Heavenly Father, of all knowledge, wisdom and truth, we thank you for sending your only Son, Jesus, the first teacher, to teach us the way to you.
Father God, we pray for all those who are in authority in this nations’ education system. May there be a move of your grace and power among those in leadership positions. May they be brought to their knees to honor you and do what is right in your sight. We pray that even now you are working in their hearts so they can make decisions with your guidance.
Father God, we lift up to you all the institutions of learning here in Nicaragua/the universities, schools, pre schools, home schools, church schools and daycares, anywhere that learning is taking place.
LORD there are schools here with plenty, and there are schools here in need. There are schools with dirt floors and only plastic tarps for walls to protect the students and teachers from the weather. There are schools where if the children do not bring their own chair, they will have no where to sit once they arrive. Father I have seen children so physically hungry that they cannot even begin to think about learning to read and write. Father God, you have seen it too, these are your children, this is your Nation and we stand firm in our faith that you have a plan for your people here in Nicaragua. We pray for provision, that all children will have an opportunity to get an education, that you will open up the heavens and pour out your abundant blessings on our places of learning, and all who pass through them. May our schools be a safe place to be, with an atmosphere of discipline, peace and order that encourages our children to live according to Your Word. We pray that it will not stop at the schools, but be carried into the homes and passed on to build up communities who love you LORD and will advance Your Kingdom of justice, love and peace.
We pray that the teachers will have a “God perspective”, and see the students as you see them LORD. Give each teacher a renewed passion for teaching, give them strength, energy and creativity in methods and lesson plans in order to encourage each child to reach their full potential and become who you created them to be. May they be filled with Your love and patience to equip the children with spiritual discernment and moral courage as well as academic excellence so they can impact society through Christian living motivated by a heartfelt love for you.
Father God, we praise you for we are fearfully and wonderfully made. You have created us with a wonderful capacity to learn on many levels/practical, social, cultural, intellectual and spiritual, may we continue to learn throughout our lives until we arrive at the full knowledge of You.
Eph. 4v20 “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work in us, to Him be glory in our schools the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever, Amen.”
Covenant Church Managua runs a feeding program for folks 60 and over. Every Wednesday and Friday we serve about 100 meals and once a month on a Saturday we have a special celebration with them also. It is a a time for sharing God's Word, Praise and Worship and prayers throughout the outreach. As a Grandma to 5 very special angels, I am blessed share "nieto" stories with many of the Grandparents here. 
The Nicaraguan Flag flies proudly from the treetop.
What a shame to cut such a beautiful cake. It was delicious though, and it was divinely multiplied, enough for more than 100 people!
This is the humble kitchen where the food is prepared. One day we hope to have a Center for the elderly/Ancianos Coronados, where we can provide a hot meal for them every day and enjoy other fellowship activities too like games, hairdressing, manicures, and all that good funstuff!
