Living Water for Nagarote

“...but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life” John 4:14.

Nagarote is a small village where the temperature is always be-tween 84° to 104° F. Not many people have the chance to have a refrigerator at home, so many times during the day we get peo-ple looking for one thing—cold water. God has given us this as a great opportu-nity to make connec-tions, but much more to speak of living water: Jesus Christ, the only source that completely fills life.

We have been in Nagarote, Nicaragua, for 2 years and 4 months with the purpose of walking on this earth as Christ walked and following in His footsteps. We have taken as our motto Acts 20:24,

because our life is worth nothing if we do not bring the news of His wonderful grace.We have seen Christ act faithfully in our lives every day. We have been stepping out in faith as we move towards our dream of establishing a Grace Church in Nagarote, where the people can know

the Only True God. How are we doing that?

Following Christ.

Christ came to invest inpeople, Paul did the same,

and we want to follow in Christ’s footsteps.

Our Problem:How to start a church from zero knowing we will leave

here someday.

What the Bible says:Invest in a few to see results in many people. See transformed

lives by the power of God.What Are We Doing?

People with whom we share the message of Jesus have names, faces, and stories. Every day they know more about Christ, so they join us to share the gospel in different ministries, as cells, with the group of children and youth, in weekly worship or men’s group, and at special activities. The goal is not only to make new believers, but to walk with them in their faith and knowledge of Christ. Next we will share about two of the people in whom we are investing.

Thanks for being part of us, you are always in our prayers. So we want to tell you why we are grateful, and what our new petitions to the Lord are for the coming months.

Milo and Raquel

You are part of what God is doing in Nagarote and the lives of these peo-ple. The last big prayer we had was to purchase land where a church/ministry center will be built this year. We also asked God to not feel alone, but to feel the support of others in prayer, donations, and visits.

3 GMI teams will visitus this summer:

• Parkside Bible Church• EXITE Team

• Eastport Bible Church

They will help with the construction of the

perimeter wall on the land and also with the

ministry.

We are grateful for them and we pray fortheir health and safety.

We pray for churches and individuals inter-ested in supporting the construction projects here in Nagarote.

Ministry prayer requests:

* For our disciples and their spiritual lives.

• For the renewal of our resident permits.

Short-Term Projects:• Construction of

a perimeter wall of 495 linear meters

• Construction of a ranch to start Bible

studies this year. Cost - $5,000

Our goal is to try to get the ministries moved from our house so we can have more privacy.

The request of our hearts if 1 John 2:6—we want to walk as

Jesus walked.

Mercedes is 13 years old and has been studying the Bible with Raquel for a year and a half. She is at our house a long time every day learning and helping us. She has learned so well that she also helps Raquel teach adult women and children. She also invests her time in another girl named Ledita. Pray for her, her family, her testimony, and her spiritual life.

Larry is 22 years old. He has been studying the Bible with Milo for a year and a half. Last year he had the opportunity to go to Costa Rica. Larry is very active in the men’s, children’s, and youth groups. Every day he is more encouraged to serve, and we are excited to see how he is maturing in the Lord. Pray for his spiri-tual life, family, studies, and dreams.
