Day 3 in the communities

"Wait...we are leaving the communities early tomorrow?? Todd, seriously, I'll give up my free day to be in the communities one more day!!" said a student very concerned and yet filled with passion.

It has been an absolute joy to serve along side these students and volunteers. During mission team training we learned what FH's definition of poor is: relationships that are broken. It has been incredible to be a part of an experience that has allowed students and volunteers to grasp the concept of how God desires a perfect relationship with His people and between His people.

Each night we have shared our "God-sightings" and my (Todd) God-sighting almost each day is when I have witnessed students leading other people in their area of giftedness. We have students leading in face painting, games, crafts, dancing, jewelry making and Bible lessons. The time spent in Nicaragua has been a constant reminder of what the Body of Christ should be--people coming together each using their own gifts for the glory, edification, and expansion of The Kingdom.

Today, we wrap up our construction projects followed by an art fair to which those children who have participated in the daily VBS will display their art projects. We will leave the worksite early in order to travel back to Managua before sunset.

Again, we thank you for your continual prayers and support throughout our journey--God is not finished with us yet.
