Hilltop Ministries: Nicaragua

Our missionary had the opportunity to attend a youth conference in Esteli, Nicaragua, this past weekend. Here is her experience. Enjoy! YOUTH CONFERENCE - ESTELI NOV 2023: In recent years, people have been leaving their homes and families to seek work in the US. From what I've seen, the majority are young adults, aged between the ages of 18 and 25. In Nicaragua, when a church announces a youth event, it typically caters to those aged 13 to about 25 years. In contrast, youth events in the USA usually cater to those up to 18 years old. The cultural norms here are different. Given this, I didn’t expect many young people to attend our event. I was pleasantly surprised when over 150 youths showed up to worship the Lord, listen to the guest speakers, and enjoy fellowship. Another surprise was the event's timing; it was scheduled from 9 am to 3:15 pm. I had mistakenly thought it would end at 12 pm. I was happily proven wrong once again! The event was organized by the Foursquare Church...

  Muchos de ustedes recordarán a Antonio de cuando recaudamos fondos para ayudarlo a preparar su casa para la diálisis de sus riñones en agosto de 2020. Recientemente, Antonio no se ha sentido bien. Fue al hospital en Managua, la capital de Nicaragua, la semana pasada, y le dijeron que tenía una infección. Le dieron medicinas para ayudar con la infección, pero durante la semana ha empeorado y se ha debilitado progresivamente. La familia decidió trasladarlo del hospital en Managua al hospital en Estelí para estar más cerca de la familia. Llegó a Estelí el 13 de noviembre. Escribimos esta publicación para pedir a nuestros seguidores y guerreros de oración que mantengan a Antonio y su familia en sus oraciones. Oren por guía y sabiduría para los doctores y el personal que lo atiende, y para que la familia encuentre paz y comprensión que les ayude en este momento difícil. "Mas él herido fue por nuestras rebeliones, molido por nuestros pecados; el castigo de nuestra paz fue sobre él, y ...

  Many of you may remember Antonio from when we raised funds to help him prepare his house for dialysis for his kidneys back in August 2020. Recently, Antonio has not been feeling well. He went to the hospital in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, last week, and they told him he had an infection. They put him on medicine to help with the infection, but over the week, he has progressively gotten worse and weaker. The family decided to transfer him from the hospital in Managua to the hospital in Esteli to be closer to family. He arrived in Esteli on November 13. We write this post to call on our supporters and prayer warriors to keep Antonio and his family in your prayers. Pray for guidance and wisdom for the doctors and staff taking care of him, and for the family to find peace and understanding to help them through this difficult time.   "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripe...
