Nicaragua: When God Steps In

Upon arrival in Nicaragua we saw a tent city made of poles and tarp The reisdents cooked outside over small fires and their hammocks hung inside. The pastor explained that he had been working with these people and would like to take the to the meetings.

Although funds had been given for the evangelistic campaign, his particular campaign site was unique. It was held outdoors under a tin roof inside the compound of a catholic school. This space had to be rented as well as all the chairs as this campaign would hopefully plant a church.


The adults and teens got together and prayed about this new situation












and decided to take up a collection to pay for an additional bus to pick up some of these tent people who were already receptive to the gospel.











The night arrived and people piled into the buses in record numbers.












Upon arriving at the site they were greeted by sharply dressed Pathfinders and made to feel welcome.













The young preachers at this site were just 14 and

















15 years old, along with their 19 year old translator.










Night after night they preached to a crowd of about 150 people. At the end, God blessed with over 65 baptisms!

The question now remains, "When are you going to help plant a church? If kids can do it, so can you with God's help. www.sharehim.org
