Work and Witness Teams

Work and Witness Teams come to Puerto Cabezas Nicaragua to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. A team left this morning and another team arrived on the same plane! We are back to back with teams for 4 consecutive weeks. And that is only the teams that come to this side of the river. Teams also come to Honduras to do work there.
What do we do?
First and foremost, we tell, and show, the villagers the Unconditional Love of Jesus Christ.
How do we do that?
We assist pastors in training and relocating to pastor other new churches. We train pastors in discipleship, mentoring, and animal care. We assist new congregations in building their first permanent structure. We take teams to villages far away to show the villagers the first ever film in their Heart Language, Miskito, the JESUS film. We do medical clinics. We assist in a Seed Program to help local villagers protect their seed until the next planting season. Our presence shows we care!
What is our Goal?
To promote a sense of ownership of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To move the Miskito people in such a way they GO and TELL.
Why do we do what we do?
The book of Matthew in the Holy Bible tells us: "Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" Matthew 28:19
These were Jesus' words to the world, a commandment.
