Day four in Nicaragua!! -By Jacob Raines

So... we are all having a blast down here! For the last few day we have had the pleasure of participating in hanging out with the humble people and crazy children of a small village called Chunco. There is something that God has made special about serving others. If it's serving at home or in a different country, God rewards and brings favor to His servants with insight,wisdom, and love. The culture of Nicaragua is eye opening as a person coming from the states, these people are content with very little, and they are as humble as can be. One thing that brought a smile to my face happened when some young boys that I hung around asked me with worry in there voices if I was going to be back the next day to play with them.
All the fun and games aside, I did not raise 12 hundred bucks just to play soccer and to hang out with some kids. Our mission team has not kept our eyes off the prize, we are pursuing the salvation for the people in Nicaragua as Christ has called us to. I am super excited for the coming days, as we get the opportunity to witness to some amazing people. It's really great to see God move in big ways here.
God bless
