We had a grand time with Pastor Felix & Omar traveling through Alabama, Georgia & TN visiting churchs & teams going to Nicaragua.  The weather worked well for us, although it was very cold for them coming from 110 degree weather. 

ISBC sent a team of  "5 seasoned men" to Nicaragua to construct a new dormitory, bathrooms & more room for Omar & family in their team house in Chinandega. 

Only the LORD Himself could have sent me here - and He did in January.  Pastor Roc, Youth Minister Mark Estepp and Jim Carson led the Pastors from many different areas up & down river in various studies.  My privilege was to teach the women, mostly Pastor's wives, in Methods of Inductive Bible Study & Homiletics.  These women sat for 2 1/2 days on old, old picnic tables.  We went from English to Spanish to Meskito; took me about a 1/2 day to learn to how to do this.  Keith, of course, took care of all the logistics & did an excellent job, if I say so myself.  The LORD is certainly multiplying the seeds sown.

Keith, Jim & Omar's fact-finding trip to Waspam, Nicaragua was 'very interesting' - they met with a Mesquite Baptist Church Pastor and congregation and their rendition of 'Onward Christian Soldiers' was something to hear that spoke from their heart language to anyone else who had the same Spirit withing their heart! Wish I could have been there, but no room on the plane. Enjoy the slideshow.

 To my left is Bethany, who did translating for me in teaching the ladies.  She did a great job and I learned much from her.  She works with CrossPoint Ministries in Chinandega, where she lives.  To my right is Madison; her & her husband, Evan, live and work in Corinto with Primera Bautista de Corinto.  They were a delight to work with and helped us much on the house.  Madison attended the Bible Studies and I really enjoyed talking with her. 

 The men did electrical work for the Pastor's home and also did much painting inside and out.

 This is Juana, from Corinto.  One of the Sunday School classes from ISBC supports her in the school there for her uniform & books & tuition.  It is a Christian School at Primera Bautista de Corinto.  Juana has another sister who is 15 and attends the school.  She travels a good distance every day to school on her bicycle.
