Working and enjoying Gods creation— Rachel White

Gathering Around the Table

One of the blessings of this trip is sharing meals together. Good food, great conversation, and grateful hearts remind us that fellowship is an important part of the mission.

Finding joy in the simple moments. 💚 Rachel enjoying a swing at beautiful La Finca. 🇳🇮

Joy knows no language!  Laughter, music, and fellowship filled the room as our team joined in the fun with new friends at La Finca. Moments like these remind us that God's love brings people together across every culture.

Joy is contagious! 🎉 Singing, clapping, and celebrating God's goodness together at La Finca.

This weekend, about 60 mothers and their children will arrive at La Finca after traveling 13–15 hours by bus from across Nicaragua. Teen moms will begin arriving tonight and continue tomorrow.

Today, our team is serving alongside the local Vida Joven (Young Life Nicaragua) leadership and volunteers to prepare the camp for their arrival. Rachel, Sheryl, Matt, and Pastor Carrie are helping in the childcare area, while others are assisting with projects around camp.

Please keep these mothers, their children, the teen moms, and everyone serving this weekend in your prayers as they experience God's love, encouragement, and hope.

Fueling up for a day of service! 🇳🇮🍽️

Today's breakfast included eggs, rice and beans, toast, local cheese, fresh watermelon, bananas, and fresh juice. Grateful for God's provision and ready for the day ahead! 🙏

Handmade with Love

One of the highlights of today was seeing the beautiful crocheted hats lovingly made by the women here. Each one is a reminder of the creativity, care, and community that make this place so special.

We're grateful for the opportunity to learn from and serve alongside our brothers and sisters in Nicaragua.

A Gift of Generosity

Today we delivered the donations our Bayside family generously collected for the ministry in Nicaragua. From school supplies to much-needed essentials, these gifts are a tangible expression of God's love and the incredible generosity of our congregation.

Tom Winter: Our day began with a time of devotion, worship, and music as we gathered to center our hearts on Christ before serving. What a blessing to be led in worship by this talented young musician as we prepare for another day of sharing God's love in Nicaragua.
