After breakfast the seven team members in Chinandega brainstormed what a partnership of Faith Church with Chinandega churches might look like, based on what we had learned so far. And our vision extended beyond just Faith Church to the larger community as well.
Then we asked for input from Steve Holtrop as Nehemiah Center team coordinator.
And, finally we sat down to lunch with three Nicaraguan pastors and listened to their thoughts about how their churches have become more healthy through the training from the Nehemiah Center and their vision for the future of their church ministries.
And we're excited by some of the options emerged today. We'll be developing those even further before we return home--and after that as well. Stay tuned, and you may become excited too!
We left the Don Mario Hotel, but not before taking a few photos. Materials from the ongoing renovation had accumulated at the curbside.
Inside the hotel was an open-to-the-sky courtyard filled with tropical plants.
The lobby wall was hung with paintings by owner Don Mario.
The streets outside our hotel...
Halfway back to Managua we made a brief stop in Leon and toured its cathedral.
Tomorrow, after another planning and strategy session with Steve Holtrop, we'll relax for a day--seeing the sights of Nicaragua.
