Georgia volunteers in Nicaragua


Anyone who has participated in a short-term mission team knows the way God can unify diverse personalities and gifts in pursuit of his purposes. This usually is more dramatic when the mission is to a remote location complicated by language and cultural barriers. The team of Middle Georgia Methodist missionaries who spent January 28th through February 4th in Leon, Nicaragua came together in service and song.
Twenty members from nine different Middle Georgia United Methodist churches made up the team that served people of poverty-stricken Leon, Nicaragua. The Rev. Bill Huddle, pastor of the Dixon UMC, and his wife Terry, assisted by the Rev. Whit Kirkland, pastor of the Jeffersonville UMC, led the team. The Rev. Sam Lamback, pastor of Park Memorial UMC was the third clergy member.
