Preparing to Leave

On Thursday I will leave for Nicaragua with 3 other people from Charlotte and I will meet 30 more people in Managua. I am blessed to work for Ambassadors To The Nations who have been working in Nicaragua since 1992. It is an honor to not only serve the Lord with missions on my own but to partner with such a great organization and have that as my JOB every day also.

On the 13th I will leave then and meet Gwen Emmett at the airport and together we will head to Somotillo to bless a lot of people.

In January I sent tons of boxes by container to bless the kids and young adults. I can't wait to visit each home and hand them out. This will be the first time they will receive care boxes from the US. No every family was able to participate but through the blessings of Ambassadors every child will get a nice box.

I need the prayer warriors of this group to start praying now for me and this trip. My health is still an issue and the ability to eat healthy in Nicaragua is not convenient. Pray I find solutions to accommodate my strict diet. Additionally, pray for good weather, a unity among out teams and that the hearts of all the people we will minister to are open and ready to hear the Good News. Please also pray for my family as I am leaving Terry for 13 days with 3 kids and a business to run. I am so grateful I have a wonderful supportive husband.

I am excited to say I am only $300 short of being able to purchase the motorcycle for Pastor Arturo and I have raised enough money to purchase more than 30 chairs for the church and hopefully a podium for Pastor Arturo's bible. I just love blessing this man of God who sacrifices so much to bless my little community.

If you would still like to contribute toward any of the needs I sent out before there is still time. Just let me know.

I appreciate the prayers and I can't wait to give you a great report on what God's plans turn out to be.

Blessings,

Angie

I need you to P.U.S.H.

Pray Until Something Happens.. I personally believe that God's word clearly tells us to Ask, Believing and You SHALL Receive so I pray once and the rest of the time I pray thanking Him for answering my first prayer. That's what I ask of you to do for me as well.  Here's what I need.

1. I have been struggling for years with different symptoms in my body and have always thought it was an under active thyroid. Two of my aunts have one and I have all the symptoms they have had. My blood work comes back fine but yet I have all the signs so doctors just say I'm ok. I went to a wellness doctor who feels 110% that I have it and along with other tests he ran feels certain if I don't change my eating habits and my stress levels that I will be over 300 lbs in two years. (I gained 25 lbs in 45 days).  My insurance will not pay for him to treat me so on March 26th I have an appointment to see an Endocronlogist to see if they agree with is diagnoses and give me meds that are not synthetic. Insurance will pay to see this doctor. Pray with me that this doctor will not look at my blood work but look at all the symptoms I have struggled with for years. The wellness doctor has told me I can not eat any sugar, carbs or bread and so for two weeks I have pretty much ate meat, salad and eggs. My body is going through detox and I have the energy of a dead log and feel pretty horrible most days. I leave for Nicaragua on March 7th. I need my energy back. I believe I am healed by the stripes of Jesus and I expect these symptoms to go away, until they do pray I have the strength to endure and this doctor will have the wisdom needed to take me down the right direction. Lord, I thank you for perfect healing...

2. I am in need of finding more opportunities to share what God is doing in Nicaragua. I need more churches and people to get involved. My resources are limited now that I lost my part-time job last August but the needs never slow down. Please pray that I will see the doors that God will open for me and I will walk through them. He promises in Rev. 3:7 that He will open doors that no man can shut. I'm looking for those doors now. Lord thank you for the open doors you have for me and for the new opportunities to tell more people about your plans for my little community in Nicaragua.

3. I need to raise $1500 to purchase a motorcycle for Pastor Arturo. He is so faithful to minister to the people in Ceibita but it is huge sacrifice and struggle for him to go there. A motorcycle would change his life. It's tax season so I am believing God that someone I know who got a large amount back would feel led to sow into this Pastor and help me bless him. Lord thank you for the people in my life and the people who have an abundance and can bless this Pastor. Thank you for Pastor Arturo's love for the people of Ceibita and for his faithfulness. Thank for you allowing me to be a part of your plan for him and for the provision to buy him a motorcycle.

4. The house that's being built for Antonio is at a stopping point because I need to raise $800 to fix his bathroom and kitchen area and connect him to the water system. He and his family are having to live in a very small house with his parents right now. I am looking for families to host a jewelry party for me so I can raise that $800. If you would be interested in hosting a party at your home please let me know. Every dime counts right now. Please pray for opportunities for me to sell the jewelry I have. Lord thank you for being faithful and taking care of your children. Antonio and his family are your children and they love you and desire to have their own home. Thank you for my home and for the home Antonio will soon live in. I know that You will bless me with the money to help him get moved into his house.

5.  Last September I got a letter from the IRS temporary terminated my non-profit status until I could correct a problem that was found. I have corrected it and sent the paperwork and paid the penalty. Please pray they will hurry up and reinstate it. It's frustrating waiting on them. Pray it lands on the desk of a believer who pushes it through the red tape process. I've waited a long time. They say it can take up to 6-8 months.  Lord, I thank you for a speedy solution to this problem.

So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.

Matt. 7:11

You can pray for anything and if you have faith you will receive it.

Matt. 21:22

Will you pray with me and watch God supply?

December Trip Updated - Reposted

I am having blog problems today so if you have gotten this multiple times I am very sorry. Finally I found time to update you on my December trip but first I have to apologize that I don't have a lot of  pictures for you. A few weeks ago while I was working on a presentation for my church my hard drive crashed and I lost all my Nicaragua pictures from 2009 until now. I was and am devastated at this lost. The drive is currently at a repair place and they are estimating $510 to fix it. If they can it will be worth every dime but for now I only know they looking at it.

The trip in December was awesome as usual. My Pastors wife and I blessed a lot of kids and a lot of family members.

I don't have pictures of all the kids receiving their food and uniforms but I have some. In the pictures you will see some of the kids with two large black bags. One bag is their uniforms, school supplies and shoes and the other bag is food.  Click here to view those pictures.

We also blessed both communities with their favorite foods. Ceibita received a rice dish that comes with chicken in it and some vegetables and Pala Grande wanted fried chicken, rice and salad. We played games with both communities and just enjoyed the day. Click here to view those pictures.

One of the best moments for me was to drive up and see the first structure of a church. Someone purchased the land for the community and the local church paid for the metal structure to be built. Now all we need are the walls, doors and windows. We are trusting God for resources to purchase the much needed materials to complete this church. It will truly be a dream come true for me. Here's a picture of the structure.

Most of you will remember my driver Antonio who I have been trying to bless with a new house for some time now. He and his brother are building his house to cut the labor cost down which is a huge blessing. I need to raise an additional 2,000 to finish the house and $800 of that for him to be able to move in now.  I am thanking God now that He will provide soon for the remaining amount. Click here to view those pictures. The pig is his neighbor who thinks he lives at the front of his house.

If you would like to see how people live in this community check out the pictures of one of the houses in Ceibita. This is a typical house. It's a mud house made from a little mud, a little cement and straw. It attacks every spider you can imagine and is like living in a cellar. Rainy season is horrible for them because it's moldy and stinks when the mud gets wet not to mention how the structure gets weaker and weaker over time. The family who owns the second house you will see will be getting a new home soon thanks to my Pastor and his wife who are the sponsors of the two kids who live in it. We are so blessed to live in homes that don't leak rivers and spiders don't eat insects off the wall all day and night. Click here to view those pictures.

On a current note:

Two weeks ago I was blessed to put tons of things on a container and send it to Nicaragua. Tickets are purchased and in March I will go and see my kids again. This trip I will be having a birthday party for all the kids with cake, decorations, pinata's, games and music and most important presents for every child.  This will be the first party any of these kids have ever had. I can't wait to make it special for them. In addition to gifts for the kids I will be able to bless the orphanage with a new freezer and many great things to help them.  Looking forward to ministering to many people in March.

I can't believe it's already February 2013. I can't wait to see what God has planned for this year. Every year He continues to amaze me.

Prayer Needs: There are some specific things I need right now. Thank you in advance for seeking God on our behalf.

1. I have several students who want to go to college that I still don't have sponsors for.

2. Provision to finish Antonio's House.

3. Provision to finish the church walls

4. $1600 to buy Pastor Arturo a motorcycle.

5. Partners willing to sow on a monthly basis and churches I can speak at

As always thanks to each of you for sowing into my life this past year and I know God has great plans for 2013.

The kids has a great time receiving their school packages and their gifts for Christmas. I have gotten word from the orphanage that they too were very happy with their new clothes, shoes and toys for Christmas.

The Lord has opened a door for me to send items to Nicaragua on a container this January and I am still in need of some items. Could you please check your "junk" and see if they can become my "treasures". If so I need them by January 11th and no a day later. (Have to get things loaded that weekend).

1. Stainless Steel pots and pans for the Orphanage.

2. Reel Lawn movers, the kind you push and have no engine. (Thanks Alan for the one I have already)

3. Adult Small or Medium boys/men's shirts (new or very very close to new) (Can no longer send anything used through a container)

4. Plastic store containers with lids. (any sizes)

5.  Spanish Bibles

6.  Tarps ( the blue kind) large sizes preferred

7. Kids Rated G or PG Spanish DVD movies (must have Spanish Language written on them, not subtitles) new or used

8. Small Deep Freezer.

9. 2 Digital Cameras

10. Money to buy these things. (If you would like to buy any of these things just contact me for more info)

If you have any of these items and are willing to donate them just let me know and we will work on getting together to get them.

For all the Operation Education parents if you are planning on sending your child a care package I need it by January 11th. I have letters I am working on sending out to you from your kids. Please send one back to them if possible but make sure it is translated in Spanish. You can use Google Translate.

Thanks so much for all the prayers and support in 2012. We accomplished a lot for the Kingdom of God you should be proud, I know God is. Can't wait to see what He is going to do this year...

More to come..

The bags of uniforms waiting to be distributed.

December 2012 Trip

We have been in Nicaragua for three days already.. Time is going so fast this trip. We visited the community of Ceibita today and blessed the community with a traditional meal. It will be for most the only meat they will get until I feed them again.

We also played some fun games with the kids and even had a couple of clowns tell them an awesome story.

I have sponsored several baseball teams in the years and I have never been here when one is playing until today.  They even won their game with a tie breaking slide into home for the finish. It was awesome!!!!

Tomorrow we will distribute the Operation Education kids with their uniforms and back packs along with school supplies. We will also be giving out 100 pair of new shoes, t-shirts, and candy.

On Tuesday we will bless the community of Pala Grande with the same items as Ceibita and at night we will bless them with ice cream and a movie.. Can't wait..

On Wednesday our day will be consumed by the orphanage. I personally can't wait for this one because I have some nice things for them. They are struggling right now and need some encouragement..they are going to love their new DVD player. Thanks so much Kim..

Thursday will be a rest day and tourist day to show my Pastor's wife around Managua.

Friday we will head home.

Please cover us in prayer as we minister to these kids. Today we prayed for a teenager named Acner who has what looks like a tumor on his neck. He goes to the hospital in the morning to get the results of the biopsy. We commanded that lump to go and we expect it to obey. Agree with us that God is the only doctor he will ever need to see.

The  sole reason we are here  is to show these people how much God loves them. Pray this week they will see Jesus through us.

Blessings to all...

Angie
