I’m in Nicaragua!! I’m so thankful to be here again. This month my team is in the beautiful town of Jinotepe. I just love this place, Nicaragua is such a beautiful country; the people, the culture, the landscape, the food. Love it.  We’re working with a pastor in a handful of different places around town. We’ve been doing hospital ministry, visiting a special needs school, a nursing home, 2 different churches, and doing door to too in two different barrios. So this basically looks like walking around the neighborhood meeting people, getting to know them, praying for them, encouraging them in the Lord, however the Spirit leads…. and if we’re lucky they have kids we can play with!! I’ve been really blessed by some of the people we’ve met. Last week we mat a man probably in his late 80’s living with a lot his family in a tiny house in one of the barrios. His words were full of praise for the Lord, he didn’t have much of anything, not much to eat, no job, but kept bringing the conversation back to Abba’s faithfulness. 
 
I need to brag about the Lord for a second. man, He’s just GOOD. I’ve been thinking back through the journey He’s brought me on these past 9 months and I can’t get over how faithful He is!!! He’s done so much outside of how I’ve seen Him move in the people around me in ministry and in the lives of my friends here. He’s such a Champion for us. He’s revealed so much truth to me, brought about so much redemption in my heart, just knocked me over with His kindness, His commitment to me, His constancy. I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around His ridiculous  greatness, (that He carved out volcanoes, that He leads the stars out at night…  ) and then at the same time He’s humble….. He’s just such a beautiful Father. Our love affects the heart of the King. I can’t wrap my little mind around it. He’s just too much. I don’t ever want to get over Him. I want to be broken over Him all of my days.
