This valuable ministry, provided at the churches by the deaconesses and pastors, offers tutoring in mathematics, Spanish, science, and, most importantly, lessons from the Word of God. Funding is needed to ensure that the 60 children attending the program in 2020 will have the backpacks, notebooks, and educational resources needed for each child’s scholarship.

Project 2102 Goal: $6,600

Thanks to the response of our donors over the last few years, the pastors in Nicaragua have all been provided with motorcycles as needed.  These are used to travel from their homes to their church communities and to the Mission Centre in Chinandega for meetings, A number of the older motorcycles are in need of repair and all need regular maintenance.  Many of the pastors have rural parishes, driving many miles daily over dusty, rutted roads.

Project 2106 Goal: $6,500

Educational training seminars, spiritual formation retreats, and mission service activities are provided with the assistance of LCC’s Diaconal Coordinator, Deaoconess Olga Groh, to better equip and strengthen the valuable work of the deaconesses.

Project 2107 Goal: $7,500

This program and its materials and resources, including nearly 200 laptop computers, are largely funded and led by a Canadian volunteer, significantly reducing the overall costs. Your support is needed to help the deaconesses and students reach the Chinandega mission centre and its computer lab, and also to allow volunteers to travel to church communities to provide on-site computer training.

Thanks to our donors, this project is being funded in 2021 with donations from 2020 that went unused due to COVID-19 impacts. Additional donations are not required at this time.

Project 2004 Goal: $9,500

There are currently 27 faithful deaconesses who provide Christian education to women, youth and children, organize feeding programs, and visit their church members and those in need. This project is to provide an additional $20 monthly stipend to assist with transportation and expenses during a time of political turbulence and resulting financial strains.

Project 2008 Goal: $6,000

Children and youth receive musical training by a full-time staff musician as they learn to play instruments, allowing them to actively participate in their congregation’s worship services. Keyboards, guitars, speakers, microphones, band equipment, music sheets are needed. The project also provides funding for transportation and meals when training is taking place.

I want to support music training for children and youth.

Project 2005 Goal: $5,000

$1.50 can provide a substantial and healthy meal for a child in any community in Nicaragua. There are groups of anywhere from 40 to 80 children in each of the Central American feeding programs where the children hear Bible studies and learn the Small Catechism. A deaconess and pastor lead the programs while the children are fed once or twice a week. The funding goal for the project has increased this year to allow even more children to access the program.

I want to support feeding for the children of Nicaragua.
