New Church in Nicaragua

Alcance Nicaragua is pleased to announce the dedication of Mision Evangelica Methodisa in Ruben Dario, Nicaragua! Dr. Jim Lowry, board members of Alcance Nicaragua and a short-term mission from Norcross First United Methodist Church (GA) were present for the ribbon cutting dedication on September 19, 2006. The dedication was a part of a week-long celebration at the new church.


Alcance Nicaragua remains committed to planting churches in Nicaragua to bring together people so they may develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.


The church building is quickly becoming an important gathering place within the community. Alcance Nicaragua supports a feeding program for 160 pre-school children five days a week. At this breakfast meal the children receive a meal and a vitamin approved by a local physician. Breakfast time at the church is a lively time of fellowship, nutrition and opportunity for prayer as food is prepared for the children

An additional program at the church is the preparation of food for elementary thru high school students in the neighborhood. Food will be provided by the government and will be prepared by church members and school parents at the church. Approximately 1100 kids are fed daily, five days a week. This program will begin in late January 2007.

Alcance Nicaragua continues to seek partners for continuation of the work in Ruben Dario. During the next year, we will focus on building the support for Mision Evangelica Methodisa and developing additional outreach activities in the community. Your prayers, service and financial support are all necessary for these programs to grow and reach more people for Jesus Christ.
