Three Feeding Centers

As I arrived to the feeding center the line had already formed with over a hundred children when out from a very poor home came this young boy. He was in a hurry to get his lunch that the feeding center had been providing for him and other children of the barrio. The only thing was he came without his clothes. As I saw this boy I remembered the scripture that says “When I was naked you clothed me and when I was hungry you fed me.” And the disciples said “Lord, when did we see you naked and clothe you and when did we see you hungry and feed you?” Jesus replied, “When you have done it unto the least of these you have done it unto me.”

Through partnership with the ministry of Feed the Hungry we were able to reopen the feeding center in Bluefields. We were also able to partner with two other feeding centers one in Managua by the trash dump and another location outside of Managua in a squatters camp. Our goal is to feed five hundred children five day a week.

Feeding and Learning Center in Bluefields

Thanks to a team member from Summerville South Carolina there is a new feeding and learning center in Bluefields. While she was here on a team God spoke to her heart to reach out to the many children who don't get enough to eat, teaming together with one of the churches in Bluefields with the same vision. The children are being fed. The church is also preparing to start teaching them to read and the pastor is believing God for a future Christian School as well.

Hurricane Felix Ravages North East Coast of Nicaragua

Relief efforts still continue to the people affected most by the hurricane Felix. Although you may not see the news coverage like when the hurricane first hit, the need is still very real. The following months after any natural disaster such as this are crucial times to get the needed relief. This area's crops were wiped out so when harvest time comes there will be more need, also the livestock were impacted. Main bridges have also been destroyed. This area has never been the easiest area to travel in but now it is even worse. If you would like to give toward the relief effort to the victims of Hurricane Felix in Nicaragua, Please contact us at troy.doudy@hqmail.agmd.org. Or you can just send in a donation to AGWM Troy Doudy #289401, Hurricane Felix, 1445 Boonville Ave, Springfield MO 65802.

Healing Through a Compassionate Touch



San Jacinto Assembly of God Health & Eye care Team

 


Deluth Medical Team

A wonderful Medical Team from several churches in the Duluth Minnesota area came this February 06. This trip was their thirteenth trip to Nicaragua, but their first time to the Southern Caribbean Coast. This was an incredible team very well organized and prepared the ministry. Their hearts of compassion continue to draw them back to the wonderful people of Nicaragua. Everyday during the clinics when the team was getting tired and the patient’s weary Chuck one of the leaders would play his guitar singing worship chorus. It was amazing to see the change on everyone’s faces. They went from tired and sometime irritated to peaceful, joyful and content. 100's of lives have been touched physically and spiritually through their compassionate touch.
Here is a personal account from the journal of one of the team members.

"A TRIP BACK 125+ YEARS IN TIME... I was fortunate to become a member of a medical team of seventeen traveling to Nicaragua (the second poorest nation in the western hemisphere, just ahead of Haiti) to hold medical clinics in remote areas of Eastern Nicaragua near the Caribbean coast. In the months previous to the trips, medicines are collected thru donations and purchases from drug companies to go with the team. On this trip twenty-eight 50-lb. medicine suitcases were taken. Over 600 patients were seen by the doctor, many teeth extracted and nearly 500 pairs of eyeglasses dispensed.

Our pile of luggage and us were loaded onto 2 panga boats (each boat seats 20), headed east down the river for 2 hours, then headed into a small tributary. Just up from the mouth of the tributary was a man fishing in a dugout canoe. I then realized that the boats seen along the riverbanks were all dugouts hallowed from tree trunks. About 2 miles up we arrived at the river community of Santa Rita, greeted by a group on the riverbank. We were the first medical team ever to help this community. Trading for necessities is done along the riverbanks as there are no roads leading to Santa Rita, only primitive winding donkey paths. Time is meaningless here and not accounted for . . . when the sun sets, it is bedtime . . . when the sun rises, and the day begins. Many residents do not know when they were born or how old they are; there are no autos or gasoline engines. (Note: I brought along 100 red sponge clown noses which I attached to noses of the crowd gathered outside during our lunch break. The recipients, young and old, laughed with glee at the sight of others with a red nose!)

This was the most rewarding, adventurous, thought-provoking experience I have ever had. I encourage everyone, if the opportunity arises, to do a mission trip." Written by Tom Bislow Duluth Medical Team

Hurricane Beta Relief

We traveled six hours by air and then by river to bring family food packs to those who were hit hardest by the storm. Below Troy is giving family packs to a local pastor along with the gospel of Luke purchased with LFTL funds. Everyone was very grateful and so happy to see us.
Excited children ran to the dock when they saw our boat pull up from a distance. This area is very remote the only way they can be reached is by boat. Here a widow stands in front of what use to be her house which was destroyed during the hurricane. She is the sole support for herself and her five grandchildren.

Feeding the Hungry

Once again we teamed up with Feed the Hungry to reach out compassionately to those who are in need. This is the third outreach we have coordinated. This trip was different from the others because we went to many hard to reach places. We traveled by bus, river panga, walked, bus, truck, boat trip to the Islands, and then finally by plane. We were able to distribute $15,000 worth of food while sharing the love of Jesus.

The team was made up of about 30 young people from the Victory Church Intern Ministry, Tulsa, OK. These young people truly demonstrated servant hearts as they gave above and beyond what was expected of them. One example was toward the end of the trip when all the materials for the new church on Little Corn Island needed to be unloaded from a boat. We arrived by boat to the island at 10:30pm after traveling all day and worked until 7:30am the next morning, unloading almost 2000 blocks, 300 bags of cement, lumber, rock and sand. Thank you Victory and Feed the Hungry! You are the best!!!!
