Nicaragua

Ryan & Sarah Schmitz serve as Global Partners Missionaries in Nicaragua. They recently sent the following update…

Dear Milliken Church Family, This has been a month of exciting new things happening in Nicaragua. We hosted two sports ministry outreaches in two communities. This builds goodwill and openness to the Gospel.

We offered training for several of our rural pastors on how to grow and use the Moringa plant in their communities. We also hosted a short term mission team from Colombia! It is beautiful to see mission volunteers from countries that were also once considered mission fields themselves! Because that team already spoke Spanish, their engagement with our people was amazing.

Please pray for us as we wait for the Nicaraguan government to renew our visas. Major changes in immigration policy have slowed down all requests. Pray that our application will be reviewed favourably.

Please also remember our kindergarten teacher at the Las Colinas primary school. She was diagnosed with cancer and has left her position to seek treatment. We ask God to heal, protect and strengthen her.

Thank you for your partnership. Much love and many blessings,

Ryan, Sarah, Micah, Eva, Abel & Esme

 


Thank you to everyone who attended last Sunday’s reception for our graduates.

Bridal Reception Today we will host a Bridal Reception for Natalie Dukhilall and her fiancee Kingtel Senior. Please come to the gym following our worship service and offer your expressions of congratulations. We rejoice and pray for the couple as they begin this next phase of their lives.

Devotional Available The newest issues of Our Daily Bread is still available at the back Sanctuary table. One per household please. This allows others to benefit as well.

Time to Pray our Wednesday evening time of intercession and sharing gathers in the Fellowship Room at 7:15pm on this weeknight. If you have a request or praise to share, we invite you to write it on a card from the pew rack and place it in the miniature church on the far right corner of the platform.

Vacation Bible School begins this Friday evening at 6:30pm. It will continue all day on Saturday, and into Sunday morning. All children ages 3-11 are invited to attend. We will enjoy games, crafts, snacks, stories and more! For more information, speak with Hyesung Kim today.

Next Sunday we will include a segment of our Annual VBS Program in the Morning Worship Service. We will also share in a VBS Celebration Social following the service. Please pray for this great program and all who will visit to participate in it.
