A Special Need…a medical chair lift for Connie.

You may remember Teresa and Connie if you have followed our ministry or visited Club Esperanza. Connie has special needs but even through her challenges she was one of our first graduates from PreSchool at Club Esperanza. Teresa began working with us and serving at Club Esperanza around that same time. Life is not the easiest for them, but they take it on with Joy and hard work.

Last week, Teresa shared a particular need for a medical lift, and I really felt the Lord’s leading to share with everyone and see if we can’t raise the money to get the lift on Amazon and then ship it down to Nicaragua!

With taxes and shipping it will cost…

Connie is about to turn 17 years old and this would be a wonderful birthday present, though I am sure we could add some more gifts to the pile if anyone wanted too. But this is a perfect gift, helping a family that needs something very functional and basic! We feel confident that these are the moments Jesus was talking about when He told us “whenever you did this for the least of these you have done it for me.” So, we want to help!

It was a real joy to visit with Connie today. She is non verbal but you can feel the joy in her soul when she says hello and I have zero doubt that her life and her mom Teresa’s life make an impact on the Kingdom of God, impact on the lives of those who get to know them, impact beyond what any of us could imagine! It is a blessing to be their friends.

We hope you will jump on board and help us to raise money to buy this chair lift! You can find donation information here.

Just as importantly, please keep Connie and Teresa in your prayers.

Thank you Amigos!

Matthew 25:31-46

³¹ “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.³² All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.³³ He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

³⁴ “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.³⁵ For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶ I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

³⁷ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?³⁸ When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? ³⁹ When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

⁴⁰ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

⁴¹ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fireprepared for the devil and his angels.⁴² For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,⁴³ I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

⁴⁴ “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

⁴⁵ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

⁴⁶ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
