Trip Details:  We are thankful that you are prayerfully considering this trip. It is always a blessing to step out in faith and move forward with the leading of the Lord.

 

This August trip is designed for any and all people who have a heart of service and it would be a great trip for families and first time mission adventurers.  No medical or dental experience is necessary. We will be serving in the village of Villa Sandino which is about 190 km from Managua.

 

Villa Sandino, the municipality of Managua belongs to the Chontales department. The city covers an area of seven hundred and ninety seven square kilometers and as of 1995 the city bears a population of fourteen thousand seven hundred and forty three.  Before its formation the city was called as Villa Hermosa. Villa Sandino traces its origin to the ancient village of Pueblo Viejo. The current name of the city was named after the national hero Augusto C. Sandino. Villa Sandino, with a humid tropical savanna climate, is a beautiful and picturesque city having a number of cultural myths and festivities. The mind-blowing beauty of nature draws the attention of tourists who are fond of exploring the natural beauty. The city has a number of beliefs and related festivities which people celebrate with pleasure and delight.

 

The team will use its corporate gifts and talents to partner with the local evangelical churches to bring the love and compassion of Jesus to the towns peoples and advance the the gospel of Christ through the medical and dental clinic. The other ministries within the clinic will include eyeglasses, children’s ministry, home visits, and probably some community service.

 

Rolando Castillo, our in country missionary, has partnered with the local pastors who together will prepare the way for team to serve them and their communities.

 

Please join us as we will be used of the Lord in unimaginable ways and I trust your lives will never be the same. May the Lord richly bless you as you seek to honor and serve Him.
