STM “Summer Tsunami” - Second Wave Starts Today
The second wave of our “summer tsunami” of short-term mission teams starts today with the arrival of the youth team from Kirk of the Hills Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Carey will lead that team along with Alcides and Paola. They will serve in Rivas, Nicaragua doing children and youth ministry.
The medical mission team from Grace Church in Greenville, South Carolina arrives tomorrow. Mary and Amber will drive that team as they serve in Via El Carmen (about 20 miles outside of Managua). The sleeping conditions will be rough for the Grace gang (they’re sleeping in hammocks for four nights), so please pray for them next week!
Finally, Fabricio and I lead a youth team from good ol’ Seacoast Church in Mt. Pleasant, SC. We’ll be doing youth ministry in a beach community near Pochomil (including a community soccer tournament), then leading a retreat for Nicaraguan youth leaders in Ciudad Sandino. It should be a blast!
It goes without saying that the blog posts will be sparse over the next couple of weeks. But I promise to fill you in on all of the amazing things God accomplishes through these mission trips. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. Que Dios le bendiga. Hasta pronto!

—all the prayers must have worked because Quinta Beth-El was awesome! I’ll take a hammock over a foam mattress any day and the food can’t be beat.
