informalhigh, high as a kite, fired up, aflutter, psyched

None of these words describe how I feel about my upcoming trip to Nicaragua. I'm not sure there is a word that can describe it.

As of today we have 10 couples who will be getting married. 10 families lives will be changed that day. Children will get the opportunity to see their dads do what is right by their mom's. What a great example they are showing their kids. Most of the men who are getting married are a part of the recent salvation's I have seen in the community. I am so excited to see fruits of our labor in this community. Two of the couples are very special to me so that makes it even more exciting.

We are planning a beautiful wedding. We will be making wedding veils for the brides, providing silk wedding bouquets, there will be at least 10 wedding cakes and much more. It will be beautiful.

There is still time for you to get involved in this if God is tugging your heart. The final budget has not been given to me yet but I know for sure it is going to run around $700 which will include the marriage licensees for each couple.  If you feel led to contribute to this need just let me know.

In addition to the wedding we are going to have a celebration for the upcoming graduates. I will be able to see them graduate for the first time. There will be two promotions that day. The first one will be for the kids moving into high school and the second one will be for those finishing.

If you are aware that one of your kids is graduating and you would like to bless them with something special please let me know. It is my plan to buy a God's Promises Book for each student.

I have good news about Pastor Arturo's son. He is out of the hospital now and doctors say he will make a full recovery. This says a lot about prayer when he was on the brink of death. He was on a ventilator the last time I wrote about him. God is great and He is faithful.

If you plan on sending a letter/card to your child I will need it by December 3rd. Remember to send it in Spanish if at all possible.  If you would like to bless your child's family for Christmas you can send me any dollar amount you desire by December 3rd also. Please let me know if you want your families to receive the full amount or if you want the money to go toward a large bag of food for them. I can feed a family of 4 for around $20 for 45 days.

If you do not currently sponsor a child and would like to contribute to the wedding or toward food for the community that would be a blessing.

I see so much fruit from this community right now that I am going with great expectations. Please be in prayer for our team as we prepare to minister to these people. There are still over 100 people who still need Jesus. I hope to encourage them with the Word especially after the death of the young man recently.

As always thanks so much for all the prayers and support. They are both of great importance to me. Together we are adding to the kingdom one person at a time.

God Bless,

October 2014 Newsletter

Operation Education I am happy to announce that all the Operation Education kids were sponsored!!!! Praise God. I am so blessed to be a part of helping these kids go to school and I want you to know it is impossible for me to do this without your support.

Other than finding sponsors for the kids things have been a quite.

If you are one of my sponsors and have not paid your sponsorship please remember it is due by this Wednesday, October 15th. Please try to pay on-time. I have to wire the money as soon as possible to purchased the uniforms.

December Trip - December 9-17th

I am planning the December trip and happy to announce we are having a WEDDING!!!! As of today there are at least 5 couples and we are hoping for at least 10. These families can not afford to marry so they live together. Many of these couples have recently accepted Christ and now want to make things right. I am so excited for them. We plan on making it a beautiful wedding with food, cakes and lots of decorations. I can't wait to be a part of this wonderful moment.

In order to make this happen I am looking for sponsors who would like to bless these couples.

It will cost $25 per couple for just the marriage license, the food for all the guest and the wedding cakes will run around $300 and about another $100 for 200 chairs, wedding bouquets and other items so I am believing God for $700.

If you would like to be a part of this awesome event please either donate online or send in your donation before November 15th. If you are married can you imagine living with your spouse for 10 years or more and not be married simply because you can not afford $25.

I can't wait to come home with pictures. My husband, the best photographer I know is going with me this year. I will have beautiful pictures to share when I get back. I'm so excited...

If you would like to join me on this trip please contact me as soon as possible for more details.

Prayer Needs

Pastor Arturo has asked for prayer for his family. Two weeks ago his son was in a horrible accident and was on a ventilator in a Costa Rican hospital. He is doing better today but I do not have a lot of details. Pastor Arturo has gone to see him. I hope to know more soon. For now, pray for a speedy recovery and no lasting issues.

The rain still has not shown up. It has rained some but by this time of the year they are getting rain for hours a day but right now they barely get some each day. A lack of corn is still an issue and very little work. I am planning on sending money for food to help out but will now have to wait for Pastor Arturo to return. God's timing is perfect so I know the blessing will be right on time for when the families need it the most. Please pray for their spirits to be lifted during this very trying time and for provision in all areas of their lives.

In addition to prayers for Pastor Arturo and his family please pray for my family and the members of the December team, Sara, Tiffany and my husband Terry as we plan for our time to minister in the community. It will be the first time back since the young man was killed so I hope God will turn this horrible tragedy and turn it into an opportunity to tell them how important it is to know your future.

As always thanks so much for being a huge blessing to me and this community. God is doing great things there and I can't wait to see what he has planned.

God Bless all of you,

Angie

August Mission Trip Pictures - Updated

Apparently the first blog post was missing the link to the pictures. Let's try this again.

I went online to view one of the pictures from my August trip and found I had never posted them. Not sure how I missed that one but I did and now I have added them for you to see.

I mentioned in a previous post all the great things our team (Logan, Kylie, Mattison, Steve, David and I) got to do while were were there but I'll give you a quick overview.

1. We gathered all the kids and took their updated pictures for Operation Education 2015. During that time we blessed them with new toys and candy of course. We also had a movie night with them and of course had icecream. (12 gallons of it)

2. We blessed the boys of the community with soccer shirts donated by Castanea Presbyterian Church. Kids from 5 to adults received them and loved them. Thanks Lisa..

3. We blessed the teen boys with cologne and sunglasses and all of them were excited to receive that because cologne there is very expensive and not something they would ever buy themselves.

4. We blessed the soccer team and baseball team with water bottles and new bats and balls.

5. We blessed the woman and teen girls with fingernail polish and head bands for their hair.

6. We blessed the 60 families with 20lbs of rice and 10lbs of beans. Enough food to last them over a month.

7. We had a great church service, many were prayed for and encouraged. At the end they song a birthday blessing song to me and all 150+ people gave me a hug. Here's a link to a video of it. The white stuff they are putting in my hair is talcum powder. It represents health and wisdom.

8. We visited the orphange and played with the kids. One of our team members blessed the orphanage director with a good study book by Andrew Wommack. He also blessed a young girl in the community with a new (very nice) bible.

9. At the end of the week we stopped by the ocean to see a glimpse of God's beauty. A sunset over the ocean.

It was a short trip because I had been there 8 days already but the time we had was powerful and many people were blessed. Thanks to all who blessed me on this trip so that I could be a blessing to others.

Here's the link to the pictures. (Some of them were not very good, sorry) If you sent a gift for your sponsored child there will be a picture of them receiving it.

* First email the link did not publish. Here it is again.

September Newsletter

Since I returned from Nicaragua in August things have been very busy in my personal life and quite in my communities life. The country of Nicaragua is still in a severe drought and I am working with Pastor Arturo to determine when is the best time to help them with food. I have been blessed by sponsors with additional funds to send him for food. Please continue to pray for these families who have lost all or almost all of their corn crops. Many people are out of work and beans are still very expensive. Not having beans in their diet means there is no protein. Eating only rice is good because they have food but not good for their strength. The men in the community that do have jobs work hard labor jobs so I can't imagine how tired they must feel at the end of the day.

Operation Education 2015 is starting off slow. I still have over 30 students who need sponsors. Would you be willing to share this program with your friends?  I have over 100 kids and thanks to the repeat sponsors I only have the remaining 32 to find sponsors for. The deadline is October 15th.  It will be here before we know it so any help you can give me to find sponsors would be greatly appreciated.

The cost to sponsor is only $35. This provides a full uniform including pants/skirts, shirt, socks, shoes, backpack and school supplies.

Do you attend a Sunday school class, prayer group or homeschool group? This is a great opportunity to get others involved in Missions.

To sponsor a child all you need to do is;

1. Select your child from the website. http://www.thepowerofoneministry.org/?page_id=149

2. Either pay online using your credit card or send me a check.  (If sending a check please email me with the name of the child as soon as possible so I can mark them sponsored)

God always provides and I know He has sponsors for these kids. Please lift them up in prayer as well as all the families in the community.

God Bless each of you,
