Hey
Immersion team!
I'm
so excited to share some ministry details with you about your time in
Nicaragua! You guys will be in Jinotepe working with a ministry called New Song Nicaragua. Glenn & Lynne Schweitzer are the founders of this
ministry and they are an amazing couple who have a heart for the people
(especially the youth) of Nicaragua.
They have a tent making business (hotel owners) in Jinotepe that is
typically used to house visiting missions teams. They have created a whole minstry compound in
the neighboring slum community that focuses on the families who call the local
dump home. The compound now houses a
pastor and youth leader. It leads a growing preschool program, feeding program,
and continous outreach efforts. The
community in the dumps is a primary focus.
Past World Race teams actually helped start their feeding program.
The vision of their ministry is:
• To rescue lost
souls through preaching the powerful message of the gospel.
• To construct
children's feeding centers and orphanages.
• To
Provide Christian schools including vocational and providing theological
studies for the preparation of missionaries, seminary students or individuals
seeking a better knowledge of the Word of God.
You will receive a cultural orientation from the Schweitzers
once you arrive.
As always, let me know if you have any questions!
