Microenterprise in Nicaragua

The Miskito pastors and leaders in northeast Nicaragua continue to work hard and often sacrifice to travel and spread the Good News of Christ through Bible narratives. But, because of their poverty, they are so limited in what they can provide for their families. Their congregations are not able to support them. They have very limited access to simple things like school for their children, medical care for their families etc.



We have been burdened for a long time about this! We can teach them about the Bible, but what can we do to help them to support themselves. We can send money from time to time, but is that the best thing for them?

Recently, the pieces have begun to fit together. We are working on a partnership that may be able to help them with micro-business loans that will sustain their families and ministries over the long term.

We appreciate your prayers as we finalize plans to return to Nicaragua in May to begin development of microenterprises.
