragu Christian Academy.

The first 2 weeks of school went well. I have thorougly enjoyed getting to know the students and have been blessed to be able to do some after school tutoring also. There is an atmosphere of peace and calm on campus as we invite The LORD to be with us in all we do. Thank you LORD for bringing me here at this time :)

my visit to El Crucero

Saturday August 7th: I went up to El Crucero to spend the weekend with the new babies from the Atlantic Coast. Many of you have been praying faithfully for their health. They were all in hospital at one point. Thank you God that they are all safely back home now. Allow me to introduce them to you: Yelka, Emily, Frankie, Leo and Ofelia.



Hugs and kisses and God Bless you all!! You are precious in His sight!

John 14:18
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

Back to school!

Greetings!

I have spent the last couple of weeks preparing to start a new school year at NCA/Nicaragua Christian Academy as Lower Elementary Teacher's Assistant. It has been a little overwhelming at times, but well worth all the time and effort. We had our open house last night and I enjoyed meeting the parents and students. Some were old friends, and some I was meeting for the first time. This is a new begining. I can hardly wait to see what God has planned for the next semester and on from there.

Back to school for the students starts on Monday, I look forward to being in the classroom again and working with the children in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades. Roll on Monday! Go God!!! I'm with you!

Coming soon..... watch this space for pictures and updates on the children in El Crucero. I am heading up to visit them now :)

God Bless, thank you for your continued prayers. Love ya xxxx
