Teach our children well has been our theme this week I have been kind of frustrated about the fact that this is the fourth generation I have seen come and go in Nicaragua with little or no change. The apathy and fatalism of the parents is mind boggling. In the Bible Jesus talks about the […]
God is COMPLETELY TRUSTWORTHY!
Just when I thought I couldn´t take another step, David and Beatrice (the two readable email addresses, [email protected] and [email protected] came aboard to help us with the 501C3 paperwork and to organize.
