Morning visit to San Matilde church. San Matilde is a semi-rural area of re-settled Hurricane Mitch refugees
The San Matilde pastor has a vision for restoring the community. He smiled and said some of the residents call him that "crazy pastor" because of his vision for the future, which includes a market and a pharmacy in the community. Church vision, which appears behind the pastoral couple is, Jehovah is my protector.
Afternoon visit to a Chinandega church with a dynamic youth ministry.
Mural on wall of the Chinandega church
An outreach ministry of the Chinandega church occurs in this thatched-roof building and the neighboring streets. Church members set up games for children, talk with the residents, host worship, and go house-to-house praying with and for the people of this poorer neighborhood.
A few neighborhood children look at Pastor Gary's photos of Iowa. Snow was a mystery to them.
Carol with an area resident whose house we visited and with whom we prayed.
Kathie journaling in the hotel at the end of the day.
