Based in Managua, reaching out to Nicaragua: Christ for the City International.
One of the most inspiring, moving, Spirit-led worship experiences of my life occurred a couple of weeks ago during the Seacoast medical mission trip at the Nueva Jerusalén Church. It was twenty Americans and two hundred Nicaraguans praising God.
No inhibitions.
No concerns about a language barrier.
No holding back.
Just singing to our Lord and Savior.
It was [...]
I’ve been blown away by the virtual reflections of the recent Seacoast medical mission team. Take a look at the amazing online journals and read different perspectives on their 10 days of ministry in Nicaragua:

Read full post...Yesterday we said goodbye to the youth mission team from Seacoast Church. Fabricio, David, and I served with the 14 members of the team, lead by Youth Pastor Josh Ray, in the coastal community of Madroñal and then at a youth retreat in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua.
I must say, we had an amazing time:
The Seacoast [...]

The medical mission team from Grace [...]
Yesterday was the 29th anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua. Amber and I “celebrated” the occasion by going to the beach with friend and CFCI intern David. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the drive from our house to the beach is only 32 miles. And it was well worth [...]
Read full post...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 [...]
Amber and I love waking up in Nicaragua. Here are a few reasons why:
Amazing Nicaraguan coffee
A morning serenade from our friendly “neighbors” (a family of goats)
The Total Gym (just kidding, this is one thing we’re not too excited about in the morning!)
A breezy front porch, comfortable chairs, and a Bible
The assurance that we’re right where [...]
Nicaragua is dealing with major economic woes. The price of food and water is going up daily, it seems. (By my estimation, prices have gone up by about 20 to 30 percent since we arrived in March.)

I know that a lot of Americans are [...]
