Honduras and Nicaragua

In 2009, I was privileged to lavish the gift of God's love on the poor, needy, orphaned and forgotten of Nicaragua. We ministered to communities of people who live inside the municipal garbage dumps and surrounding communities of Managua and Bluefields. Reaching out in compassion, beckoning the lost to experience the power of The Cross and enter into the Joy of the Lord. We shared the Kingdom Celebration as we ministered salvation in the streets of Nicaragua with Praise Parades, Worship, Dancing, and Supernatural Feeding Crusades. It was so much fun releasing the goodness of God!!

One of the places that we ministered was La Chureca. La Chureca is a slang term for the city trash dump in Managua, Nicaragua, referring to a community of people who live and work there, "sifting" or "filtering" through the garbage daily. La Chureca is the municipal domestic and industrial waste disposal site in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. It is the largest open air dumpster in Central America. Out of the approximately 1,000 persons who reside at the dump, 50% are children under age 18. These children and families work at La Chureca sorting through the waste. Approximately 115 to 180 families live in La Chureca. There is always a thick cloud of smoke that covers the area, increasing with the heat of the day with vultures soaring above the infinite layers of garbage.

As a part of our training at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry we get to take a mission trip! I’m excited to be partnering with the same ministry and returning to the same region! I will be part of a team of 45 students that are taking the love of Jesus to the trash dumps of Honduras and Nicaragua, where the riches of our loving Father, are poured out like honey on the heads of those in the greatest of need. It’s going to be an Isaiah 61 time. We will be feeding the hungry, loving the unloved, and healing the broken. Most of the ministry on this trip will take place in the Trash Dumps, where we will feed those who live and make their money from sorting through mountains of garbage. As well as staying at an orphanage where we get to party with the niño’s (kids) every night. We will be building on the foundation of relationship developed over years of connection to help bring transformation to these beautiful nations. Please be in pray for this trip. The trip date is March 24^th thru April 7^th.  

The total cost of the trip is $2,400. Thank you to those of have already contributed! I’ve raised $700 so far, the remaining 1,700 is due by February 21, 2012.
