Busy Busy Busy

Even though I have internet back, I am staying busy with all these groups here so the blog is still behind...

The group is spending almost all of their time in Santa Matilde and we are joing them there as well as trying to do all of our things in Candelaria.

For the next 2 weeks you can see what IHBC is doing by following Evan Dixon's blog:

NEW SONG'S MISSION

New Song Mission Nicaragua exists to bless and help the Nicaraguan people. They have been plagued by natural disasters and economic and political troubles, but remain a strong and resourceful people. We do not want to develop dependency in those we help. To that end we provide many opportunities for growth and development, spiritually and educationally. We offer our assistance and encouragement in the spirit of Christian love and service to a people of dignity whom we respect and admire. While it is impossible to meet every need, we hope to build faith in God and hope for the future in the people we serve.

MY MISSION

Teach love by showing love and bring smiles to all the children and parents faces by raising funds for health, homes, clothing, churches, school uniforms & supplies, books & computers for education and leisure, bikes, and sports teams & equipment for people in the villages of Candelaria, La Isla, Santa Matilda, Chichigalba, and other poverty-stricken areas of Nicaragua. Getting children and young adults an education so that they can hopefully attend college and/or find jobs and support their families. Bring people to the Lord by showing his love and sharing His word. Bring YOU to the Nicaraguan villages and see if it changes your life.

NEW SONG'S GOALS

See all of the churches grow with new souls and be discipled for Christ and reach many youth for the Kingdom of God in both Candelaria and a new outreach town called Tonanla.
Complete restrooms, stage and lighting system for the church/community center.
Prepare athletic fields with goals and equipment and develop leagues
Continue to develop the organic Herb and Vegetable Gardens and create nutritional juices and herbal medicines
Complete a 1,600 square foot fully outfitted dental/medical clinic and create and mobile Medical/Dental unit for the outreach rural areas
Develop many small home businesses
Continue to develop the Bible College for Native Pastors and Evangelists
Build more smal houses for the homeless.
Sponsor small church projects in outlying villages and the pastors who service them. Our hope is to connect these rural pastors and churches to US pastors and churches to adopt them out for support and encouragement.
Build a secure Industrial Building that the sewing and hammock making ministries can house their equipment and work to provide for their families.

All of these projects will help the people to become self-sufficient and to minister to their community. We do not want to be a mission that keeps the needy in dependency. We want to help them to meet their basic needs and develop skills for employment. We desire to support the local Christian leaders and help them to spread the Good News of Jesus' love in surrounding communities. We hope to help them to plant more churches in the future.
