Dear Friends,<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Let me tell you what is happening in Nicaragua and with our Ministry<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

More than 200 unarmed people have been killed in peaceful protests in the last 60 days.\u00a0Many more than in Venezuela in 3 years. \u00a0An evangelical pastor and his family of 6 was just burned to death inside their home\u00a0including two babies because they refused to let paramilitary use their home as high ground for a sniper attack.\u00a0 All\u00a0while the president drags his feet as he allegedly agrees to plans for peace and new elections in 2019.\u00a0 He is reluctant to leave the presidency.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

A glimmer of hope<\/span><\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Though there is nothing much on the US news and most Americans don\u2019t even know what is going on in Nicaragua, the Washington Post and others are reporting now that Pence just announced that the USA is solidly against what is happening.\u00a0 Today (6\/20\/2018), the U.S. Ambassador to the OEA arrived in Nicaragua to help with the peace talks.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Now, even the UN and EU are getting involved to condemn the killing of innocent people and what is going on in Nicaragua.<\/span><\/h3>\n

El Nuevo Diario and 100% Noticias can be found on the Internet.

Meanwhile, Masaya refuses to be controlled by the government of Ortega.\u00a0Six more civilians have been killed their and many more injured. However, many police are leaving the police force there and in other towns so as not to be involved in harming civilians.<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

As Nicaragua struggles for freedom from oppression, our ministry continues to minister to the children<\/span><\/i><\/strong><\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

With this country in civil unrest it means we need more money to function. \u00a0Prices have gone up for\u00a0everything because the supermarkets and markets are practically bare.\u00a0 The road blocks haven\u2019t allowed the trucks to get through.\u00a0 And the attacks on the markets have caused most people to take down their stands.\u00a0 Even the electricity and water have tripled.<\/span><\/h3>\n

We need your help\u00a0more than ever!<\/span><\/i><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Most people right now have no income because they cannot get to work and that includes the people in our churches in Juigalpa and Diriamba.<\/h3>\n

In order to feed the children who attend our church we need staples like oil, vegetables, beverages and, when possible, chicken.\u00a0 \u00a0We still have the Manna packs but they are not really palatable cooked in water.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Ultimately, our people are looking to us for help.\u00a0 Even our Pastors have no support.<\/span><\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the past two months, Pastor Glenn and I have sent funds to our Pastor and his wife who were living in our house taking care of our daughter, Emmy.\u00a0 This money also took care of him, his wife and our youth pastors living in Diriamba.\u00a0 He and his wife finally were able to return to Juigalpa where their own daughter had a medical emergency and where his church needs him.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Now, we have to send funds for household expenses and for a new person who is taking care of Emmy.\u00a0 We have almost no food in our house in Jinotepe and we have ministry and personal bills to pay also.<\/span><\/h3>\n

We are currently in Florida and praying for an end to this violence and for us to be able to return.\u00a0 Emmy is studying online since it is too dangerous for the schools in Jinotepe to reopen.\u00a0 We pray she doesn\u2019t run out of medication.\u00a0 Right now she is sick with a bad cold and she isn’t getting very good nutrition.<\/span><\/h3>\n

We have two households to support plus our pastors and youth pastors.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We cannot do this alone.\u00a0\u00a0We are living on Social Security and we cannot work due to health issues.\u00a0 We need monthly support.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our plan to sell our house in Nicaragua is on hold.\u00a0 We know that God has His plans for us.\u00a0 We must continue on until He releases us from Nicaragua.\u00a0 No matter what, we are dedicated to continuing our ministry there and helping the wonderful, self-sacrificing people who are giving their lives to set their country free from tyranny.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Brothers and Sisters we urgently need your help!<\/span><\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n
