It's coffee season in Nicaragua, so there weren't many folks around in El Delirio when we showed up to spend some time sharing the bible with them last Friday. But there are always plenty of kids! We spent Friday afternoon coloring pictures with crayons with the kids and singing a couple songs Pablo taught them in Spanish. After sharing cookies and drinks with all of them, we were able to talk to one of the community leaders about getting a census of kids in the community. We're hoping to be able to bring presents to the kids next week, before I leave back to the states for Christmas. There are around 50 kids in the community, so the total cost is gonna be at least $200 to get gifts there from Matagalpa. Given that I'm the only white person around, Pablo wants me to dress up as Santa when we go. I'm kinda hoping we can't find a costume, but if we can you'll be seeing some ridiculous pictures next week.
If anyone would like to help in providing gifts for these kids, whether contributing towards the goal of $200 or in addition for extra little things the families would appreciate, there is a donation link on the right sidebar or checks can be made to the Laurel Church of Christ, 714 E 5 St Laurel, MT. Thank you for all who continue to pray and support this ministry! God bless!
This is the little guy we were able to buy a coat for last Friday
