Spreading the Good News
Our church mission trip to Nicaragua was on July 16th-23rd, 2011 We worked in the village of Calishuate. We helped build houses, put on roofs,worked with the disabled, passed our family bags, children's bags and backpacks. We also shared in words and deeds the love of Christ to the people that live there. Another Latin American Community Development group will be going to Nicaragua again in February 2012 if you are interested. Talk to Regina Ragon for details.
For the mission trip, we are in need of Over The Counter Medicines: Tylenol, Aspirin, Benadryl, Rolaids, etc,Cough and Cold Medicine, Children and/or adult vitamins. First Aid Type Creams of all types, Band Aids, Antibacterial Creams, Medicated Body Powders.
Beauty and Hygiene: Save all of your hotel soaps and shampoos, Combs, Brushes, Hair Berets, Pony Tail Holders, etc. Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, Floss, Mouth wash, Lotions, soaps, shampoos, etc.
Toys: (Can't use games not in Spanish) Coloring Books, crayons, pencils, pens, glue, paper, etc. Any books for children in Spanish would be awesome. Small toys and hard Candy for the kids.
**If you bring children's books to McKays they will trade them in for Spanish books.
School: Backpack type book bags. (Anything that a teacher or child could use in school.)
Clothes:Flip-flops, and small shoes, (Before a child can go to school they must be able to have a uniform to wear. The boys wear navy pants with white dress shirts. The girls wear navy skirts with white blouses.)
Thank you so much for you continued support. Keep those who will be going on the trip in your prayers as they minister and become living witnesses to the children of Nicaragua who need to see the love of Christ in action.
