A little deeper into Nicaragua

It is so easy to grasp what we do in Kenya.  We sponsor schools so that children can have a safe place to come learn, be fed, have clean clothes, to be loved and so much more!  Something that makes sense, something that we can grasp when hearing about it, something that is easily communicated!  We get to share the faces and the names of all of the sweet kiddos, we get to connect you with them.  We love it!  

But, did you know that when you give to Fox River Missions you give for the ministry in Nicaragua as well?  We know that it is hard to grasp and understand what exactly we do in Nicaragua.  

So let me share with you how God is using your gifts in Nicaragua...

Fox River has built and continuously funds a Medical clinic in the community of La Esmeralda.

The clinic is the only medical facility in the area, which means they would have to travel up to 2 hours to get to another (and that's if they have a car/ride).  They have over 10,000 patient visits each year (6 years = over 60,000 patient visits)!  Every patient is treated for their physical need and will also hear the gospel while at the clinic.

Women are being treated during pregnancies, babies are being born in safe environments, men, women, and children are being treated with basic healthcare they would otherwise go without. This clinic has brought health and hope into the community of La Esmeralda as well as the surrounding communities!  God has brought so much life and life change through this clinic!

We also sponsor a Soccer ministry that focuses on reaching teens with an activity that they enjoy! Each player must attend a weekly church service to participate.  They come, they play, the church gets to pour into their lives and we get to see God at work in young lives!

We partner with Santuario Familiar Bautista to encourage the ministry they do everyday!  God has linked our churches to be the Church to the people in the mountains of Nicaragua.  What a pleasure it is to serve alongside them as they desire to live out what God is asking of them!

Fox River has built a home for Pastor Denis and his growing family and a home for the Doctor of the clinic.  We have purchased land for our partner church to plant another church in a neighboring community...  Growth!!! We see growth everyday!  And these things are happening because you are giving, because you are trusting that God will use you!

We hope that this shows you how your gifts are being used in Nicaragua!  If you ever want to experience it for yourself, just join us for a trip!
