Special Campaign: A Moto for the Mountains…

Many of you will recognize Fredder who grew up in Casa Robles. We have shared stories on numerous occasions about the awesome things Jesus is doing in his life. Fredder is still doing amazing. You may recall how he had left Robles and ended up back in La Chureca for a time before God moved in his life and brought him to the Northern Mountains of Nicaragua to work with his Uncle in a carpentry shop. He left the darkness behind him and took the Lords hand, getting his high school diploma via exams, taking leadership in his local church, entering into University to pursue a degree in English Education as well as a second degree in Theology at Universidad Martin Lutero. All the while keeping the first things first in his life and making Jesus his number one priority.

In the last year Fredder has taken a job up in the mountains of Matiguas teaching English to the public schools there. It is an amazing opportunity for him to serve in this remote region. As he is going from school to school he is able to share the love of Jesus Christ and the Gospel of Salvation. This young man is doing amazing and we are so proud of him!

Now to our Special Request…Will you help us to buy Fredder a motorcycle?

When I recently got to see Fredder while he was visiting his grandmother, I asked him about life. He told me about his job, about the five different schools in these very remote areas and how he rotates to each school during the week. Then he shocked me when he said that three schools are pretty close by, but to get to two of the schools I have to walk for two hours on mountain roads to get there! I almost coughed up my drink….TWO HOURS!?! I asked him more details and he said no cars or buses can go on these roads. Then he added that most roads are safe but only one of the days he has to really be vigilant because other teachers have been robbed on the road. This young man is truly serving the Lord!

As we talked more, we realized it would be a huge blessing to buy Fredder a motorcycle. The reasons are pretty obvious and I really think it is attainable. The bike would need to be a mountain type motorcycle which is a bit more expensive, we have found some used ones available. Would you be willing to help? Our goal is to raise $1,700…if you can help the links are below…thank you!

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news!“

Romans 10:14-15

Thank you friends for your interest in our ministry here in Nicaragua. Please continue to pray for Fredder in the this great journey the Lord has him on. One of the things brewing in his heart is a call to the Nations. He is involved in national leadership with the Assemblies of God, he is studying at the University level, and he has many friends like you all…it will be so fun to see what God has for him in the years to come!

God Bless from this beautiful land of lakes and volcanoes!
