| Somotillo is on the border of Nicaragua & Honduras. Our friend & Nicaraguan leader/pastor had asked us several times to pray about a crusade in this area. Roberto is the most organized man I have ever met & took care of much of the footwork for us. Pastors from Chinandega came to help train those from Somotillo who hadn't worked with us before. Somehow there must have been a communication glitch as we always send our teams out separately though this year we traveled & ministered in the same areas. We'll have to get that worked out for next year. Nathan (who I loudly proclaim 'has the wisdom for our family' solved the problem...he divided our 2 teams into 3. Each team rotated to who would hold the service while the other 2 teams went in opposite directions....witnessing to every house or person we came across (even in the drinking bars) or holding services when we found a group of folks. It was incredible to do this - no one sat around lolly gagging! The folks on this team did not sit around - their whole focus was sharing JESUS CHRIST! 2407 DECISIONS FOR CHRIST! |
| The Sandwich Team |
| We ALWAYS start the day off with God's word to encourage the Nicaraguans & Americans! |
| Dwayne (Nathan's brother) preaching. |
| Nothing stops Jim (age 78) from walking long distance to share God's Word! I've been to Africa, Mexico & Nicaragua with him! He, Annabell & John asked to share in a bar where the owner turned off the jukebox. 2 accepted Christ. |
| Aaron & one of the youth sacking rice. |
| Mike giving his testimony. |
| We would take off on foot to share with those we came across. |
| The team hadn't been there 10 minutes before they started evangelizing. |
| The Breakfast Team |
| THE TEAM! |
| Giving my testimony to a school full of parents. |
| John fed the bunch of boys ice cream & an hour later Jim fed the same bunch ice cream again! |
| Daniel greeting folks. |
| These little boys (w/Reeves) showed up at the church bright & early every morning & were waiting for us when we got back. They followed us to eat, the hotel, everywhere! |
| Jim preaching. |
| Going through the outreach line. |
| Preaching in the market. |
| Our 4 youth made great friends with the Nicaraguan youth. |
| Matt & Lucas praying. |
| Just one kiss? |
| (Picture above/below) We were told we would get to preach in a stadium on the last day (you know how you just assume things?). Anyway...there is an adult ballgame going on w/spectators scattered throughout. Clouds are overhead, our men are praying...it starts to rain. We ask everyone to move over to one side (they do), we start singing & testifying. We look over & the ballplayers are leaving the field - PTL! We hit a GRAND SLAM with the opportunity to share about our Lord & Savior! |
| Arturo's prayer was answered....Annabell came! What a blessing! |
| Lucas preaching. |
| We were asking if there were any more houses on this road? |
| We would be in Nicaragua regardless, having American teams join us helps us get the WORD out to greater numbers! |
| Happy Campers sitting on the rice bags! |
| The Nicaraguans were in charge of the music. |
| The rice is bagged & waiting to be given out after the preaching. Parking our vehicles close created a wonderful space to send folks through...single file. |
