2020 what a cool number. I can remember being a kid thinking 2020 was a lifetime away and here I am preparing for it’s arrival.
The school year for my kids will soon be coming to an end. We celebrate Thanksgiving here in the states and at the same time my kids will be celebrating the last week of school.
I was blessed to visit Nicaragua in August after a full year and 8 months had passed and needless to say my kids and families were excited to see me.
During my visit I did a census of the community as many people had moved out and others had moved in.
Additionally, I met with the additional families that should have been included in my school list from the beginning and were not because the leader of the community did not agree on the boundary lines of the community. I apologized to all of them and explained the situation and they all very just extremely grateful that I went out of my way to make sure they were now included.
Adding the new families changed the number of families from 80 to 100 and the number of people to 351. I just about had a heart attack the day I did the census and counted all those people. I remember telling God that he better get to work because I know had a lot of new kids that will need sponsors.
I have updated my website with the new kids and I still have several existing kids to add considering there are a large number of sponsors who did not return this year.
If you are a sponsor and will be sponsoring again this year please visit my website and choose the Re-Sponsor item and change the quantity for the number of kids you have.
If you are interested in adding another child you will also find all the new kids. I am missing the ages and grades for the new kids because somewhere from Nicaragua and Charlotte my list of info disappeared. I hope to get it soon and will update the site as I do.
The cost to sponsor will be $40 this year and the money will be due by Oct 31st. This date is firm because I have to wire the money to Nicaragua in time to get the discounted prices. Everything goes up the closer to Christmas you get.
If you prefer not to pay online please send a check to the address listed below.
I would ask that you pray for the kids and their families as times are extremely hard in Nicaragua since all the government issues have occurred. Prices are high, jobs are none existing and times are rougher than I have ever seen.
I have also updated my website with lots of pictures. Check out the 2018 & 2019 gallery pages which has pictures from December when the kids received their uniforms, pictures from my August trip, even pictures all all the kids in the program this year. Can you find yours?
You can view all the photos here.
Please continue to pray for me as I am still learning a lot at my new job and trying to juggle work, family and ministry can be very overwhelming at times.
I hope to return to Nicaragua during the first week of December and would love to take you with me if you would like to go. The cost will be around $1400 for everything. Please reach out if you would be interested.
Please share the links below and help me get these kids sponsored. I would hate to have to show up without uniforms for everyone in December.
