Episode 007 - Mission Trip Prank: “A Day With Gumby”

Jul 13th, 2008 by Nathan | Comments Off

James Bond is “007″. It’s entirely appropriate that Episode 007 of Missions Minded Videos is a top-secret, under cover, covert operation. No lives were risked making this video, but lots of laughs ensued!
In this episode, the men of the Emmanuel Fellowship short-term mission (myself included) play a prank on the ladies of the team. (In [...]

In Between Teams

Jul 5th, 2008 by Nathan | 0

It’s Saturday afternoon and I’m hanging out at the mall with Amber.
I’m supposed to be with the short-term mission team from Emmanuel Fellowship.
So why am I playing hooky?
Because we have the best ministry director in the world!
Alcides is filling in for me this weekend to give me some rest in between teams. I’ll join the [...]

Jun 10th, 2008 by Nathan | 0

You’re going to enjoy Episode #6 of Missions Minded Videos: “Cooking With Claudia!” Claudia will show us how to make Nathan’s mouth-watering Nicaraguan food: pescosones.
They’re a slice of heaven. Fried.
As a bonus for this video, if you watch on YouTube, you’ll see a new feature called YouTube Annotations, which is kind of like interactive Pop-Up [...]

Episode 005 - Nicaraguan Home Improvement

May 28th, 2008 by Nathan | 0

Episode #5 of “Missions Minded Videos” is extreme.
As in extreme…home…makeover!
Fabricio invited the team over last Sunday for a little home improvement party — Nicaraguan style.  And it was, in fact, a lot of fun!  You’ll see in the video that the work got done (removing a wall so that Adiel and sleep in the same [...]

Thank you all so much for staying with me for the [...]

Bringing Back the Blackouts?

May 8th, 2008 by Nathan | 0

Last year Nicaragua experienced “rolling blackouts,” planned outages in different parts of the country. Every week the newspaper reported on when residents could expect the outages in their neighborhoods: 2 to 7 p.m. or 5 to 10 p.m.
When Amber and I came to Nicaragua in March, we came prepared — with a battery charger [...]

Sweet Ride!

Mar 27th, 2008 by Nathan | 0

We have a “new” car! And it’s exactly the vehicle we were praying for: seats 5-7, AC, 4×4. Oh yeah, and it’s a Nissan, my personal favorite. (This will be my third Nissan: first was the ‘85 Pulsar, then an ‘01 Frontier, and now a ‘99 Pathfinder.)  Thank you for praying for us [...]
