West Brandenton Baptist Church
Our first full day in
Nicaragua was full of firsts.
For most of the team this is the first time in Nicaragua. We
arrived on Saturday to a cool 85 degrees, and we're loving it. For those of you who have served with us in
Nicaragua you know that 85 degrees is a blessing! And on Sunday the temps were the same. It’s winter in Nicaragua!
The day started out with a wonderful breakfast and an early
worship at Bethel Baptist Church. We
were greeted with hugs and kisses from the church members and felt very
welcomed. We were blessed to see two of
the Samuelito Ministry children to be baptized by Howie. The was a first for Orphan’s Heart to
participate in the baptisms of the street children’s ministry. It was followed by a wonderful time of praise
and worship, complete with creative dancing and flags. This was a moving time for the team as we
truly felt the spirit of the Lord in the service.
This was the first time for the “youth” of the Samuelito
Ministry to actually see a baptism. We
were introduced to some of the children that we’ll be ministering to during the
week as they were in attendance this morning.
We were able to serve a special breakfast to them as we honored
those who had been baptized. We are
looking forward to our VBS with the children this week.
After a delicious lunch at Narcy’s (the Pollo Campero of
Nicaragua) we visited the market in the castle and the the Masya Volcano
(active). Again, this was a first for everyone in seeing an active
volcano. We returned to the hotel eager
to organize and make the last minute preparations for our ministry with the
nursing home and VBS beginning tomorrow.
