Community Loving

We spent Wednesday spending more time loving on the communities surrounding the Academy.  In the morning we sent a small group to a preschool located in the neighborhood where many of our kiddos are from.  The kiddos had a blast coloring pictures, throwing balls, and learning how to play hopscotch.  It is so cool to see how God creates His kids in Nicaragua to enjoy many of the same games as His kids in the USA.  What a reminder of what’s to come in heaven when we will all stand together as one family! 

After lunch we opened our doors to serve the families of our students by offering a women’s clinic and had the chance to serve the school’s neighborhood by throwing a mini Radius parade by loading a wagon with water, walking the streets, and handing out about 130 bottles of water.  It was a great way to love on our community and let them know that as refreshing as a cool bottle of water is on a hot and dusty night, accepting Jesus can offer so much more.

14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
