God's
School The mission of God's School is to bring ghope and love to a foresaken generation
in Nicaragua. Mary Spires, the founder of this school says, "It is hard to tell someone Jesus
loves them when they are starving. First you feed them, then you tell them that God provided that food because HE loves
them. With that act of kindness a heart that has been hardened for years will soften right before your eyes." God's
School currently feeds and educates over 150 children each day yand provides a Children's Church program each and every
Sunday afternoon.
C.A.L.T.
CALT stands for Christian Academy of Las Torres (www.caltnica.org). These folks make sure that the kids in this neighborhood get the proper education they need, but can't afford.
Currently, about 215 children attend this school. We were blessed to be able to repair leaky roofs in three classrooms.
Actually, they need a whole new roof, so we only supplied a short term solution until they can raise the funds to put on an
entire new roof. We were also able to build dividers for the classrooms that will better acommodate the different
grades. These kids get a great education and learn daily of God's love for them.

New Life In Nicaragua
Tim and Chris Bagwell moved to Nicaragua five years ago from theU.S. to work as missionaries for their church. Two years
ago God put it in their hearts to open a nutritional center for children. It is one of only two in the country.
These babies are abandoned in teh true sense of the word. We met one little girl name Milagro (Milagro means Miracle
in Spanish). She was found in a field wrapped in a plastic bag. Nancy, another infant, was found in a drainage
ditch with only her mouth and nose above the water. Little Marcos was abandoned at teh hospital afetr his mother tried
to self-abort three times because she ws raped by two men. I know these stories are horrific
and incomprehensible, but they are the truth. Truth of what desperate people do during what they think are hopeless
situations. And we believe God led someone to find Milagro and Nancy. As Tim Bagwell puts it, "Each one of
these children already has a testimony of God's love".
