We are back in the USA as of yesterday
Hi Folks,
Carolyn and I (Richard) are back in the USA as of yesterday. While the trip to Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua was mainly for logistical and planning purposes...we DID have many spiritual benefits while we were there as well.
I was given the opportunity to preach in a local church in Puerto Cabezas (pictures, and possibly video to follow) while there. It was well received and I got a huge blessing out of meeting the people at this little church (it was so small that they had no walls, just a tin roof). The church has just recently been "officially recognized", I'm not sure it even has a name yet...just a bunch of truly devout, and spiritual people. Carolyn and I were also given the opportunity to spend about 20 minutes or so at church services on Sunday night discussing our mission with the local "Iglesias de Dios" (Church of God) in Puerto Cabezas. We were VERY well received and found out to our astonishment that the pastors all over the La Mosquitia region have been speaking of our mission up and down the coast in many, many small to tiny villages in the region. So we have had lots and lots of prayer devoted to the accomplishment of the tasks which God has laid out for us.
Please add YOURSELF to our list of prayer partners.
While we were in NICARAGUA, we had the chance to meet with Lieutenant Colonel Martinez of the Nicaraguan Army to discuss whether or not we would be able to base our airplane on military property when we arrive permanently in Puerto Cabezas. The Colonel made several phone calls to Managua on our behalf, and although he was unable to acquire the necessary permission from his "higher-ups", we feel as though we made an important contact in this man. Lt. Col. Martinez was very impressed with what we are attempting to accomplish and it seems that he will take steps to help us when he can. Pray for this with us, please.
We had the opportunity to discuss aircraft tie-downs facilities with the local airport, and received word that upon receipt of a "constancia" from the Church of God, through Managua that we would very likely receive permission to park there for free. This would be a HUGE blessing to our efforts, so that is one more thing which we would like you to keep in prayer for us. Please.
I don't have the time at this moment to fill you in on everything that we did while there this last week...but I will tell you more when I see you. I picked up a great joke from a guy in Puerto Cabezas....give me a call and I'll tell it to you.
