Moving Forward

We are overwhelmed by the Lord’s faithfulness.  I do not have the courage in any way to keep stepping and yet he provides exactly what we need.  At the same time He is molding and changing our hearts, gently guiding our motives, and waking us up to brokenness in our thinking as he shapes our path.  The past week we were able to raise almost $10,000 toward the purchase of the property here in Salinas Grandes.   I never imagined that was possible.  It builds my faith.  I have always given lip service to the fact that God provides.  I have experienced his provision many ways.  Truthfully though, I have always had my own back up plan.  What we are stepping into right now doesn’t really have a back up plan.  We had saved up to live here as long as we could but we felt him leading us to put our savings toward land to create a kids community center to pour into the lives of the kids in Salinas Grandes and alleviate a portion of poverty through education. We didn’t have enough and yet many of you jumped in to buy a piece of land in Nicaragua with us.   Your “YES” and generosity to us enables us to keep moving forward.   We are working through the process of purchasing the property and all the legal steps that must be taken to ensure that it is fully ours.
