Welcome to Ometepe, an island in Lake Nicaragua that was formed by two volcanoes. On this island, Trans World Missions established an orphanage, Cicrin, in the early 1970‘s. Cicrin was created for mistreated, abandoned, and at-risk children of Nicaragua. The orphanage provides housing, food, clothing, medication, education, Christian upbringing, psychological attention, safety, and hope to these children. This is also our location for our last month of ministry on the World Race.

Kitchen & Dining Room Overlooking the Lake Hand-washing clothes
Our meals typically consist of rice and beans, and sometimes fish, squash, or soup. Ministry has included construction of a feeding center, working in the garden or kitchen, hanging out with the kids, etc. It has been great to have physical labor ministry and to see the accomplishments that come from our time and hard work.
