In June 2016 an earthquake hit the already impoverished region of Rancheria in Nicaragua. The mission hopes to help three families repair their homes. This help would bring great blessings for the families and a wonderful witness to the community.
I want to support this important relief work.

Deaconess support
February 18, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Deaconesses support the work of pastors by providing Christian education to hundreds of children.
The work of the deaconesses in Iglesia Luterana Sinodo de Nicaragua (ILSN) has blessed the church’s mission and education work in Central America. Their major focus is assisting the pastors to provide Christian education or catechesis for children. They are key to the success of the Children’s Christian Education Program.
Most deaconesses receive a small stipend via the Children`s Christian Education Program (CLMS project #1509).
This project provides extra support of around $20/month for each of the 32 deaconesses.
I want to help provide additional support to the deaconesses.

Lutheran outreach to Managua
February 18, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Representatives from the Nicaraguan church and Lutheran Hour Ministries discuss strategy for Managua outreach.
Since the founding of Iglesia Luterana Sinodo de Nicaragua (ILSN) in 2008, the pastors and deaconesses have dreamed of the day their young church could establish itself in their nation’s capital, Managua. The dream is now becoming a reality.
In October 2014 the ILSN along with Lutheran Church–Canada and the local office of Lutheran Hour Ministries established a plan to begin planting Gospel seeds in Managua. The prayer is that the Holy Spirit will use this proclamation to call people to faith in Christ and gather them into a community of believers — a new congregation.
But a new congregation needs a pastor. Concordia Lutheran Mission Society has accepted the responsibility for providing the funds needed to house a pastor and his family, provide a stipend, and purchase the equipment and supplies needed for outreach and ministry.
Your support will help make the vision of bringing the Good News of the Gospel to Managua a reality.
I want to help support the new outreach in Managua.

Farming for the future in Nicaragua
February 17, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Cultivating the land around the mission centre will provide employment, fruits, vegetables and a model for future farms.
When God provides land, He expects His people to make the most of it. That’s what’s happening in Chinandega, Nicaragua.
Development on the land purchased for Lutheran Church–Canada’s mission office currently includes the Martin Luther Chapel, where the Iglesia Luterana Sinodo de Nicaragua (ILSN) holds large gatherings and classes; an efficient building for offices and classrooms; a health clinic; sewing school; and dormitories for theological students and staff. Even with this development, there is a large section of land ready for the next step—a sustainable agricultural project.
The mission plans to develop the soil then plant fruit trees, crops, and flowers that will help support the mission, provide employment, and establish a model farm for teaching and replication across the church. It’s an ambitious project developed by an experienced Canadian agricultural expert who sees the potential for Gospel outreach and generating sustainable financial support for the church.
To help get things started the project needs funds to employ a caretaker for hands-on maintenance and extra workers to begin developing the land for planting.
The project demonstrates the desire to exercise good stewardship and a vision for the future of the church and how it touches the lives in the communities in which it serves. You can be part of it!
I want to help support this unique farming venture!

New desks for Christian education program
February 17, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Can you buy a new desk?
The Children’s Christian Education Program has grown to more than 700 children. Each of the 23 ILSN congregations has a Christian education or feeding program for children. In some communities the children’s school desks are used for classes, in the worship services, and as tables for lunch. With constant use, the desks wear out. The program now needs 100 new ones. Each costs approximately $40.
Can you buy a desk—or two?
I want to buy desks for the Children’s Christian Education Program.

Children gather for VBS fun and learning.
A successful missionary method and strategy in Central America is outreach through activities with children. The population is large and the children bring the deaconesses and missionaries into their families and their relatives’ homes. Each year 23 Vacation Bible schools take place mostly during January through March each year.
This project provides teaching resources, books, crafts, crayons, Bibles, Bible story books, pencils, pens, paper, transportation, food, snacks, water, refreshment, stipends for volunteers, medical emergency kits for the VBS programs. A donation of $300 supports one VBS.
I want to help support outreach to children through vacation Bible schools.
