Pastor Nelson and Karen: They were prepared a few weeks prior to this to move into the Pastoral house at the property of the new church in Villa Espana. Then the house was broken into the week prior. There are bars on all the windows and doors. There is also a section of the wall that is comprised of a brick, then a space, then a brick, covering a large section of the wall, to let fresh air in the house. The bad folks just knocked the bricks out and stole what little was in the house.

At the time Nelson was preaching in another village and was really upset when he found out. So in American lexicon he was either going to get his gun or his Bible. Since guns are not allowed in Nica, the Bible was his weapon. He found the person who knew who entered the house and led him to Christ. Whereupon this person quickly confessed who was responsible. Then Nelson found that party, led him to Christ, and got his goods back. Now that is being weaponized!

So we discussed with Nelson and Karen what they needed in order to safely move into the house. Here is the truth. The only household goods they actually own is an old bedframe that needs repairs and a worse shaped mattress. So along with estimates of what was needed to make the house safe for Karen (a wall), we had Nelson estimate what they needed to properly move into the house. He came back with an estimate of $700 for everything. Oh No! I knew that was not right. So we turned to Karen and told her to make a list of everything they needed, down to furniture, appliances and fixtures. The list was long and we knew we were on our way. I did not have the funds at that time for outfitting a whole house, but gave them a budget of $4,000. So on their way home they stopped in Chinandega and priced everything, which came to just under $4,000. Then we appealed to one of our dear supporting churches for help, and in a few days we had the funds, not only for the household goods, but also for the wall around the house. Joy!

We could tell Nelson did not understand why taking care of the house first was more important than other possible needs of the ministry. We explained this way, ("happy wife, happy Pastor!).

After almost a year away from our second home, here we were back in Nicaragua with Pastor Diomedes. We also had the privilege of spending time with Diomedes Jr. and his new bride Andresca.

The airline tickets originally couldn’t be bought for under $1,500 round trip each. Then in a narrow window, we found an opportunity to get them for around $400 each round trip. The next day the deal was no longer available.

We will be posting more pictures.

Folks:

This may look like just a regular box truck.

What it is really is the culmination of a dream.

We at OMM started discussing with Diomedes ten years ago what it would take to plan and carryout evangelical, community based crusades. We were told it would start with what he called the "Crusade Mobile" A large box truck that could be retrofitted to go from community to community throughout Central America, and bring the love of Christ right where they live.

This is that truck. Just this week it has finally arrived in Nicaragua. Through the financial support of dear friends, this is not really the culmination, but the beginning of strong transformation throughout the Central American communities.

This is cause for great celebration. A dream coming true. We have attached the plan from OMMT for this ministry. Please look at this and pray for this great effort.

Love in Christ,
Stephen and Silvia

This is a video showing Irving hearing for the first time

We received this from Daniela, our Special Needs Ministry (SNM) Coordinator for Central America. This is a beautiful video that Daniela has created. It tells well the impact of this program.



In the words of Pastors Diomedes and Frankie, we have no challenges, just opportunities.



This is a program on the cusp. It has been in development for two years and has reached the point where it is ready to reach all of the families mentioned in the video. What they lack is capacity.



If you are interested in getting involved and helping these families through the love of God, get back to us. We are ready for the next level.

According to Pastor Diomedes, the beneficiaries thus far were:
24 Shepherds.
24 Churches.
315 Families
We praise the Lord for his love and mercy.

The danger is everywhere. Deaths have occurred even as far as Somotillo. The Pastors and Diomedes continue to be "out there" doing what they can. PLEASE PRAY FOR GOD'S COVERING OVER THESE WARRIORS!

Your help to Honduras and Nicaragua is critical at this time, as the pandemic is really causing terrible suffering.
